Yes, I hear the music ...

PeppaisaBitch · 15/05/2020 19:07

I know one. Damien. Never had any comments or looks. He's also lovely. No problem at all.

FizzyGreenWater · 15/05/2020 19:07

Hmm not exactly chavvy, more dismal 80s I'd say. Sort of Lisa.

BUT that aspect totally blown out of the water by the Satan connection!

I suppose yes it is very similar to 'demon' hence the strong associaton even decades after the film/book

Onceuponatimethen · 15/05/2020 19:07

Yes sorry

And don’t like the sound of it either

sibbys · 15/05/2020 19:20

Yes

softjellycell · 15/05/2020 19:21

Yes, it was my first thought.

Bobsandbitz · 15/05/2020 21:32

No

Dur Dur Dur Dur

Kid on tricycle knocking the newly pregnant mother over the banister. Man I loved that film!

BertieBotts · 15/05/2020 21:35

I know someone who named their child it because of the devil connection because they thought that was cool Confused kid is fine and normal, probably because his weird dad fucked off when he was quite little.

PickUpAPickUpAPenguin · 15/05/2020 21:41

Yes- child from The Omen

Paedophilic sorryBlush

ShellsandSand · 15/05/2020 23:30

That so odd... that last comment as I was reading I was thinking of a paedophile I know of named Damien but was not going to comment it actually since it's not relevant to anyone else. How strange.

Chillipeanuts · 15/05/2020 23:35

One of the two nicest men I know.

Yelllow · 16/05/2020 00:09

Vampires

HopeWish · 20/05/2020 19:28

Yes. There was a boy when I was at primary school called Damian who was really nasty! Reminds me of him.

EveryoneLoves09876 · 20/05/2020 19:53

Yes. I'm so sorry but it scares me. Same as Dexter. Or Lucifer.

Ultrasoft · 20/05/2020 19:54

I've never seen the film but even so, yes that's the association.

Nagsnovalballs · 20/05/2020 19:55

Devil baby

Wewearpinkonwednesdays · 20/05/2020 19:55

Yes

justamumof1 · 20/05/2020 19:57

Omen

daisypond · 20/05/2020 20:18

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

GarlicSoup · 20/05/2020 20:35

The Omen and Liz Hurleys son (no link intended)

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.

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.

sashh · 21/05/2020 05:38

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