945.0. "How do you feel about Orion" by RUFUSL::JANOWSKI (CitizensAgainstContinentalDrift) Fri May 06 1994 16:36

    Does anyone have any thoughts on the name Orion?
    I've never known anyone with this name and my
    wife and I are kinda concidering it for out
    first boy. 
    
    Any input positive or negative is appreciated.

    Orion...well I have never heard of anyone using that as a name.
    Isn't there a movie production company called Orion?  I think that
    is the first thing I thought of.   There is a constellation named
    Orion, too.
    
    Although it is unique, I doubt there will be a problem with spelling
    or pronounciation - two things most unique name share.  Would you 
    nickname the child?  What would it be?  
    
    First thinking about it, Orion sounds like a very strong name - like
    something from Greek mythology.  I don't know the history of the name, 
    but it might be something to look into to help determine how you feel
    about it.  Personally, I prefer names a little more common.  For
    example, I am thinking about Spencer for a boy's name.  Haven't totally
    ruled it in or out - still thinking about it.
    
    Best of luck,
    
    Chris

    I like it, but I think he'll have to fight the "O'Ryan" spelling all
    his life.
