Is tord a good name for my baby?

[Maddimonster]

I wanted to name my newborn after My grandad and his name was tord but im not sure if thats a good name for a baby

Without being insulting it sounds a bit too like Turd for me. Sorry.

I fear it becoming turd 💩

Another vote for turd here :(

Turd. Sorry, I really don't mean to be disrespectful about your grandad

Could you maybe make it Tor? Or did he have a middle name?

Sorry yes it just sounds like Turd.

What about Thor?

yup, he'll be turd throughout his entire school life I'm afraid.

I've never heard that name before.

Are you in the UK? I can't see it going down very among his friends

Of course it's turd, it doesn't even have a capital letter to establish it as a name (at least it doesn't in your op)

I'm really sorry but I saw Turd at first too. Could you use Tord as a middle name?

Nope- he'll become Turd very quickly.

Agree with the above, sorry How about Torin?

What about Thorsten? No, I agree, you cannot call a child Tord in this country. His school days will be shit if you do.

Yep, he'd be turd by the time he reaches reception age and for evermore after that.

How about Torsten or Todd? Or did your grandad have a middle name you could use instead?

It's lovely to honour your granddad but with your child's wellbeing in mind, perhaps a modified version:
Tor/Torr
Thor
Tod
Tom
Rod
Ruary (shorten to roar/roared?)
Lord (or maybe not)

No no no. It sounds like Turd. In fact, in a flat Dublin accent bird is pronounced bord. so.......... for me it'd be a no.

I like the suggestions of Todd or Torsten though!

" you cannot call a child Tord in this country. His school days will be shit if you do."

lol

Really?

Genuinely thought this was a joke thread (& my kids have got fairly 'out there' names) until I googled it. Definitely Not Tord - as everyone else has already said! - but Tor and Thor are both known derivatives so the sentiment would still be there?

Torin?

It's not a proper name, is it? Surely you can think of something better.....

I'd put it in the middle name spot, personally.

It's very much like turd :( xx
