Personally I prefer NASA's pronunciation, which is "charon".

    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).

    This is typically how it’s pronounced in english.

    in greek, the C is basically silent, and it’s pronounced like Hair-on,

      In ancient Greek it was pronounced as “k”.

  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

  The correct pronunciation is Chacarron. Rhymes with Macarron.
