Torben?

[GlitterTit]

What are you thoughts? No Scandinavian links though apart from both of us being 10% genetically Scandinavian according to DNA test of that counts...

I like it.

Neither love it or hate it - it's inoffensive enough so use it if you like it!
(Probably not very helpful, sorry!)

I quite like it. Prefer Torin though.

I’m sorry but I don’t like it.

I prefer Torin too.

I wanted to call my son Torbjörn - it means Thunder Bear - but we had a girl! Torben is probably a more sensible option. I like it.

Good name for a chocolate bar.

Love it!

Love it, there a Torben in a FB group I’m in who’s lovely and helpful so associate the name with him.

I like it. Unusual but doesn’t sound silly or made up.

Dp works with a torben. In Germany

I know two Torben's under 4 years old I do like it though

Don't like it at all. It sounds made up. It also sounds like a brand of paint or something. Plus it's not a familiar name in the UK do the child will constantly have to spell out his name to people.
There are some fantastic Scandi names out there, look for Scandinavian name lists, you'll probs find something similar but nicer sounding.

I prefer Thorsten

But I like this too

I like Torbin, also Torin as mentioned by PP. Unusual, but don't sound it somehow.

It sounds like it could be English,so somehow doesn't seem weird that you don't have any Scandi links

I like it.

I like it too.

I don't mind it but it sounds a bit GOTesque

Go for it OP! It's a great name not that I'm biased given DS is called Torben

I’m very sorry but when I say it out loud all I think is corben !!!!

I think "Corbyn" too. Torin is a nice idea.

I like it but would absolutely assume Scandi links and think he will have a lifetime of just saying you liked the name.

@AnnaMagnani And that would be an utter SACRILEGE, heaven forbid you LIKE your child’s name?!?! 😂

Well it's a Danish name and it's losing popularity there. If put the name in to see the Danish name statistics here you will see it has completely lost its popularity

@Abrahamkin Only useful as a comment if the OP is Danish? It’s relevence is probably more that it’s not common on the UK, whether it’s popular elsewhere is less important, no?
