Answer 6

I love Eamon- it's an Irish name traditionally, but it's so easy to pronounce and spell, plus it's incredibly uncommon (always a good thing)! I've liked it for a long time and I'm glad someone else sees how cool it is :)

Eamon is a nice name. I like it.

I think Eamon James would be a good combination.

I dont really like it but I think accent has alot to do with it. In my accent it doesnt sounds too good but said in another accent it might be nice. I reckon the Olympics will influence baby names for sure - successful names for successful babies that kind of thing :)

I like it. Its one of my favorite Irish names, right after Donovan & Connor.

he'd probably get teased growing up. like with a jamaican accent: "Ehh mahn!"

Answer 14

ya i know a guy with that name.. he lived near me growing up.. seemed pretty cool to me.. Eamon

Even though it is pronounced Ay-Mon, it still reminds me of demon. Or like a Jamaican saying "hey man!" or also Poke-mon.  I'm sorry, my opinion though.

Answer 23

i'd like it better if it was spelled Aymon

Answer 24

I love Eamon!  It's my favorite boy's name right now.  It's an old Irish name and very unique.  It has never hit the top 1000 in the last 120+ years.  It's a very classy name too.  It means "rich/blessed protector".

I'm actually thinking of naming one of my kids Eamon if I have a boy.

Answer 25

I think of that singer from the 90's who sang the F*CK IT song... but thats just me.. ( =

Answer 26

It's a great Irish name. It is pronounced more like aim-an than Ay-Mon. Like the name Damon only without the D or the Cayman Islands without a C. You may be saying it the correct way. I am not sure if other readers are saying it correctly when they read Ay-Mon.  

Answer 27

Sure.

I dated an "Ay-mon" Amir.. great name ...

He was a handsome devil and nice and talented.

Not sure on the spelling.
