Opinions on the name?
What gender would you associate it with?

OP posts:

I know two cats and a teddy bear named Loki. The oldest cat is ten and predates the Marvel movies, but... still a cat's name.

Lochia? The blood you get post birth?

loki lord of misrule...thinks: asking for trouble literally!

I know a dog called Loki. Always up to mischief.

CallMeRachel · 24/09/2018 22:39

Umm...male.
Large, white, German Shepherd Grin

Great name for a dog 🐶

Trialsmum · 24/09/2018 22:22

Were not we’re 😡.

Trialsmum · 24/09/2018 22:22

Love it, but the mythology ruins it 😢. It’s still not as bad as the little girl I know who’s parents named her Isis (after the godess but she’s only 6 and ISIS we’re definitely common knowledge by then).

I really really wouldn’t for the reasons pp have listed... and to the pp that mentioned Steiner schools my cousin was at one and knew a Beowulf, a Gravity and a Tomé (pronounced Tom-ay, apparently). I very much hope those were all nicknames...

Bragi was all mine. Imagine my joy when Dean O'Gorman and Aidan Turner were cast in The Hobbit Grin

Cindersdonegood · 24/09/2018 22:12

@iklboo It was fab.
I did crush on Hodr and Bragi a little....

Thatstheendofmytether · 24/09/2018 22:04

Nope. Loki from mythology is not the 'misunderstood mischievous trickster' of the movies. It's like calling your child Lucifer exactly what I was thinking.

MaryandMichael · 24/09/2018 21:57

Reminds me of lota for washing your bits.

ViserionTheDragon · 24/09/2018 21:55

Agree that it's a cat's name. Don't do it!

iklboo · 24/09/2018 21:52

Did anyone ever watch The Almighty Johnson's? Loki was a prick. Though I loved that awful show

Me!! It was weirdly good in a WTF kind of way.

MissLadyM · 24/09/2018 21:51

🤣😂🤣

There is one in our reception year at school. I thought it was s joke when someone told me. Sadly not Sad

HotSauceCommittee · 24/09/2018 21:47

Lochia....

DragonMamma · 24/09/2018 21:46

I know lots of dogs called Loki. They are naughty dogs too...

Nightwatch999 · 24/09/2018 21:44

Thor's evil brother!

darkblu · 24/09/2018 21:37

Male name, Norse god as mentioned above, my sisters cat is Loki 😁
Would also go for Lachlan nn Loki

CantankerousCamel · 24/09/2018 21:35

Asking for trouble..

dinosaurkisses · 24/09/2018 21:32

“Most of the posters on this name forum are sheltered and uptight and will only tolerate traditional British names” OR maybe they just think if you’re going to use a name from another culture, do your homework and make sure you know it’s connotations?
