Help[Opinions] Re: Opinions on Dorian?
in reply to a message by Egyptian Princess
I don't like it.
It's nothing to do with the name itself. It's handsome, and it carries itself well. However, I have a deep and abiding lover for Oscar Wilde and, more than that, for The Picture of Dorian Gray. I couldn't ever call a child Dorian--I'd feel like I was tempting Fate into turning him into a nogoodnik. ;)
The only character in that book I'd even think of naming a child after is Basil.

I can see your point entirely :) But I guess I could look at it as Dorian Gray did try to repent and kill his conscience by stabbing the painting but he killed himself in the process.
I guess it would look worse if he never felt guilty at all :) So I guess I can look past the Dorian Gray connotations :)
