A common misconception is that the name “Ayreon” is derived from Arjen’s own name, but this is purely coincidental: originally the minstrel from the first album The Final Experiment was called Aries, but when this didn’t fit the meters for the songs (Arjen himself mispronounced it A-ri-es (Note: This is how the Dutch do pronounce it), it was changed to Ayreon to sound both old-fashioned (Ay) and futuristic (Eon).
