Just out of curiosity. I've always loved the sound of that name. I guess it gets a bad rap from the "Exorsist". I am a believer in God and a christian. Just really like the flow of that name!?

Or I guess it was the "Omen" Sorry!

I think it is a very cute name. Don't let superstition get in the way of a name you like!

The name is from the Omen movie and yes i'd name my kid that if i really liked it. It is just a movie anyway. Damien is a really cute name. The meaning of the name Damien is To Tame so it has no reference to evil. It is just like the name sabrina which is a cute name but everyone thinks of the witch. In a few years no one will remember the movie and the sterotype will be gonee.

Actually, I would. There is no evil meaning behind the name. I'm one that believes you should use a name you love despite its meaning as meanings are misconstrued allthe time.
Yes, it's now seen as evil thanks to the writers of "The Omen"
Which is just ridiculous...How many truly evil names do we know? Very few. They're are plenty that no one will use because of a connection to a bad person. But a name doesn't make a person good or bad. The choices that person makes and the environment one grows up with makes a person.

Just because the name of the kid in the move The Omen was Damien doesn't mean you can't use it. I like the name. I could probably find several ways to spell it too..
Damien
Damian
Daymien
Daymon
Deymen
Deymien
Demieyn

My 4 month old son's name is Damian Luca. His name means "To tame" "Light"
Damian means...."To tame"
I have people make comments regarding the movie the Omen. "how could you give that name to your son? you're asking for trouble"
My son is very calm and almost always happy (except when he's over tired but that is any kid right?)
There is also St. Damian...patron saint of medicine, doctors, and pharmacists. Twin brothers...Sts. Cosmas and Damian
I believe your child will be his own person...just because his name is Damian/Damien and in a movie his character was the son of the devil does not mean he will be the same.
I know some children who seem like the son of the devil and none of their names is Damian!

Sure, it's just a name and The Omen was just a fictional drama. Nothing scary there. I like the name Damian.

even though it is from all of the religious names and it DOES get a bad rep, if it is what you like i would DEFFINATLY name him Damien. I have a nephew named Damien, he is the sweetest little boy ever, and for his first halloween he was dressed as a devil, and the next was an ANGEL!! it doesnt matter WHAT the name means, unless you are REALLY into all that crap, it is just weather you like it or not, I mean he is YOUR child, not anyone else's.

Damien was fom omen, not exorcist. Evil child who was the spawn of satan. It IS a nice name, tho.

I would never name my little boy Damien because he was my ex-finance who stalked me for 1-1/2 after I left him because I busted him cheating.
