Prefer Odin spelling but it's not really my cup of tea to be honest. It's quite a big name for somebody to pull off!

TimeToDrinkDecaff · 23/05/2018 20:25

It’s...hmm...I quite liked it until I tried shortening to get Odi which is unquote close to odious. So on balance it’d be a no from me, sorry.

Orson maybe?

TimeToDrinkDecaff · 23/05/2018 20:26

BertrandRussell · 23/05/2018 20:57

Nope. Not Thor or Jehovah either.

DramaAlpaca · 23/05/2018 20:58

No, not good.

NotUmbongoUnchained · 23/05/2018 20:58

Me and my brothers are named after Norse gods. We get a lot of comments but not negative ones!

FawnDrench · 23/05/2018 21:04

No.

bridgetreilly · 23/05/2018 22:15
