[Opinions] Re: Damian, Zarek, Alexander
in reply to a message by Adrian
Omen and the evil kid ruined Damian for me for ever. I just can't like it. All I can think of is that kid.
I love Alexander as a middle name. It's so handsome and classic. It's much better as a middle name than as a first name in my opinion. Zarek is interesting. Not my style but it goes very well with the other two names and I think Damian Zarek Alexander has a great flow. I really like the sound of it. Damian Alexander is a bit bland in comparison. Zarek makes it a lot more interesting.

Yes, I agree about the blandness of Damian Alexander. I mean, it has a great sound and cadence, but it's as if it needs something to spice it up a little.
See, I think this is why my wife has let me loose on baby names. I love her dearly, but her name choices are mostly pretty conventional -- Alexander, Sebastian, Benjamin, Trevor, Jacob, Michael. All perfectly wonderful names, but none of them really jump out at me. But when she hit on Damian, that struck a chord with me, and that's why it's our leading contender now. Meanwhile, I'm off throwing all kinds of fanciful girl names at her, and she's been wonderfully indulgent and patient with me, bless her.
I can appreciate how the movie ruined the name Damian for a lot of people. What I find odd is that *my* name, Adrian, was the name of the son of Satan in Rosemary's Baby, yet no one seems to make that connection the way they do with Damian! Somehow, my name got off the hook. All I get are the stupid "Yo, Adrian!" jokes. :)
