Is this just something we decided would symbolise baby speech or are children that grow up around English more likely to say this?

when I was a kid I had a baby cousin who crawled up to me, looked me dead in the eye and said GOO.
I was unsure of what to do, just sorta instinctively said goo back.
he continued holding eye contact but cracked a smile.
he started crawling away when I heard GAA.
i said it back to him when he was a good distance. He liked me.
anyway, whereever you are in Santa fe, good job getting your doctorate, Erin.
On no, don’t say you US people use Erin as a guys name as well! Dammit! I can barely understand the difference between how you say Aaron and Erin, and now I can’t even consider whether you lot are refering to a guy or gal to understand which name you mean! Ugh!! I just can’t with you lot! This is worse than losing to you in the soccer! /j
Wait until you hear about Dawn and Don.
I grew up in a part of the country that pronounces them differently. Moving out of that zone, I finally understood why a teacher I had (with the first name “Dawn”) hated her name.
😂 yeah, i hadn’t clocked that one yet. I’ll look out for it.
it’s ok; Erin is pronounced exactly like Aaron. “Air’in”
