How does the name Miron/Myron sound?

[Tkoko]

I came across a Slavic name Miron… which I like for its short form. But I know that it might sound strange for someone not of that origin… is that really so?

Yes now I see it as well

Yes in Slavic countries it is pronounced Mi-Ron with accent on the second syllable….does it change a bit your perception of the name?

I know a Myron (no non-British heritage), so that's my association with the name.

Spelling the name Miron looks different, and i'd just think 'probably from the eastern part of Europe', ask if it was pronounced Mirrón. That's it.

This is so beautiful Mirron) like you wrote it… thank you

Would make me think of Myra Breckenridge (transgender, real name Myron).

But if it reminds you of someone does it mean that the name is bad?

The name Myron makes me think of a middle aged bespectacled Jewish American. It’s a fairly common name amongst Jewish baby boomers, I believe.

My second thought would be Myron Reducto from Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law.

I don’t hate it, but it’s kind of ‘ugly cool’. Like Gertrude or something. If I met a kid called Myron, I’d assume he had very trendy parents who lived in Dalston.

That's where I've come across it. Was trying to remember. Thank you.

I quite like it, OP.

And if it is Mee-Ron?

Why does this spring to mind?
The Mekon - Wikipedia

I quite like it

Merryn and Mirren seem to be gaining a bit of popularity for girls (Welsh and Scottish origins I think), so it may read as a female name, but it sounds quite unisex, like Rowan

It's "ugly vintage" like Harold, Horace, Norman, Sheldon, etc. Arthur and Stanley have come back around though, so Myron might be next? It's not for me.

What about Miron?

Not a nice name I’m afraid .agree ugly vintage vibe.

Miron is much nicer, but the pronunciation is by no means intuitive.

It sounds like one of the names youd see on the credits of a black and white American series like The Adams Family e.g. Miron G Hoffenbacker or something.

In the Anastasia books by Lois Lowry, her father is Myron.

Sounds like something from the 1930s Flash Gordon.

I was thinking it sounds like a robot in a sci-fi series.

Horrible. A mash-up of Myra and moron - neither particular savoury ideas.

Yes, ugly-vintage is exactly the vibe! I think those names are starting to come back round though, I met a baby Bernard recently.

Ah, that’s just horrible. Truly awful. Sorry.

Also, where do you live? In an English speaking country, he’d be correcting people’s pronunciation every single day.

@theunbreakablecleopatrajones , Merryn is Cornish, Mirren is Scottish, both male saints, but the names are mainly used for girls.

Well it’s an existing Slavic name… so if the short for it Mirò, does it sound so awful? Like would Arlo sound soooo much better?

Ron is quite a cool name. Didn't do that Ron Bacardi fellow any harm.

Or even Milo?
