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?!

If he likes Thor, what about Torquil/Torcuil. It apparently means Thor's cauldron... :)

Magnus Russ is great (Magnus is a great name). What about Mungo Russ?
Or Peregrine Russ? Julius Russ?

Ivan

(Totally pinching from Vikings show)

Sorry, that should have been Ivar

Erik, Alfred, Rasmus, Severin, Ingvar, Leif, Ulrik.

I personally really like Severin and Ulrik.

I know an Arthur whose nickname is Thor, if that would please both of you!

CricketRuntAndRashers · 09/05/2017 22:54

Or what about Siegfried?

My dh wanted Thor! I eventually burst into tears at how upset I was that ds 2 still didn't have a name and he gave in, sort of. We didn't come to a final decision until in the car to the registrar though.

Beowulf.

OK kidding. Thor is terrific but doesn't flow well with Russ (and you don't like it which is a worse obstacle).

Tobin?

lloydlf76 · 10/05/2017 04:38

I've just read the whole thread and was going to suggest Tobin. Only to find Octoberfarm best me to it lol

Tobias

29Palms · 10/05/2017 13:06

Tobin immediately makes me think of Peter Tobin the serial killer.

OP,

Did you and your DH manage to agree on something in time?!

Vickytargaryen87 · 10/05/2017 18:08

Thanks for all your suggestions, we ended up with maximus :)

Never seen gladiator!

Oh, definitely watch Gladiator, OP, it's a great film! And a great namesake for your little boy.

Vickytargaryen87 · 15/05/2017 18:23

To be honest, I liked max but wanted him to have a longer name and didn't like maxamillion or maxwell! But will definitely watch it :)
