Help[Opinions] Mileon
An old friend from school just had her fifth child, they named him Mileon. What do you think?
His siblings are Evelina, Felicia, Alexander and Sebastian.
I believe all other names are on the top 100 (or was the year they were born). Given that, I think Benjamin, Jonathan, Maximilian or Vincent would have matched other names better.

Mileon? I've seen Milian a few times. Mileon sounds awful, sorry. Like a misspelling of "million". Plus it doesn't harmonize with the other names (all very nice). It actually makes me think of the word myrlejon (antlion).

Mileon can be pronounced as Milian- like the end of Maximilian, which is on your list. But that makes it nicknamey, and not really go with such formal first names, unless it is just the nickname. Yeah.... not really liking it, either.

I like all the names except that one

How is it pronounced? Milon/(Maelon?) is actually one of my longest running favorites (pronounced "MY-lun")

Probably MEE-le-on

I agree...it just seems so out of place!

I like Mileon, and I was going to ask if your friend were Swedish before I saw your username. Mileon sticks out a bit from the others and I agree that the names you listed would have matched better.

I kind of like it because it reminds me of Gideon, though I don't know if they're pronouncing it the same way.

I have a feeling there is a difference in culture here, because all I can think of is a terrible rapper spelling of the word million.

Yeah it doesn't quite fit. I wonder where they got it from? It sounds interesting.

I don't know. Leon is quite common here so maybe being creative using that?

I would guess they got it from Milian, a short form of Maximilian that is pretty trendy right now.
