Loki

[taichii]

Opinions on the name?
What gender would you associate it with?

Definitely a masculine name. I know a 3 year old Loki. I quite like it but don’t think I’d use it - quite a lot of cultural baggage. The Loki I know has a twin brother called Kai.

Haven't seen the films but I'd think Loki the trickster from Norse mythology. Know a couple of cats with the name.

My children have names from Norse mythology but they are actual names that are used in Scandinavia. Loki is male, and not a name I would call a child

I show dogs. It's VERY popular in dogs.

My kitten is called Loki. Loved the name but not for my child,sorry

Male, not a particularly nice male from Norse mythology. Good name for a dog.

I adore it. I know two and have heard of another. I know two Thor's as well. Most of the posters on this name forum are sheltered and uptight and will only tolerate traditional British names. Take no notice.

I know 2, one's 8 and the other's 6. I don't know the character or the cultural associations but I like the way it looks and sounds.

I agree with pp who suggested Lachlan, nickname of Loki

“Most of the posters on this name forum are sheltered and uptight and will only tolerate traditional British names” OR maybe they just think if you’re going to use a name from another culture, do your homework and make sure you know it’s connotations?

Asking for trouble..

Did anyone ever watch The Almighty Johnson's? Loki was a prick. Though I loved that awful show

Male name, Norse god as mentioned above, my sisters cat is Loki 😁
Would also go for Lachlan nn Loki

Thor's evil brother!

I know lots of dogs called Loki. They are naughty dogs too...

Lochia....

There is one in our reception year at school. I thought it was s joke when someone told me. Sadly not

Nope. Loki from mythology is not the 'misunderstood mischievous trickster' of the movies. It's like calling your child Lucifer.

🤣😂🤣

Me!! It was weirdly good in a WTF kind of way.

Agree that it's a cat's name. Don't do it!

Reminds me of lota for washing your bits.

@iklboo It was fab.
I did crush on Hodr and Bragi a little....

Bragi was all mine. Imagine my joy when Dean O'Gorman and Aidan Turner were cast in The Hobbit
