Personal experiences with the name Damon

I have friend named Damon but my Spanish teacher always pronounces and spells it as Damian.

I named my youngest son Damon after his father. I was seven months pregnant with four year old triplets when my husband, Damon, passed away. I love he name, and my wittle Dames so much. It's such a playful name.

My name is Damon. I think it's pretty cool. I love how to say it. Every now and then, someone will say it as Damian.

My older brother is named Damon and I've always been the jealous type of it. I wanted my name, Eleanor, to be Damon, even though it's a boy name. I love it a lot!

My youngest son of four boys is named Damon. Out of all four of my boys', Daniel, Dominic, Dylan, and Damon, Damon is by far my favorite. I love the way it rolls off the tongue and how it's so clear. Damon. I don't really like Damian. Damon is much better sounding.

According to Greek legend, Damon and Pythias were friends who lived on Syracuse in the 4th century BC. When Pythias was sentenced to death, he was allowed to temporarily go free on the condition that Damon take his place in prison. Pythias returned just before Damon was to be executed in his place, and the king was so impressed with their loyalty to one another that he pardoned Pythias.
