I’m due with #3 next week and my husband and I will likely end up using [name_m]Damian[/name_m]/[name_m]Damien[/name_m] (because I couldn’t convince him on [name_u]Dorian[/name_u]). I strongly prefer the [name_m]Damien[/name_m] spelling - it looks much more elegant and softer and sophisticated. [name_m]Damian[/name_m] is harsher to me.
That said, I recognize [name_m]Damian[/name_m] is the default spelling. If we choose [name_m]Damien[/name_m], will we be subjecting our son to a lifetime of correcting people? [name_m]Damien[/name_m] was #264, so it’s not like it’s an unheard of spelling.
I also feel that [name_m]Damien[/name_m] meshes better with my other two kids’ names - [name_f]Adeline[/name_f] and [name_m]Silas[/name_m].
Am I crazy that [name_m]Damian[/name_m] seems, to me, so much different in vibe than [name_m]Damien[/name_m]? [name_m]Will[/name_m] we forever have to correct people on the spelling? I already need to spell [name_f]Adeline[/name_f] and [name_m]Silas[/name_m] for people, so I’m somewhat used to it…
Would love to hear your thoughts!
