Orion as a boy's name...thoughts?
Hey ladies. My DH really likes this name and I am on the fence. Just wanted to hear your thoughts either in writing or in a poll. Thanks!

Re: Orion as a boy's name...thoughts?
i voted hellz no...i wouldn't have used those words, they are yours  but basically yeah, that's how i feel!
I actually have a friend who just named her son that...she has an off kilter name as well so I guess it makes sense...
but it's just not something I'd ever think of as a name.

Ive only heard it once, with a boy at my job. He was named after his dad and as he got older they called him by his middle name, Michael.

Crashing-
DH is head over heels in love with this name. He's talked about naming our  that if we ever have one. I personally am not a fan, but I compromised and said if we ever do have a boy, we'll shorten it and name his Rion (pronounced as Ryan). Maybe that could be an alternative for you and your DH?

Re: Orion as a boy's name...thoughts?
My DD has a little boy in her daycare with this name. I've never heard it before, it seems most of the kids call him Ryan or Brian instead. I love nicknames, but I wouldn't want my LO being called the wrong name. I'm laura and can't stand when people mistake my name for Lauren.

Re: Orion as a boy's name...thoughts?
I voted that I didn't really like it but that was because I was reading your unedited title as "Orior" and I was like WTH kind of name is that 
I LOVE Orion! Makes me think of Orion's belt and it feels very "cosmic"!

Don't like it. I just think of the constellation when I hear it.

Re: Orion as a boy's name...thoughts?
Thanks for all of your opinions. No need to be sorry if you don't like it, that's why I asked! As I said my DH really likes it a lot and I like the idea of it (differen't/nature like) but not sure if I like it for my babies name hehe. Its always interesting to hear other peoples take on a name
