It’s not everyone’s cup of tea, but it’s fine. You’ll get torn apart on here though, mn is weird about even slightly unusual baby names. I had the misfortune once to mention I named my baby Sonny. I don’t even get what’s so unusual about Sonny, he was named for his father and grandfather. I had nearly 4 pages of people literally swearing at me, calling me names, and telling me that sonny wasn’t even a proper name 🤷🏼‍♀️😂

So there's no drip feed I'm in the Uk, white British. No interesting heritage. Hubby is determined on Thor I can't decide if I like it

my gran used to say

The god of war rode out one day upon his favourite filly
“I’m Thor” he cried, the horse replied, “you forgot your thaddle silly” probably from an old comedian

there are kids called things like Apollo and Seth. I met an Agamemnon once. Mem for short. Probably not as much of a burden as it would’ve been 20 years ago

Sorry not a fan. It's a very popular name for XL bully dogs (several which have killed) which has given me a negative vibe from it.

Depends which country you are in and heritage you have. If you are British then it’s a stupid name for your child, cute name for cat although a little overused (I no 3 Thor cats)

For a kitten? Sure

For a human? Don't be ridiculous

we use it in Denmark. It’s not an awful name it’s just not English. But MN cannot handle anything slightly different.
it’s pronounced Tor

Awful name, sorry

Puffypuffin · 05/01/2025 20:41

Nope. Sorry.
