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

I know one Tor. He's norwegian. In English, go for Thor instead

Tor is lovely

I know the Pennines well and like Tor both as a rocky outcrop and a cool boy’s name Smile

Both Tor and Mads sound like shortened girls names to me - for Victoria and Madeleine.

I thought of Glastonbury Tor as pp has already mentioned! It's lovely there. But I digress!

I didn't know about the dark web thingy tbh, but I'm definitely old and out of touch.

I'm not sure how I feel about the name; trying to imagine if someone introduced themselves as Tor... My first thought is that imagine a few people would wonder if they'd misheard Thor, then I'd think of the word Tore. Imagine he would end up spelling it out a lot, but that's probably ok as it's only three letters Grin.

The more I say it to myself, the more I don't like the sound of it very much. Weirdly I like it better written down iyswim.

So, I'd probably vote no, but then it's not my baby! Definitely not appalling.
