Registering 4 week old baby tomorrow and haven't decided on name-HELP

We are registering our baby boy tomorrow and cannot decide on a name! We want something that goes well with our other children (daughters are Ava and Freyja) but my husband is suggesting ridiculous names like thor (!) Whereas I like more traditional names like Jacob and Arthur. Help please?!

Going on the Scandinavian theme, my Anglo-Swedish friend is "Mattias" (Ma-TEE-as), which is nice.

His very occasional NN is "Matti", but rarely used now.

Any good?

Ava, Freyja and Mattias.
Mattias Russ

I like Thor. A friend called his son Thor with no negative repercussions.

What about Torben? Can be shortened to Tor.

If you like vikingy names how about Ivan or Ivar?

Thorran/Torran is a variant of Thor as is Thorsten/Torsten

Solvi
Soren

My cousins name is Thorus, and he's the coolest guy ever. Everyone calls him Thor and it suits him perfectly. Very strong name.

I quite like Magnus Russ. It has a lilting quality to it. Emphasis is on Mag rather than nus when I say it, so it sounds fine when I say it out loud.

Reschedule no need to rush into a name he'll be stuck with it for life

Rockaby · 09/05/2017 20:02

Love suggestion of Magnus.

Merrylegs · 09/05/2017 19:59

Magnus is kind of Viking-y but traditional.

WhatKatyDidnt · 09/05/2017 19:52

Reschedule the appointment!

Then try calling him Jacob, Arthur and Thor for one day each. See what feels most natural.
