Help[Opinions] Milon and Macon
WDYT of these? Pronounce "MY-lun" and "MAY-kun"
Milon has been a favorite of mine for some time and it goes on an off my list because I'm unsure about how usable it actually is. This site - http://babynamesworld.parentsconnect.com/meaning_of_Maelon.html - says that Maelon is pronounced like Milon and means "prince" but I don't know how legit that is. Anyone know?
And have just been thinking about Macon today. Does it sound incredibly trendy to you?

Milon isn't bad but it sounds a bit trendy, I'd also have assumed the first syllable rhymes with "mill."
Macon = make + bacon.
Macon = make + bacon.

I'm not really a fan of either one, sorry. Macon reminds me of bacon.

I knew a boy named Macon but they pronounced it MAC-in, so thats the first thing I think of when I see that. Both seem a bit hard to pronounce with those spellings and could be confusing to people, I would have said mil-ON for Milon.

Macon is a city in Georgia and should be left as a name for a city.

Milon makes me think of myelin sheaths. But it's not bad.
I don't know how legit you could say Maelon is. The pronunciation is accurate. I think we've had a Mael discussion on here before. Mael is a Celtic word for "prince," says BtN. Breton, looks like. But it's not the Welsh word according to the dictionary, nor does it mean anything at all. Doesn't mean it's not recognized or used with that meaning since it is a Celtic word though, maybe someone else would know more about that. And then the -on part would just be like an Anglicized diminuative suffix.
Macon is too bacon.

I'd assume that Milon is to Milo as Platon is to Plato - and since Milo is a chocolate drink where I live, it's nice to see a non-edible (drinkable?) alternative to it. Thank you!
Macon, to my knowledge, is a fake bacon made from some or other kosher animal; not sure which. So, no.
