Thorin

[JumpingJackSprat]

I saw the hobbit and thought as a standalone name this is nice - unusual, sounds nice, looks nice written down. What does everyone else think?

[ROARmeow]

Like it :)

Might get a few faces at first, but it's good.

[Belize]

Oakenshield!

I do like it actually.

[dementedma]

I actually like it for a boy, but if he's a little un you might get some dwarf-related teasing.

[ViviDeBeauvoir]

I love it. I may be biased as Ds2 has a very similar name

[caramelwaffle]

I like it.

It is a "soft" sounding name.

[Astarael]

Totally going on my list for dc #2

[LCHammer]

Like Soren with a lisp.

[Ruprekt]

Sounds like a medication.......

[beedles17]

oh god no!

[coffeeinbed]

You cannot possibly name a baby after a dwarf from a book.
Wake up!

[pictish]

No!
Too contrived and obvious, sorry. It's from The Hobbit, and belongs there.

[ViviDeBeauvoir]

Is it not pronounced with a 'T' sound rather than a 'Th' sound?

[Ememem84]

I love it. And was on my just if hypothetical future baby names for our hypothetical child. Dh liked it. But then found out my godson us called Aragon. He now thinks family is a bit nuts. Too late....

[serin]

Is it freezing lad?

Nah, it's Thorin.

[pictish]

Torrin is a Scots name. It is Gaelic for 'little hill'.
Very nice it is too.

Much better than using a blockbuster movie name surely?

[willyoulistentome]

Just don't! !. You may as well call it chewbacca

[Ruprekt]

Now Chewbacca I like......

Torin is a child at my school.....brother is Tathan. Any good?

[sonlypuppyfat]

These threads are always good for a laugh.

[Selks]

It sounds like some thyroid medication.

[Xfirefly]

I liked it...DP looked at me in horror when I suggested it.

[crumpet]

People will snigger. Perhaps not you your or Thorin's face. After that they will then get used to the name I guess. But still have it in their back pocket as a conversational gambit "you'll never guess the name of a baby/person I know..."

[crumpet]

And I speak as a lover of all things Tolkien

[gruffalosfriend]

I like Torin (pronounced Tor-in).
