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

Sounds like what an Irish Sikh man would wear....

Torben is a well known name in Denmark so it's definitely not unusual or made up. It is, however, also typically the name of a 50ish year old person. I would not pick it for my baby son - it's one of those names that can never be a child's name to me, it will also sound like a grown man.

Is it a Danish Darren or Wayne?

MikeUniformMike · 24/07/2018 12:09

or Kevin?

Oh, Jeremy Torben...

No it’s pretty neutral - just old-fashioned (but not in the ‘and therefore on trend again’ kind of way)

GreatDane10 · 24/07/2018 15:21

Actually the Danish Wayne or Kevin is...Wayne or Kevin! Or Liam

Not my cup of tea, but it's not offensive.
