I like it. Is there something I'm missing?

Have you never seen The Omen then?

EdwardBear · 14/03/2009 15:16

DH tried to convince me on this one but all I can think of when I hear the name is the Omen

ChocolateFace · 14/03/2009 16:00

Oh - I've never seen it - I presume it's a horror film. (I don't do over 15 certificates coz I'm a wuss )

That expalins it - Thanks.

In fact the child named Damian in the film is Satan (iirc).

Ach, sod that film, it's a very old film. Barnaby is a dinosaur, Milo, Max and Bella tweenies, Charlotte is a spider, Rory is a car, Finley is a fire engine, I could go on all day really.

Elizabeth Hurley chose it for her son.

tbh, I prefer Damon, but I don't see why everybody considers a name unusable because of an American film that is about 30 yrs old!!

I like it.

whoingodsnameami · 14/03/2009 16:10

It reminds me of Rodney from Only Fools and Horses

I do know someone called Danian.

whoingodsnameami · 14/03/2009 16:12

reminds me of this guy too

Wasn't he the son of Satan? The anti christ rather than Satan himself.

I love the name personally.

Bakersman · 14/03/2009 17:43

Wasn't the Omen spelt Damien?

Sazisi · 14/03/2009 17:50

I like it.
I know a lovely bloke called Damian.

Call your kid that. Don't watch the movie. Simple

It's strange how that one stuck, isn't it? people didn't stop calling their children Jason, Michael or Freddie after the horror films. I wonder why Damian (though I think the pp was correct and it is spelt with an 'e' in the film) has remained so connected with the character.

I must say, it's the first thing that comes to my mind when I hear the name...and I haven't even seen the film!!

Try Damon instead?

flaminhell · 15/03/2009 08:52

Christ no!

KingRolo · 15/03/2009 08:53

I teach a teenage Damian and afaik nobody has taken the piss. It's a very, very old film.

Damien or Lucifer - decisions, decisions??
