Demon? Damon? Or something more exotic?

It’s just an old spelling of demon. So that.
“Demon”
It was always “demon” (spelled daemon or dæmon), as in a spiritual attendant. Christian mythology has poisoned the word, and anyone who says “daymon” to not offend them is a coward.
See here:
Calm your tits (meaning your birds), I say “daymon”, and I relish any opportunity to offend the overly devout.
My reason is simple: I learned the word by reading it and sounding it out, and that’s more badass than “haha I say demon because I’m edgy”
Day mon
Daymon. Fighter of the nightmon. Champion of the sun.
What do you want, Picard?
Gesundheit
D ayyyyy mon
Same way that I say Matt Damon.
Matt Daemon
Demon, because it offends purists, and FreeBSD’s mascot is a demon.
Day Man
Fighter of the Night Man
He’s a master of command lines and shell scripts for everyone!

The ‘ae’ in daemon is the same as the æ in encyclopædia.
How do you pronounce encyclopædia?
the same as daemon
Demon?
No, dæmon
Deemon
Just as it reads. You smash that E into the A’s ass. Starting the E before the A finishes.
When I see that spelling I just hear Ted Mosby
Dammit! Now I have to pronounce Encyclopaedia incorrectly 😞
