Grin Foxy i was convinced i was having a girl and had a name i loved. I too may be forced to keep trying until i get the chance to use it. Grin

I love it. DH vetoed it, the git Grin

Go for it! It's unusual but not weird - people will raise their eyebrows but not in a nasty way, just in an 'ooh, that's interesting' sort of way.

I'm jealous now. May have to have a third child now...

I think that's pretty much what I'm hoping for Remus. I wonder if i could just show dp some of these comments cos he's more on the fence than me.

It's fine. I have taught 3 Damons in my career and all of them were clever, handsome and a bit cheeky. :)

hmm the damien mix ups would wear thin. I like the fact that it's unusual but not too weird. My other favourite was a singer related name and i discounted it for that reason seemed a bit sad/peculiar. Confused

Have you seen the film op

Ummofumbridge · 23/12/2012 22:11

Bf as in best friend btw

Ummofumbridge · 23/12/2012 22:11

My DS bf is Damon and he's 16.
I also know a 14 yo one.
I don't love it or hate it. There's nothing wrong with it IMO so use it if you love it!

ornellaia · 23/12/2012 22:09

I know a 5 year old Damon, it's not my favourite name but there's nothing wrong with it. And it makes me think of Damon Albarn from Blur too, which is no bad thing.

BendyBobsBrusselsSprouts · 23/12/2012 22:08

I always think Damon/Damien sounds like demonConfused

KenDoddsDadsDog · 23/12/2012 22:07

Damon from Blur. Yes.

SweetMingePie · 23/12/2012 22:06

When I see Damon I instantly think Damon Albarn from Blur. It's a nice name.

Mu1berryBush · 23/12/2012 22:04

I like it.

Francagoestohollywood · 23/12/2012 22:03

Yes, just because like Nigella, makes me think of Damon Albarn, who is gorgeous Grin

NigellasGuest · 23/12/2012 21:59

makes me think of Damon Albarn and I'm a big fan, so it's a resounding YES from me!

sausagesandwich34 · 23/12/2012 21:58

I know 2 damons

one late 40s the other early 20s so if you follow that cycle it's due a come back Grin

I quite like the name but both spend their entire lives saying 'no not Damien, Damon!'

AndBingoWasHisNameOh · 23/12/2012 21:56

No for me I'm afraid.

oh no don't like Darius. It doesn't grab me.

OP posts:
Arithmeticulous · 23/12/2012 21:17

I'd think Damon Hill Grin Er, even though that's a good thing, I'm not sure it's one for a comeback.
Where do you stand on Darius?

HidingfromHousework · 23/12/2012 21:13

I like it a lot but i've never come acRoss another one and i wondered if it was too odd. I'm thinking a 'normal' middle name so he can use that if he decides he wants to because his mother has no taste Grin

OP posts:
peanutMD · 23/12/2012 20:49

I like Damon, most importantly though do you like it?

nannyof3 · 23/12/2012 20:44
