[Opinions] Re: Dallas, Damian, Darwin
in reply to a message by Billina
Not Dallas: too geographical, and not a town I'd ever expect to want to visit. And not Darwin either, though a friend of mine did give it to one of her sons as his third mn because of her admiration for Charles Darwin!
Damian is a clear winner. I like the association with medicine, though just as an anecdote, not because I'm even remotely religious and it's highly likely that Damian and Cosmo didn't exist in the first place. But it looks and sounds distinguished, and the two Damian people I know - give or take a French spelling - are excellent men, which helps, though the name doesn't need help. Some people who posted their opinions of it based on some movie or other seem to need help, though!

I've never watched "The Omen" movies with the villain named Damian, but it does seem to have traumatized a few members of the audience. Thankfully there are plenty of more enduring positive associations to counteract it.
