Torben?

Hello!

Expecting dc2 in April and currently have 1 boys name on the list that dh loves - I like it but I'm only half sold. Tonight he suggested Torben. I wasn't sure at first but the more I say it the more I like it.

We like fairly uncommon names that can be shortened to more well known nicknames so the child has an option if they want a shortened/less unusual name. Our DDs name is like this and I guess in this case he would have the option of Toby or Ben?

What are your thoughts? Do you know any?

It makes me want to sing ‘oh Jeremy Torben’. But I’m juvenile.

I've not heard it before but I like it.

Is it an actual name though? Like Norwegian or similar?
