Dont normally post on here,and dont mean to be rude,but I looked at it quickly and thought it said onion.

LOL @ Onion!

[[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orion_(constellation) Orion a constellation, the most obvious and most recognisable constellation in the winter sky. You will start seeing it soon very early in the morning.

It is pronounced Or Rion.

Nice name, I'd use it but then i'm in to astronomy and all that shit.

It does look like Onion when it's written down!

How about Stellen?

Clapped outsold Ford!

Methe · 01/09/2012 19:29

Love Stellan too. What about Sirius?

I love this name!!

Or-eye-un

The Hunter - you HAVE to get him a dog called Sirius Grin

O-rye-un

I think of the film company.

I'm ashamed my first thought wasn't stars.

I knew an Orion at school. Everyone called him Oz. he was VERY cool.

Love this name, similar to Ryan, but IMO more interesting (sorry if that offends anyone) without being weird.

PopcornCity · 01/09/2012 21:43

Orinoco as a similar alternative :o

baskingseals · 01/09/2012 22:31

aah. i always looked at the night sky and thought i'd call a son Orion. just that it would naturally happen. course it didn't. still think it is a cool name though.

I love it. DH vetoed it for every one of my boys. I should have slipped it in as a middle name somewhere.

And I did have a dog called Sirius!

I think Orion is a great name - solid, manly and easy to pronounce (Or-EYE-on).
