Am really stuck choosing a name for my little boy due in the autumn. It was so easy to name my little girl but finding that there are so few boys names I like. The two I am considering at the moment are either Damien or Jackson and was wondering what the reaction to these might be (before I mention it to friends & family!)

I much prefer the sound and look of Damian. Also Jackson will get shortened to Jack, of which there are plenty imo!

Not Damien for reasons already outlined. (look up "The Omen")

What about Damon? Albarn, Hill etc

Jackson - I don't like surnames as first names, but that's just me. Jack would be great

NOT Damien.

Damien - the evil child from that film which terrifies me, sorry.

Jackson - wholesome American name.
