[Opinions] Dorian. WDYT?
Still a few years off before my husband and I are having kids, but he recently decided that he liked the name Dorian for a boy. He's a musician and Dorian is his favorite mode. I'm still not sure about it. So, what do you all think?

Am I the lone dissenter?I find the literary connotation much, much too weighty and negative, and frankly somewhat sissified, no offense. What about Darius instead?

If DH didn't have a slacker at his job named Dorian, it would have been our upcoming arrival's name ;c) I love it too and it's not very common. * pronounced EH-vah =)

Yakko: We're not acting. We really are like this.
