I'm not a fan of Orion, but it's not horrible. However, at first glance, I thought it said Onion Christopher. :-/

Ooh I love Chris Noth and Sex and the City :)
Orion Christopher is a nice combo, but I find the practice of parents naming their child after themselves a bit narcissistic (not to mention sexist since it's usually only the men that get to pass down their name).

Not nessicarily many women give their daugthers their own names ad first named and middle.

I know...I said it's usually the man. Either way, I think it's an odd tradition. I'm all for honoring loved ones, family members, historical figures, etc. but when parents name their children after themselves I can't help but find it a big egotistical.

hmm I guess I se it as honouring [m]just like honouring anyone else. To each their own. My own daugther if I named her Lake her MN would be Sabrina.

I agreeJust because they had the kid, doesn't mean that the kid IS them. I don't mind if one name is used (ex. father named Morgan Lee Jones, son named Jacob Morgan Jones) but when the whole thing is the same as a parent it irks me.

Why? They made the kid. They'll be the ones raising him or her. Surely they're just as worthy of honoring as anyone else.
