Please help me decide on the spelling for our soon-to-be born baby boy. Which is better? Also, do you think if we choose [name]Eamon[/name] that he’ll constantly have to correct people on the pronounciation (“it’s not EEE-mon, it’s AAA-mon”) Thanks!
I love this name! But it def has to be spelled [name]Eamon[/name]. It is one of those names that you only have to correct once and they will remember it. Irish names have started to intergrate into [name]America[/name] as opposed to be ‘Americanized’ so it will only be a matter of time before it becomes usual. Think about it, when names like [name]Esme[/name] and [name]Carys[/name] came out people probably wondered if there would be pronunciation issues.
[name]Eamon[/name]- it may be a bit challenging, but it’s the original spelling and I’d be tempted to pronounce [name]Aimon[/name] “EYE-mon” anyway. I really don’t think there’s a way to simplify the pronunciation.
[name]Eamon[/name], definitely! 
[name]Eamon[/name] or [name]Eamonn[/name]; love this name!!! 
I prefer [name]Eamon[/name] but I think that he will have to correct people
I also prefer [name]Eamon[/name].
People butcher names all of the time, I’m not sure it can be prevented I am [name]Jeannine[/name] and people constantly call me “[name]Jeannie[/name]”. My sister [name]Siobhan[/name] and she has been called “[name]Cy[/name]-o-ban” and even once “soybeans” :lol: both were by teachers I do think Irish names are becoming much more common and familiar, so it probably won’t be much of an issue
