For interesting perspective, here's a four year old thread I posted about this topic.

I wonder how the answers you get will be different.

Personally I like Damon more, it happens to be my favorite name at the moment and I would name a son it (if I were having one, which I'm not). I like it more for reasons similar to some of the ones given by people in that thread - the impression Damon gives me is more stoic/heroic, while Damian is more handsome/clever (and Damien is positively sparkly IMO).

I also like Damian though. Both Damon and Damian seem classic and reliable to me. The first time I met a guy named Damian I thought, really? People use it even though "the Omen"? And then I thought - and why shouldn't they, it's a nice name after all, friendly and calm sounding. I'm sure others probably do the same thing when they meet a Damon - throw out their silly ideas about it sounding like demon. And if they don't, well, I sorta feel sorry for them.
