WDYT of Oren?

I like it alot but could never use it because my husband has a good friend whose last name is Oren and that sort of thing always ruins names for him, if he already knows someone with them I mean.

like the name, we actually considered it a while ago but with a last name that sounds similar to it its a no go for us.

[freezemyazaleas.livejournal.com]

For a boy or girl?

[miss-tee.livejournal.com]

boy

[freezemyazaleas.livejournal.com]

I like it better on a girl. I know both boys and girls with the name.

[ladydiddymus.livejournal.com]

reminds me of the neverending story :/

[miss-tee.livejournal.com]

Is there someone named Oren in that?

[dustkitty.livejournal.com]

No, it's an item. That was my first thought, too. On the other hand, I love arcane knicknacks and Neverending Story, so I don't mind.

There's also Auron in Final Fantasy X, but that's another positive association for me, if terribly geeky. (Not that Neverending Story isn't a little geeky.)

[miss-tee.livejournal.com]

ha ha perhaps my love for it originates from the most geeky of all: Flight of Dragons. I always had a crush on Sir Orin Neville Smythe.

[ladydiddymus.livejournal.com]

no but the story kind of revolves around this pendant that one of the main character carries and its called Auryn and it just sounds really similar to me. if you didn't see it written it seems like it could be mistaken easily.

[miss-tee.livejournal.com]

ah I remember now so it's like aw-rehn vs oh-rehn then.

[anapology.livejournal.com]

Love it.
I asked this here once, got really bad comments!

[miss-tee.livejournal.com]

really??
I don't remember that; but I would have given it good comments.

Oren, at first glance, looked like Oreo. Haha, maybe I'm hungry. And then when I saw it for what it was, I thought of the neverending story. That said, it's nice sounding. I don't know if I'd choose it personally. I like Orien better, and it's pretty similar.

[aballard23.livejournal.com]

I thought Oreo immediately.

I prefer Orion, for a spelling. Lol.

[icebyrd67.livejournal.com]

my godson is named oren. his sister is Oriana.

[dustkitty.livejournal.com]

Please tell me they're twins.

[icebyrd67.livejournal.com]

nope. Ori came first, a year later Oren

[opal-kitten.livejournal.com]

I actually know an Orren, he was my boss. Male, of course. I actually like the name.

[florallove.livejournal.com]

the preacher at my church's name is Oran.
I'm not a huge fan of it.

[aballard23.livejournal.com]

I don't really like it.

I like Orion, though.

[miss-tee.livejournal.com]

I like Orion too.

Oren

I like Hebrew names for trees, so yes. Also, Orens are good people here.

Some other ones:

- Oren: pine
- Erez: cedar
- Alon: oak (Alona is the feminine)
- Ilan: tree (Ilanit is the feminine)

Re: Oren

[miss-tee.livejournal.com]

My Hebrew name is Ilana.

I also love trees and tree names :)

Re: Oren

[crossingthesea.livejournal.com]

Nice. :)

[seksimaggie.livejournal.com]

I have a friend named Oran and I think I like that spelling better.

[bluedano.livejournal.com]

I like it. It's a good Hebrew name. My husband hates it though and if we find out this baby is a boy he's already vetoed it. :(
