Sorry to butt in, but Eamon / Eamonn is a favorite of mine and I wanted to make sure there wasn't a misunderstanding. It's pronounced, "AY-mun," not "EE-mun." So it doesn't rhyme with semen. You're free to still dislike it, of course.

Really? I had no idea. I've never actually looked up the pronunciation because it looked so intuitive. Go figure. Well all right then. So Eamon rhymes with Damon? Geez, I gotta be on the lookout for those Irish tricksters.

That's the whole point of Irish names -- to keep people guessing. :-P
