Eamonn
Wdyt of Eamonn? I've never given it much thought but encountered a customer yesterday with this name (or it at least sounded like "AY-men"), and he wore it well. I rather liked it. Obviously people in real life have this name, but how do you think it would fare? photo image_zps50478a13.jpg

I really like Eamonn. Another name I was first introduced to from the Dragon Age games. Though Eamonn is a character from the first game.I've met a few real life Eamonn's before. Actually my little sister-in-law has a school mate named Eamon.

I absolutely adore Eamonn, it's in my top 5 boy names. I think it's just so incredibly handsome and interesting. I don't think it'd be that hard for people to figure out, you really just have to imagine that the E is silent for people to pronounce it properly. It fits in with a lot of names that are popular right now, two syllables ending in -an.

I used to love Eamonn. My naming style has changed quite a bit over time, but I still have a soft spot for Eamonn.

It's kind of fitting the same trend as Declan and Lachlan and Finley and Ronan now IMO. Spelling it Eamonn makes it seem super-Irish.I like the sound of it tons. I have Eamon on my favorites list. I'm pretty sure I've come across a child named it - a nametag in a classroom, or on a roster of students. And I am certain I met a cat named it in the late nineties! So yeah, I think it's usable and happening. It's not that hard to teach people to pronounce things, if they're not too far off from what's intuitive.

It used to be one of my very favorite names back in the day, so even though it hasn't topped my list for years I still have a fondness for it. I think it's very handsome and I've encountered the occasional one in real life. I think it would fare just fine.
