How do you pronounce Eamon?

outnumbered · April 2009

We are thinking of Eamon Thomas (among many others). I am curious how people will pronounce it when they only see it written down. BTW what do you think of the name?

Someone on this board has a son with that name. I'm not sure how to say it...I would think A-mon?

I don't love it, but it's okay. Definitely different. ?

i've heard it pronounced ay-mun and have seen it spelled this way and also aemon. i have a bad association with it but it's an ok name. i think of a middle eastern guy when i hear this name.

A-mon. I know a few guys from Ireland with this name. I like it!

I would pronounce it "AY-mon" (long 'a' sound, as in 'day').

I like it, I think it's a very handsome name.

teamla2000 · April 2009

AY-mun. I love it!

I don't like it.

I would have pronounced it with a long E, as in Easton.

Same here. I'm not a fan of this name, even if it is actually pronounced Ay-mon

I live in Dublin, Ireland and this name is quite common.?

It's pronounced A-mun (A like day)

AllThatGlitters101 · April 2009

I would have said Eee-mon.

andrea922 · April 2009

Ay-mon. It doesn't rhyme with semen.

Temp950106187509203 · April 2009

Ay-mun. I love it. It was really high on my list before I married into a Danish surname that it sounds stupid with.

Thanks for all the answers. We have tons of names we are sifting through. I hear a lot of Irish names since I liven ear Boston. The middle eastern association made me laugh.

Eh, don't love it, don't hate it.

I'd pronounce it like Damon without the D.

wheelenl · April 2009

Ay-mon. Inevitably some people are going to say Ee-mon, but they don't get out much.

Hovie · April 2009

Ay-mon is how I would say it. And it's a name that could grow on me.

Kflie83 · April 2009

Eee-mon, I know a middle eastern guy names Emon.

I think its a great name. I pronounce it "ay-mun."
