Yes I do but I think it's a shame as it sounds nice

earthyfire · 23/08/2020 22:19

Yes, I really dislike it.

ittooshallpass · 23/08/2020 08:09

Yep. Just think Devil straight away.
Never understood why liz Hurley chose the name for her son - assumed it was attention seeking 🤷‍♀️

Mashingthecompost · 22/08/2020 17:39

I like it. I don't think the association is that strong but I know 2 in real life and they're both good people. (In reply to the Lilith comment, I prefer Drusilla!)

Tristatearea · 22/08/2020 16:22

I literally hear O Fortuna in my head...

Only Fools and Hoarses.

Immigrantsong · 22/08/2020 16:16

OP surely if you are expecting a girl then go with Lilith!

Fits the genre.

The girl in the Omen films was Delia.

Redundant question now really as having a second girl Smile don’t think I would have been brave enough anyway

I also think devil child.

I just wouldn't

Pantheon · 22/08/2020 14:34

Yes

fuckingcovid · 22/08/2020 14:31

Hahaha? You can't be serious?

MikeUniformMike · 22/08/2020 14:28

Damian Slash

GroupSects · 22/08/2020 14:24

Makes me think of the Time Warp which always gets me running to the dance floor!
I really like it and Damon too.
Prefer the spelling Damien though.

crabette · 22/08/2020 13:43

I do immediately think Devil child, if that bothers you. Extracting that connection, it is actually a nice sounding name! But he will get that lots.

What about Damon? Also nice, less Omen.

OdeToDiazepam · 22/08/2020 13:30

I have a Damian 😊 he's a very popular and well loved child, sensitive and loves art, my best mate

Honeybee85 · 21/05/2020 05:47

I think of Damian Marley and start singing 'Beautifuulll here we go again my love, you know I will never let you gooooo'

I like the name Damian btw, I think it's classy and shame about the demonic associations.

sashh · 21/05/2020 05:38

I just hear the music, the same way Rodney did. Sorry OP.

IloveParmaViolets · 21/05/2020 05:13

Omen, not a name due for a comeback anytime soon. A bit like Adolph and Saddam, the people have overtaken the name.

locked2020 · 21/05/2020 01:39

Sorry, devil or only fools and horses. However, that may just be my age and won't mean that for younger generations.

GarlicSoup · 20/05/2020 20:35

The Omen and Liz Hurleys son (no link intended)

daisypond · 20/05/2020 20:18

Not really. It’s a great name. I like it.

justamumof1 · 20/05/2020 19:57

Omen

Wewearpinkonwednesdays · 20/05/2020 19:55
