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...  |
Ya, despite the different spelling we got the Omen reference too which of course I found awesome because I am a horror buff. Of course the religious nuts connected his middle name to Anton LeVey's middle name too, even though it is a different spelling and came from a ridiculous TV show. My son is a funny gentle kid as well. Just send the religious zealots here.
