Help[Opinions] Re: Milon and Macon
in reply to a message by Ismene
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.
