Really?

[Parkep]

So my BF and his family came up with a name if i get pregnant with a boy...
Thor!
We are both really tall 6 feet plus. And he will more than likely be blonde.
So im wondering what you ladies (and men) think of this name.
he is dead set on it

 

[ThatGirl]

dont like it sorry

 

[princess_bump]

i don't like it either honey, sorry xx

 

[Gunner's Mama]

I'm not fond of the name...if they are Scandanavian I think they could come up with a better name.

 

[letia659]

I dont like it sorry

 

[Amygdala]

How about Thorsten as a compromise?

 

[DizzyMoo]

oh no i don't like it sorry hun x

I like it! But I'm Icelandic so I'm used to it. I also like Thorsten, it's my fathers name .. well, Þorsteinn, but it's the same origin. I'm a big fan of Norse mythology and love the names from it It would really suit him if he's tall and blonde

 

[Parkep]

hey ladies i think im on the same wave length as you....
Thorsten is nice but i dont think its for me
i guess i gotta start convincing him now that
its not a good name lol

 

[Amanda87]

Don't do it!

Does your OH like it because it sounds "cool" and "macho?"

I think kids and people would make fun of him growing up...

 

[Parkep]

i think your right! maybe we can come to some kinda agreement.. like
MAYBE middle name hahah. maybe!!!!
I dont want my poor (6ft) boy to be bugged cuz of his name
thats not fair!

 

[MrsP]

Not for me x

LOL my OH suggested Thor for our boy...he said well no f**ker would mess with a kid called Thor would they?

Lets just say not being Norse I vetoed that one.

 

[New2Bumps]

My initial thought was 'Oh my God' so that's not really a positive.

I think Thad is similar but much more popular.

I think Thor I think Giant!!!

Good luck convincing him!

Thor is the god of thunder and here he is, on his way to bash some trolls with his hammer

I think it may cause problems for your son as he grows up. xx

 

[Parkep]

i agree it will cause problems.

I dont want to be the cause of teasing,
i also dont want to regret the name either

 

[Amanda87]

Yeah, it'd be hard for him to be taken seriously as a professional in the workplace as an adult, too.

I think this name will only work if he turns out to be a lead singer in a death-metal band.

Offer to get your husband a goldfish and name it Thor! Hehe.
