HelpRe: Damian/Damien
in reply to a message by jessica_p
I really like it. I don't think Damian seems devilish at all.
I prefer Damian over Damien, because 1. Damien was the spelling in Omen, I think, and 2. Damien looks sort of femmey to me (like Vivien, Julien, Adrien, etc) and those two things combine to give Damien a sort of vampy character. I've know a guy named Damian whose style was a little bit suited to the devilish connotation people find in the name (he was sort of a punk rocker I guess), but he was a manly person, not all fey and Damien-y.
(Apologies to Damiens everywhere - I've never met you, so this is just my impression of the name on paper. I think Damien is a decent name)
I like Damon even more than Damian (it has the same origin). I know it's dated and associated with some dorky dudes, but that is kind of why I like it. It's more of a statement than Damian is. Someone (New Chloe?) said that it was "thuggish and slow, earthy and dense" compared to Damian's "clarity, sparkle, energy, intelligence" and I agree with that impression (and I still like Damon more!). I think Damian sounds more modest and subtle, too. It's a great name =)
