I pronounce it to rhyme with Simon. It reminds me of a character in the series "Rome", as that's the only place I've heard it. Timon is a 'hired sword' - he tortures or kills people for Julius Caesar's niece, in exchange for sex or money.

If it was ti-MOAN, I'd think of Lion King.

First thought: Timon & Pumba

I'd pronounce it TEE-mon, Timon doesn't sound better, because t sounds exactly the same, but it sure looks better :)

Tymon seems like it should be pronounced TIE-mon, and Timon should be pronounced ti-MONE. I'm not a fan of either. I think Simon is a lot better. The Ty- in Tymon makes it look made up and trendy. Timon makes me think of Timon and Pumbaa from the Lion King.

Hmm. First thought it looks like Simon gone wrong. Second thought was Timon & Pumba. So I don't know where to put the accent.
It's really not my style, I don't like it at all.

Tymon Henry
Tymon Peter
Tymon Alexander
Tymon Michael
Tymon Elijah
Tymon Valerian
Tymon Arthur

I just looked it up and Tymon is indeed a legitimate name, but it just looks so annoyingly trendy and made up. A Timon, on the other hand, would constantly get teased about the Lion King. I don't know, I think they're both kind of bad. I'm sorry. =[

I don't really like this spelling of it, Timon is ok, but I prefer the similar Timo.
