I love the name
Damon, it's one of my tippy top faves, and am sad about all the negative associations people have.
Also sad that it's getting a little dated.
I associate
Damian more with "evil" characters, because of The Omen. But I met a
Damian once and he was cool, I liked his name alright. It seemed sorta "edgy" to me, because he was born around 1980 when the Omen association was stronger than it is now.
I like
Damon because I like the sound of it, it doesn't remind me of demon - but also because of the story of
Damon and Pythias.
