I love the name my SO and I have picked out, but our families are giving us mixed reviews. So, I'm asking what you people think of it: Alaric Daymon Von W.
It's NMS but I don't think it's a bad name at all. Different but not too out there where you have never heard of it.
As long as you two love it, don't worry about other opinions, especially from family. It's not like they will love the baby any less because of a name. My sister told me to never ask opinions of others on a name you have decided. Some of our family members didn't like our name at first but now they love it.
It's nms and I've never seen that spelling of Damon. If it's not a family name I'd stick to the traditional spelling, otherwise it's just jumping on the trendy bandwagon.
Obviously I heard of Alaric from vampire diaries. It is a different name but it's not a horrible name to me. I prefer Damon spelled wothout an Y. I personally find the Y unnecessary and do not like when I see added letters.
I love Alaric and Damon spelled properly. I don't know if you know or care but The Vampire Diaries has two characters, Alaric and Damon, who are best friends. If you don't like pop culture references that might be relevant to you.
My son's name is Alaric. And I was just recently told of this whole Vampire Diaries thing, and that they pronounce the name "ah-LAR-ik" in it. It's properly pronounced "AL-ah-rik". So, obviously I think it's a great name, as long as you're using the traditional, correct pronunciation.
Thanks for the feed back. The"Daymon", is in honor of my grandfather, spelled exactly so. Not "Damon". He'd have been 95 this year, so, trendy it is definitely not.
