Re: Orion
in reply to a message by beethoven
It's actually becoming pretty common - Chris Noth has a son named Orion.
I used to really love it, now I'm not sold on it. It reminds me of Oreoes and it's one of the names that parents use to be 'different' without being 'too different.' My partner couldn't talk me into it (I'm the one who normally does the talking into anyway) - just because of my associations. As for a middle name I'd expect something like Christopher - just like my middle name is Elizabeth. Uncommon with common.
