Would it really be that bad...

to use the name Damian? Dont jump on me lol, I havent decided on anything yet, but 4th baby is due in 5 weeks and we still cant settle on a name, mostly because I love Damian and nothing else matches up. Does anyone have a Damian/Damien?

Damian/ Damien is a great name, and I think the Omen connection is very thin at this point. DD is in class with a Damien whose father is a church deacon, very nice boy. No-one has ever mentioned the film wrt the name.

I would completely avoid Miller Williams, ditto Wallace. (Mill, Millie same as Wally)

Other names with a similar ending are Simeon and Samson.

hubs still states he will think about it

I have been looking up sol, as I do like it but not solomon. I found the hebrew version of sol is Saul and means prayed for, which is very true, I had a miscarriage before this baby and then during this pregnancy I had an abruption where I nearly went into early labour at 18 weeks. Also saul is the previous name of the apostle paul...paul is my husbands name.

Its growing on me, but I am not sure it goes well with mason and would it matter that its hebrew spelling? Is it venturing into the ridiculous a bit? Honest opinions, I can take it!

What about Seth and Mason?

Sorry meant to say it might be a bit rhymey, Paul and Saul, hence maybe Seth?

I thought about that, though I dont think its so bad when its not a sibling...not like say calling this one jason...mason and jason

I am not really keen on seth, for some bizarre reason it always makes me think of snakes. I really dont know why.

I see your point, especially if anyone said the name with a lisp!

My middle child has a lisp at the moment! bless her. Saul would be a good name in terms of being easy to pronounce for them I suppose.

Oh I cant believe I am finding this so hard, it was really easy to name my other three. My eldest is Summer Christine, middle is Elsie Catherine, youngest is Mason David. Only other issue with Saul, is that its one syllable, so it doesnt quite flow with the sibling names.

Is that being too picky?

Damian was a pre-existing name which happened to be chosen by a screenwriter to describe a fictional character in a film which will soon be forgotten.

If you love it then go for it. It's a lovely name.

My cousin is called Damian and was born right after the film 'The Omen' was released. It certainly hasn't been an issue for him, and will be even less relevant now (30+ years on). It is a very strong name, it'll be shortened to 'Damo' (Dame-O), so if you're happy with that- go for it!

If you decide Damian isn't going to work.....I love it by the way, (was going to use it 18 years ago, but my mother freaked and said it was satanic LOL), how about Brian?
Similar sound which a manly meaning

• with

how about Damon as in Damon Wildeve in Return of the Native. i love it!

I think Wallace might be quite cool, but possibly not with Williams, and definitely not with Ellis. Personally I think Damian is a bit similar to Mason, but I don't think the Omen is recent enough to be a problem any more.
