I love Damian; it's one of my favorites. The sweetest boy I ever babysat was named Damian. I like it spelled either way.

This is probably the only time I prefer an -ien spelling to an -ian for a boy, but something about the Damian spelling looks... wrong. It's too bulky. I think Damien is much smoother written out.

Unfortunately, that's the spelling used in both The Exorcist (Father Damien Karras) and The Omen (Damien Thorn); so I feel like Damien gets a "demonic" reputation due to horror movies. :-(

I like the name itself.

I always used to prefer Damian: Peter Damian was the first usage of it I ever saw. And then, surprisingly, two of my gay friends - in different countries and of very different ages - suddenly had partners named Damien. And I am so grateful to those men for loving my friends that I've totally warmed up to their spelling! Though, if I were to use the name, I'd still stay with Damian.

Not good; gives me demonic child or badboy vibes. Damien is a little better.

Damian is one of my absolute favorite boy names and I find it soooooo handsome. One combination I love is Damian Kai.

I prefer Damian over Damien personally. The name itself is kinda neutral for me. Every Damian I’ve met has been nice too, so despite The Omen, the name is generally pretty good in my book lol

I used to not be big on it because of The Omen. I felt like maybe it had been ruined. Then I started seeing more little Damians, and then I started reading more Batman comics and learned Bruce Wayne's son, the newest Robin, was named Damian and I wound up liking the character. Basically it grew on me. I actually just recently added it to my PNL.

So, yeah, I like it.
