Aaron is my bro's name. Love it! Also, like Zachary.
Have you considered Calum ? That is also a favorite of mine.

I would not have known how to pronounce it. Until I saw the pronunciation, I was thinking more like A-mon. More middle eastern sounding, I guess. It's not an awful name, but he will be correcting pronunciation and spelling his entire life.

Callum is actually the Welsh spelling. In Irish, it's Colm.


So is it pronounced cal-luhm or calm?

Otherwise it sounds like you are trying too hard to be cool and different. Just give the kid a normal name.

I'm a second generation Irish-American and I love Eamonn! ( Also love the fish and chips place in Old Town)

There are two Eamonns in my kid's grade in his public HS in VA and no one seems to have trouble pronouncing it.

Awful. Give your children names they are not ashamed of!

As someone with an unusual name I can tell you that most people (including myself) won't know how to pronounce it and if they hear it, won't be able to spell it. Every year I had to correct every teacher, every time I heard my name called at the doctor's office I had to clarify they meant me. When I use my name it usually takes people a while to get it right and I often have to spell it out.

My mother had a common name in a year it was popular and she wanted me to have a unique name so that I wouldn't have to share my name with classmates. There are drawbacks both ways. If you like Eamonn, I say go with it, but yes, he will have to spend some time clarifying it.

Your list is similar to ours. Really similar. (We went with one name not on there: Owen.) Not surprisingly, I like Eamonn.
