 The popularity of the name Damien:

Damien used to be on the popularity charts in 1948 and remained in the same position till 1961. Damien is not very popular with “a”, but it started to be ranked among the top 200 most favorite names in the United States.

In 1975, when the film named Omen, characterizes a child named Damien as Evil, everyone expected Damien to lose its usage. Unexpectedly, it did not affect American parents’ thoughts and they continued to choose it for their baby boys. In fact, Damien is the name of good people like Father Damien who devoted his life to helping the poor and to serving a Leper colony in Hawaii.

For the past four decades, Damien was recorded more than 50,000 times in the SSA Database.

I'm just SICK of People associating the name with the Devil and the Horror movie The Omen, which ever way it may be spelled, I think that the integrity of the name needs to be preserved and people need to look at those that have bared the name like Saint Damien, patron Saint of Hawaii for in'tance. When ever one hears Freddy they don't think Freddy Kruger! Just Grow up and leave fiction'to be fictitious. Damien is a great name

My Son is called Damien, since we live in Finland, here it is very unusual, as such he is very popular with other kids, i think partly because of his name. I think that the right name can make a big difference in a persons life, by the way he is sweet and harmless, a really nice boy. Peter Wilson (Espoo Finland)

I FEEL THAT SOME INDIVIDUALS NAME THEIR CHILD THIS BECAUSE THEY SIMPLY LOVE THE NAME, OR PERHAPS THEY ARE GREEK, WHICH IS WHERE THE NAME DAMIEN DERIVES FROM. THE OTHer'sANARIO MAY BE THAT THE PERSON OR PEOPLE THAT NANE THEIR CHILD DAMIEN MAY HAVE DABBELED In'tHE DARK SIDE AND THEY The'sELVES In'tHEIR OWN DEVIOUS MINDS MAY NON-CHRISTIAN SATANISTS SEARCHING FOR A WAY TO IMPOSE SOME AREA OF REBELLION. THEY USE THEIR OWN CHILD AS A WEAPON IN AN ATTEMPT TO PROVE SOMETHING THAT EXHISTS In'tHEIR OWN CRAZY MIND AND SICK WORLD, HAVING NO CONSIDERATION FOR WHAT THEIR OWN CHILD MAY HAVE TO GO THROUGH IN LIFE JUST BECAUSE THEY HAVE A n't CASE FOR A PARENT. UNFORTUn'tELY, I KNOW SOMEONE LIKE THAT WITH A VERY DARK SIDE AND IN VARIOUS WAYS HE HAS PROVEN n't TO BE A STABLE PERSON. I BELi've HE NAMED HIS SON DAMIEN FOR ALL THE WRONG REASONS. IF THIS BE THE CASE, HE MAY HAVE BITEN OFF MORE THAN HE CAN CHEW. I BELi've IT ALL DEPENDS ON A PERSON'S REASON OR MOTIVE FOR CHOOSING THIS NAME. THOSE WHO HAVE THIS NAME, AND LIKE THEIR NAME, AND HAVE HAD NO PROBLEMS In'tHEIR OWN LIVES BECAUSE OF THEIR NAME BEING DAMIEN, ARE FORTUn'tE AND MORE POWER TO YOU. On'tHE OTHER HAND, I AM SURE THERE ARE CHILDREN AND ADULTS WITH THIS NAME THAT WOULD n't AGREE WITH YOU AND EVEN ARGUE THE POINT THAT THE NAME DAMIEN MAY HAVE CAUSED THEM SOME OBSTICALS AND PROBLEMS THEY COULD HAVE DONE WITHOUT. THIS ESPICALLY APPLIES TO BOYS WHO MAY n't QUITE FIT In'tO OR ARE OUTCASTS IN SOCIETY TO BEGIN WITH FOR WHATEVER THE REASON. THEY MAY HAVE HAD PROBLEMS REGARDLESS OF THEIR DAMIEN NAME, BUT THE NAME MAY CAUSE THEM EVEN MORE PROBLEMS TEASING, AND OBSTICALS In'tHEIR LIFE. SURE THAT ASSOCIATE THE NAME WITH THE MOVIE ARE IGNORANT, BUT THE FACT REMAINS THAT IT OFTEN IS ASSOCIATED WITH THE MOVIE AND AN EVIL CHILD. THERE ARE PLENTY OF NICE NAMES TO CHOOSE FROM. WHY GAMBLE WITH YOUR CHILDS LIFE❤️

My son is 6 years old and we named him Damien Edward. I always loved the name because its n't "cutesy" like say Tyler. Its something that is nice for a child and something a man can grow into. I just can't picture an 80 year old Tyler or Cody or Brayden. Anyway, I did research on'the name, and tho it is Greek, it also has ties to Irish (which I am). And It'sounds good with Edward which is what his middle name would have been reguardless of his first cuz it was my dads who died when I was 16.

I love the name Damien! Just because they used the name in a movie does n't mean'that any child will turn out to be an evil brat.

I had a crush on a little "Damien" in my class, like the way It'sounds, and have wanted to give my son'this name ever'since. I was worried about the "devil" rumor, but I have been reading about the church of San Damiano, and have also heard that it comes from the'same word as "demon" which really means "spirit," and has a mistakenly evil conn'tation.

I had the usual movie jokes as a child but I always enjoyed the fact that I was the only Damien in'the'school and had a special name that was n't wierd like some altern'tive parents used. My mother once gave me a special card that had the meaning of my name on it and it went something like this: Damian, Damien Greek meaning "divine power" Damien is full of zeal, skill and energy. he'stands out in a crowd and often has many admirers. He can occasianally lose patience with othe's for lacking his motivation and self confidence. Life is for living, which he takes to enthusiastically.

My son is named Damien and he was born on christmas day. Some family members were ignorant to the actual meaning, and just associated it with the omen. So here i am in labor christmas eve and they are trying to tell me to change my sons name. The name that i have had picked out for months, because of the day god chose to bring my son in'to this world, and the'stereotyping that goes along with having that name. I think Damien is an excellent name and am very proud to call my son by this name. I beli've coosing your childs name is a choice for you and your partner and your reasoning for that name'should be the ultimate deciding factor, n't other peoples judgemental opinions.

I love the name Damien although when you tell someone You're thinking of naming your child that, you might get the'same looks I did. Everyone remembers Damien'the creepy kid in'the Omen. For people who have asked about the'storyline It's "set in Fulham, England, tells of the childhood of Damien'thorn, who was switched at birth with the'supposedly stillborn child of a wealthy American diplomat with only the husband's knowledge, in order to keep it from affecting his wife. Damien's family is unaware that he is actually the offspring of Satan and destined to become the Antichrist." But I agree with the comment left by someone else before, just because you name your kid Damien doesn't mean he's the antichrist or spawn of satan. It's just a name used by a movie. They could have just as soon named the boy in'the movie David or Jon.

Sorry, but after "The Omen" I wouldn't dare to call my child that (neither Damian or Damien). Obviously, I wouldn't worry about my son being a demon child or an'thing, but there is just far too much negativity associated with that name. Apart from that, I don't like that name at all.

I think it is a nice and unique name although many people pull faces when she tells him his name and again refer to the omen but damian is also the name of a patron saint and the'singer damien rice is also famous for his relaxing music and doesn't seem devilish to me! so if your thinking about that name go or it! some people find faults with any name but in'the end people will get over it and if it is the name you like thats all that counts.

I'm a Charles, and think It's kinda cool the name was made popular by the "Child's Play" movies, as in Charles Lee Ray the deranged goofball who, by means of voodoo, transmutes his soul into the murderous doll Chucky. Get real, It's only a movie that, in'the course of It's sequels, has become a horror camp cult classic. Yes, I like fI'ms like this but I'm by no means a whack job. Heck, better I spend my time watching fI'ms and reading the novelizations of 'em rather than be on'the'streets causing trouble. Whenever'someone asks if I'm the guy from the movie I usually get a "chuckle" out of it and, depending on'the context of the'situation, may or may n't say that I am ... all in good fun.

I love the name Damien -- It's masculine and strong, and anyone who dislikes It'solely because some ridiculous movie character had the'same name Isn't worth a moment of your time. Might as well shy away from names like Carrie, Freddy, and Jason as well. My uncle's name is Adolf and he's gotten grief all his life for sharing Hitler's name... but at least that was a real person, n't some imaginary evil from a MOVIE. Here's to more Damians/Damiens in'the world!

I absolutely love the name Damien. It's my boyfriend's name and I think that our names sound very nice together: Damien and Olivia. For some reason when I tell people his name they seem to think that he is African American...but I have no idea where that n'tion came from. It is a very strong and attractive name, although, like all people with that name there comes the'stupid "son of the devil" association; needless to say many othe's tell me that they love the name. They're just jealous that their parents didn't think of it for them :)

My 6 yr.old son's name is Damien. People do tend to mispell it but that's o.k. What gets annoying is the'sigh we here when we mention his name'some people look at us funny or ask us if we know that Damien's Satan's son. No! Damien is my sweet,loving boy. i've only heard of one other person with the'same name and spelled the'same here in Germany (we're sationed here).

my sons name is Damien,who just turned one! we were at a party one day and we meet this priest, and asked us why we decieded to name our son Damien. My husband and i looked at each other like here where go! wellmy husband said that hes always loved that name'since he was a teenager, n't cause of any movie. So anyway the priest started to tell us a story about the REAL orgin of the name Damien, here he was a healer who helped children, a saint! this was straight out the priest mouth, so go ahead with saying its a devils name, cause they all wrong,look it up Damien on'the intern't, ur self its a pretty good story.

People need to quIt'stereo typing the name Damien...its plain ignorant and shows your lack of intelligence....basing a decision or oppinion by something you saw in a movie is retarded....Its just a movie....and to n't name a child damien just because stupid people will think of Demons or whatever just shows that you let other people control your life...do what you want❤️ be who you want❤️ and name your kid whatever you want❤️....cant make everyone happy, and ther's no law again't offending uneducated people

As a magician I find that people often'think that the name Damien means demon, devil, antichrist...because of the Omen movies starring Gregory Peck and Leigh Remick. It's amazing how hollywood influences us and we end up believing something that is totally fictious. Personally I like the name Damien and see n'thing wrong with it whatsoever. Espeically knowing that it means sweet & harmless.

My son is being born on'the 3rd of November 2020. I have named him Damean. Since then I really see how ignorant people are. First thing they say " OH no... That movie!! First, it is just a movie dumb@$$ !! And second, if it bothe's you so much, at least remember the name of the movie. What few people even bother to find out is that the name Damien is of Greek origin, Means to tame or subdue, and is one of the'strongest names !!

I'm 5months pregnant and naming my baby boy Damian regardless of what people say. Everyone is telling me n't to because it means the devil or the devils son. I actually looked it up and It's Greek and the name of a Christian man'that was martyred with his twin brother. It means "watcher" or "to tame." So if anyone is having second thoughts...DOn't!

Hi I am 7 months pregnant, with a boy and my husband and I are having a hard time deciding on a name. My husband really likes Damian, but everytime I'mention'the name people give me a weird look and say doesn't that mean'the devils son❤️❤️ I am just afraid that my son will be teased for having the name Damian, but after reading this I can see there are a lot of Damian's out there that love their name. I'm still unsure about the whole thing, but that is the only name that really sticks out in my head when I think of my baby to be. .

The name DAMIEN/DAMIAN, however you wish to spell it, is strong, sexy and smart. It has a unique richness and quality that'simply commands your attention in contrast to so many other common names. And to those who are afraid of the name and associate it with demons. I would say that if you beli've the existence of demons and hell, then mind as well beli've that the plan't earth is flat or if you look up in'the'sky you might see Pegasus flying! Cheers!

I chose this spelling of the name because It's origins mean leader and strong. As it turns out, after 8 years Damien is gifted, loving, a watchful older brother, a child who is self-assured and likes speaking to adults.
