Comments for the name Damien

Famous Bearer: Damien Rice. He sings a beautiful song called "The Blewer's Daughter".

Damien Vryce is a central character in CS Friedman's Coldfire trilogy.

Damien is the son of Satan in "The Omen" movies.

Father Damien (1840-89) was a Catholic missionary who dedicated his life in service to the lepers of Molokai in Hawaii. In 2000, there was a film about his life, "Molokai: The Story of Father Damien".

A very good, strong name. I think I'll name my son that, when or if I have one.

I have to say, despite this name's negative connotations (thanks to several sources, not least The Omen, it conjuers up images of evil), I still like it. Is that disturbing?

I have always been disappointed by the negative images and feelings that "The Omen" has applied to this name. I have a very good friend named Damien, and I hate it when people look at him weird and ask him if he's the son of Satan. I think this is a very nice name, and it's a shame that people feel like they have to hate it because of its use in a silly horror movie.

This is my favorite spelling of my favorite name! :)

Damian is not the name of the devil, Lucifer is the name of the devil. The name Damian was just used as a name in a horror flick, just like the name Jason was but that never stopped the usage of the name Jason. I read somewhere that St. Damian was the patron saint of physicians.

Damien Leith won Australian Idol 2006.

I really love this name despite most negative impressions. My pastor is named Damian, although I prefer the Damien spelling.

I prefer this spelling over 'Damian', but I guess it doesn't matter as they both sound so great.

Damien is the name of Satan's son in the T.V. show, South Park.

I thought it was Irish!

Damien is a friend of Zoey in the House of Night series.
