I think either the omen, only fools and horses or just chavy in general. Sorry!

Lostvoiced · 15/05/2020 18:01

No, I think of my brother.

He does occasionally get the "Oh like the devil" thing, but it's never bothered him.

He spells it with an e, but it's all the same.

I think it's a lovely name.

I don’t mind the only fools connection because I am a huge fan...I love the name and think it sounds distinguished but the devil thing is making me lean towards no

Del Boy and Raquel's baby.

I also have an ex called Damian. What a twat.

Don't do it, OP.

katie43210 · 15/05/2020 17:46

I've also got an ex called Damian and when mentioned he is referred too as either Satan or Lucifer... I wouldn't.

RaininSummer · 15/05/2020 17:45

I do think of The Omen first but I also had a friend called that and there was character on Brookside I think. I like it as a name.

JoeExoticsEyebrowRing · 15/05/2020 17:45

First thought is The Omen, followed very closely by Only Fools and Horses. I don't think it is even a particularly nice name, it does sound too much like Demon.

Maybelatte · 15/05/2020 17:44

Yes I definitely do, also Only Fools And Horses.

Canadianpancake · 15/05/2020 17:42

I think of a boy I went to school with who was a dirty little sex pest. Makes my lip curl whenever I hear that name.

WinWinnieTheWay · 15/05/2020 17:40

I think of the omen or a criminal child from Liverpool (I don't know why).

Corneliusmurphy · 15/05/2020 17:05

The one I know of has obviously decided to own it as his number plate has 666 in it Grin

Utterlydespairing · 15/05/2020 17:00

I went to school with a Damien and nothing was said to him

Endorphins · 15/05/2020 16:59

Yes

FiveOutOfFiveGoldblums · 15/05/2020 16:58

Damien Trotter

on the other hand....

Damien Maloney
Damian Lewis

FiveOutOfFiveGoldblums · 15/05/2020 16:56

Liz Hurley because her son was the spawn of the devil. I do wonder how he feels about the name but I did think kudos to her at the time.

yorkshireteaspoonie · 15/05/2020 16:53

I think only fools and horses sorry!

Oneearringlost · 15/05/2020 16:52

Yes, I do ...
Or Lewis, or Grammaticus

user3274826 · 15/05/2020 16:52

A little but it wouldn't put me off if I loved it. I think it's a nice name.

Blueuggboots · 15/05/2020 16:50

Yes, the omen, then Liz Hurley's child. Not good.
I do know a Dayman but it constantly gets changed to Damien.

Jayneisagirlsname · 15/05/2020 16:50

I would've thought of The Omen but since 2 years ago, I now think of the most adorable little boy in my year 1 class.

IcyWind · 15/05/2020 16:50

No I love it

chipsandpeas · 15/05/2020 16:50

yip think of the omen

idsisatwat · 15/05/2020 16:50

My husband....

ClementineTangerine · 15/05/2020 16:50

Makes me think of only fools and horses!
