Ananova:

A horror film fan gave birth to a 6lb 6oz baby on 6/6/06 - and called it Damien.

Suzanne Cooper named her baby after the devil child in the The Omen who was born on 6/6/66.

Special needs teacher Suzanne, 36, was induced for six days before Damien arrived at 6.59am, reports the Mirror.

She said: "We are overjoyed about the baby. The Omen is one of our favourite films and that's why I was keeping my legs crossed for a birth on the 6th.

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

Electrical engineer Mike added: "It was a devil of a birth - a bit of a horror show. Once she went into labour it was straightforward, but six days in hospital is a long time to wait.

"It took a fair bit of persuasion for Suzanne to let us call him Damien but it seems fitting considering the date."
