Personal experiences with the name Damien

I named my son Damien because I liked the name. I never watched "The Omen" and don't plan to. This name is not evil and people who seem to believe it is are shallow. My son is a great kid. Plays sports, and has a big heart. My Damien is a sweetheart and I love him s name!

Why is everyone trying to slander this name? A name is just that....a name. My boyfriends name is Damien (yes, named after the omen because his mother wanted a powerful name and loves horror movies) but he is in no way a bad person. His mom talks about how well behaved he was as a child and even now is a kind man. Damien from the omen is a FICTIONAL character. NOT a satanic name. Maybe ill name my son Lucifer...

So should we also think twice before using the names Freddy, Michael, or Jason since they are also associated with horror films? Give me a break... People are crazy my sons name is Damien he's a great kid sweetest boy you'll ever meet.

Thank you for the above comment. I thought the same about the other names. My son is named Damien and he is an awesome kid.
