Tor

[Jooni]

Thoughts on Tor please (for a boy)? Not short for anything, just as is.

Didn't know about the dark web thing, something to think about thanks

I'd think you'd left the h out of Thor.

Or he was conceived at Glastonbury?

I assumed it was a girl (short for Victoria) when I read the thread title.

Tor? The god of tunder?

Sorry, silly Big Bang Theory reference!

I know a Tor who has one Norwegian parent.

I know one - his name has always seemed to 'work' to me (known him from childhood, adult now). Don't know him well enough to know if he's ever had issues, but no reason to think he has. I like it.

It's nice, Scandinavian feel.

It not only has a Scandinavian feel, it is Scandinavian, but I don't think it's so common these days. As long as you don't name the baby Tord not an unusual Scandinavian name but may be quite unfortunate if spelled wrong.

Norse God of thunder ⚡ just don't make him cross! Would you prefer Thor? Only to save you correcting people's spelling constantly. You might also like Casimir means destroyer of peace.

I know a Tor, early forties. His parents may be Scandinavian. Lovely name.

I'm less keen on Thor (unless you pronounce it like Tor).

I know a boy conceived on Dartmoor called Tor. He has brothers called Devon and Dart (the Dart is the river that runs through Dartmoor).

Weirdly I love all these names even though my own kids have common traditional royal names.

Thanks all. No, not at all keen on Thor weirdly!

I quite like it. It sounds strong and masculine. And is easy to spell and pronounce. What's not to like?

Love it!!!!

I like it.

Tor, a lovely name, very Swedish is origin.

Yogagirl are you sure you aren't 'yodagirl'?

Torr means a bare rocky hilltop in Celtic, I think it is, so quite a nice name. Think I'd put two rrs as one looks unfinished to me, me being used to Torr.

Much prefer Thor, but it comes to the same thing.

(PS ex half-Norwegian bf had a cat called Tor who was bonkers)

My BIL is Norwegian and Tor is quite common in Norway but is spelt Thor, it's actually how the Norwegians say Thor if that makes sense! My sister and hubby considered for their last (ended up being a girl) but they also like Mads, Stellan and a few other Norwegian names if you like the style!

Thanks for the suggestions. Torr is interesting and I do like Mads a lot but too close to DHs name!
