I agree... both look wrong (Demian looks REALLY wrong). Damian is my favourite.

Of the two, I voted for Damien. But in retrospect, I guess it depends on the pronunciation you want.

If you want his name to be pronounced DAY-mee-an, then I'd go with Damien or Damian.

If you want it pronounced DEE-mee-an, I'd go with Demian. (If DEE-mee-an is your style, have you considered Dmitry or Dimitry? Dima, pronounced DEEma, is a common nickname for this name.)

Best wishes!

Out of these two? DEFINITELY Damien!!! Demian looks like demon. That's just not a good variation, KWIM? It also couldn't possibly be pronounced "Damian." It'd be more along the lines of DEM-ee-an or DEEM-ee-an. I think you can safely rule that one out. ;)

I actually prefer Damian, if you're open to suggestions. You may also like Dorian.

Although strongly prefer Damian over Damien or Demian, I voted for Damien just to cast a vote against Demian. Demian looks very wrong to me--more like de-MEE-an than DAY-me-an.
