I know two and they are both Eamon without the extra n.

Sounds like a made up name by someone who can't spell.

I think it's lovely and considered it for my own son but my DH was lukewarm about it. I like how it looks but LOVE how it is pronounced. I also like the name Amos, but I felt like it rhymed too easily with, well, anus. I just really like the AME sound, obviously. Go for it!

Only one I've ever heard of is Eamon de Valera. Nice name though.

Of your list, my favorite is Patrick. I've always loved that name. And Paddy is as Irish as you can get!

Wouldn't Ammon be pronounced to rhyme with salmon like Ammon Bundy?

Eamon is pronounced with a long A?


The "ea" in Eamon sounds like the "a" in "may". I don't think "Ammon" would sound the same at all.

That would be an entirely different name.

In America, people probably would guess it's pronounced as ee-mon, in that case rhymes with DEMON.

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


So is it pronounced cal-luhm or calm?


Np here. Pronounced like "column".

A friend is named Eamonn. I like it but he does have to spell it all the time and most people can't pronounce it at least at first. They think it starts with a hard E.

There's an Eamon in my kid's class and no one seems to have any trouble pronouncing it correctly.
