I always feel like it's a little pretentious to say aUnt instead of ant.

I was going to say something similar. I say ant, but I think the difference in pronunciation is a cultural thing.

very similar to the Filipino way. we say "Tita" for aunt. DH's family is italian and its "Zia" or "Azi" depending on who we're talking to.

I used to get so much crap about this when I lived in MA. I say it like "ant", and they all thought that was so weird.
