Byron has a regal feel to it and exerts power. Yet the meaning is unpleasant. The name offers a good namesake.Myron has a much softer feel but can sound a bit whimpy, for lack of a better word. It has a pleasant meaning and it also offers a good name sake.Which name should be allowed to stay on my PNL list.

I like Byron much better. I once knew a man when I was little that I called Brother Byron and he is a very kind man, so the name has good associations for me. Plus, like Sophie said, Myron looks too much like moron.

Definitely Byron. The meaning isn't so bad... It's no worse than something like Leighton or Arkady, or any other place-namey names. It has a strong sound, a great namesake, and is more difficult to make fun of than Myron.

Byron, definitely.Like you said, Byron exerts a feeling of power. The meaning isn't that important as most people won't even know about it. Besides, Lord Byron is a good namesake. Myron is one of the ultimate wuss names for boys; like you said, "wimpy".

It seems to be a truth universally acknowledged that Myron is a wimpy name. That's all I've ever heard about it, but I don't see it. I really like it! I can't believe it's hardly ever used.I like Byron but I've only ever met one. He was a floppy-haired toff, and that name already seemed a bit artsy and pretentious... Still, I like it.
