No, I prefer 9-gon. This question about fancy names for polygons recurs from time to time in various news groups, and John Conway has tried to lay it to rest with his clever list. However it has hardly any relevance to what mathematicians actually use. I regard the term "enneagon" as rather perverse, and "nonagon" as even more perverse.
