Weeeird.... I literally JUST now came across this name at www.freecrappyportraits.com
I would assume to pronounce Ammon as "AM-un" and Amon as "AY-mun"The "AH-mun" pronunciation sounds too close to "amen" and "Amun-Ra" - not bad associations necessarily. "Ah-mun" does seem to be the correct pronunciation though

Weird for me too. I just (10ish minutes ago) started reading a book about rocks and fossils. "Ammonites (right) were named after the Egyptian god Ammon," is a sentence I read on the 3rd page.Anyways, I really like the name Ammon. I think it's quite handsome with the Ah-mun pronunciation.
