I've had a problem with the name
Damian, esp. spelled
Damien, for years because of the movie associations. :P Just recently I've started liking it a bit--but ONLY spelled
Damian, lol, since
Damien is the spelling used in "The Omen" (not sure about "The Exorcist" though). I still probably would never use it, though, as I'm a bit superstitious. :-/
BTW, my best friend growing up dated a guy named
Damien when she was 16. He had long hair, looked like a "head banger" (it was the 1990s, lol) and he was born on
Christmas Day, which was ultra creepy (wasn't
Damien in the Omen born on
Christmas Day or somesuch? he claimed his mother didn't know about the movie/or it was after he was born, can't remember). He was a super sweet guy, though, and even though he was teased a little about it, he took it all in stride. :)
