i've been getting a lot of lip about these names, but one is a family name. i'll explain.
Damien Orion - Damien is a name that everyone thinks is either a black name or the name of the little boy from The Omen. now, i don't want my child being known as little satan, however, i love the name Damien because it is a beautifully expressive name. now, orion is a name i picked because i have a fondness for the constellation Orion.
Elizabeth Borden - yes, call her Lizzy Borden. that's what most people think i named my child after, but Borden is a family name of my husband's great grandfather. Elizabeth is a strong name, a royal name. i'm into history and love learning about queen elizabeth I.
so, is there truly wrong with these names? is that what everyone will think of when they hear these names being called? will my husband and i be looked at because they think we're into satan worship or murder? please, enlighten me and tell me your opinions.

this is a choice given to you and only you. but you really have to consider how mean children are. your girl child is going to be made fun of terribly. the boy, i doubt it. consider a different first name with elizabeth as the middle. my middle name is elizabeth so i'm partial to it.

There is nothing wrong with the names. I would assume that you are not going to call the child Damien Orion or Elizabeth Borden all the time, but rather Lizzy, liz, beth or Damien.

The only one you could possibly get away with is Damien. Lizzy Borden had an ax......

From experience naming four of my own children, I say you pick the name that YOU like regardless of what others think of it. It is what the name means to you and not what its been used for before that counts.After naming my kids names others didnt like, they decided those names actually suited them well later on. So go for it! A good name is better chosen than great riches.

Damien is pretty, no body can tell you what to name your child do what you want just think very carefully they will have it forever.

In America you don't want a name for a couple of reasons.
If they can get made fun of in a simple way.
If it is hard to say.
If the initials are bad.

No, I think they are beautiful names and if you love these names, don't care what other people say. And the names don't change who they are.
