Torin/Thorin...!

I really like Torin. DH has vetoed it but suggested Thorin... He's now decided it's his favourite name. I do like it although bit iffy about LOTR connection. Yes it's very Tolkien but apparently a name in it's own right.... Hmm

A boy or a girls name?

I only like Torin for a girl and am not keen on Thorin at all

I'm scanning this board for name inspo, reading all the titles to DH and he wants to add it to our list, can't say I'm planning on user a veto either. It's a nice sounding name, sounds Celtic, I like it.

I love Torin for a boy, not so keen on Thorin. It sounds a bit too much like Thorn in my accent.

Torin is a great name. I like it for a boy.

Thorin is too Hobbity.

Hmm I had always assumed they were both pronounced Torin and it was a silent 'h'. Oops. Blush Much prefer Torin to Thorin in that case.

Agree with pp that Thorin has a very much hobbit feel to it. So, if it were between the two, I'd say go for Torin.
Here's some other name suggestions that are similar in style imo that maybe you and DH could agree on:
Corbin
Lucian
Cassian
Kiel
Toben / Tobin

I too prefer Torin. Thorin not really a character you'd like to name your child after!

Is Torben any good?

RaininSummer · 23/04/2018 13:06

Not about those names at all - make me think of the dwarves in the Hobbit. Maybe not a bad thing if you like them.

BringMeCoffeePlease · 23/04/2018 13:21

Both are awful.

ChiragGoopta · 23/04/2018 20:02

Like Corbin too but probably wouldn't because of Jeremy.

I much prefer Torin over Thorin tbh... Also really like Theo but there's another one in the (distant) family.

How about Tobin? Like the actor Tobin Bell.

Bombardier25966 · 23/04/2018 20:08

It sounds like a drug.

Thorkell or Torquil?
