[Opinions] Aeon/Aion - how do you pronounce it?
I'm considering the name Aeon or Aione, but would you pronounce it ay-on, ee-on, or even eye-on (which is how it was pronounced when i took classical greek philosophy at college).
which is the normal pronunciation?

Aeon - EY-on
Aion - AY-on
Aione - AY-ohnI quite like the name but I prefer Aion/Aione. Aion on a boy and Aione on a girl.

Well, my best friend's niece is named Aeon, and she pronounces it AY-on, so that's how I would pronounce it. I don't know what the "normal" pronunciation is, though.

I have hopelessly bizarre pronunciation on the ae/ai question. AEON I'd say ay-on, AION I'd say eye-on. No idea which is the right one, sorry.

In both English and Swedish I would pronounce it like Ay-on but I have no idea if this is the "correct" way to pronounce it.
