[Opinions] Damian gmv
in reply to a message by Decision point
I've known guys with both names and I just prefer Damian. It sounds friendlier. The Damian I knew said he did endure some "Omen" based reactions, but it was more funny to him than oppressive. I mean obviously he's not the devil? So only an idiot would react very negatively to the person because of that. I think Damian goes perfectly with the brother's name (I think I recall it from your earlier posts - great name). Also my favorite name is Damon and Damian's pretty close to that so I'm partial to it for that reason too.
Alden is "classy" - because it is surnamey. I might be influenced by the fact that the Alden I knew came from a rich family and it was a family name for them. I like the name and it is not pretentious and it's easy to say, but it comes off a little aloof and quiet IMO. I vaguely think of Walden (Thoreau). So I vote for Damian.
