Born On 6/6/06: Damien

from Sky News

ENGLAND - A baby born on the 6/6/06 - and weighing 6lb 6oz - has been named Damien after horror film The Omen.

Proud mum Suzanne Cooper said she was hoping to give birth on June 6 so she could name her son after the infamous young Antichrist in the cult 1976 film.

Not only was the baby born on the apocalyptic day, but he was born six days after his mother was induced.

"The Omen is one of our favourite films and that's why I was keeping my legs crossed for a birth on the 6th," Suzanne, 36, told The Sun.

"It does seem a bit weird but he's a perfect baby - nothing at all like Damien in The Omen."

Husband Michael, 35, of Cleveland, Somerset, said: "It took a bit of persuasion for Suzanne to call him Damien but it seems fitting considering the date."

A remake of The Omen was released on Tuesday. The film, often voted the scariest movie ever, tells the story a young boy who embarks on mission to destroy the world. He has the birthmark '666' - the number of The Beast - on his scalp.
