Karen.
The guide across the river Styx?
Yes.
Moon?
No.
They’re the same dude
No it’s not.
The mythology one is pronounced Karen
The moon is named partly after his wife so it sounds like Sharon.
This guy is pronounced Karen
The moon like Sharon
Wouldn’t make sense for the moon to be different than the god since it’s named after him (hence why they chose that name for a moon of Pluto, lord of the underworld).
Named for a dude’s wife, Charlene, and shoehorns into an appropriate mythological figure
All of the idiots in this thread thinking they know how it’s pronounced.
It’s pronounced charon. SMH.
I always found it funny to read it as Sharon, and now you’re telling me it’s named after someone called Charlene? This keeps getting better
Sharon!!
The correct pronunciation is Chacarron. Rhymes with Macarron.
