My son is named Damien (we went with the more English-style with the "e") and got a lot of "Omen" comments at first. And to be honest, I was largely unaware that a character from such a terrible movie series has such a connotation, particularly with the 50+ age group. Younger people seem not to connect the name with the movie as much.
No regrets at all, however. We are a non-religious family, so it is actually a little humourous to have a spawn of satan namesake running around, although he's actually such a gentle and friendly little kid. I even thought of making a short movie using our dogs (black and tan miniature dachshunds) as stand-ins to mimic some of the stupid scenes from the movie. One day...
