I knew one once. Not keen. It's a bit too close to the sin of onen ! Or maybe again I'm being too harsh! you'll wish I'd go away.

BeQuicksieorBeDead · 09/07/2013 23:59

I love it. Did you know it means ' little green one'?! Cute!

UpTheFRIGGinDuff · 10/07/2013 08:30

Cringe, my first thought was "Oriface". I wouldn't go there.

I love it! Hadn't ever heard of the name until after ds born but would have been on my list. It's Cornish isnt it?

'orrible. Reminds me of 'orace.

Justfornowitwilldo · 10/07/2013 12:29

Nice. I prefer the spelling Oren.

CravingOlives · 10/07/2013 17:32

I like it, but prefer Torin Wink

My mother said that reminded her of torrid though. You can't please everyone!!

Sounds like Orinoko to me. Is that Enya? bleugh

My DSis was going for an Orin but all the ages aunts : grandparents kept saying Orange! So she now has an Owen.

Rhubarbgarden · 10/07/2013 19:03

I don't like it. It reminds me of the character in Howard's Way

I know a 10 year old orhan, he suits it I liked it when I heard it as its the sign on the book the never ending story.

BumpKitty · 10/07/2013 19:37

I quite like it, I thought of the neverending story too but I think that is Auryn.
