[Opinions] Damon
How do you feel about the name Damon for a guy? It’s pronounced like “Day-muhn,” and I’m currently in love with it; I also don’t care that it sounds similar to “demon” (at all).

I like it, though usually would prefer Damien or Eamon. The drawback for me is that it seems commonly used for macho/bad-boy type characters in pop culture (I think mainly of Damon Salvatore, Daemon the Rogue Prince, Daemon Blackfyre)...I don't think that ruins it objectively (I could probably also say it is associated with strong and witty characters); it just stands out to me personally, especially since I know people do associate the word daemon/demon, plus the meaning.

It's too similar to demon for my liking
I think it’s alright, but I’m with you: it sounds too much like “demon”.
I like it
It's not my taste. But reminds me more of Matt Damon than a Daemon
Love it
