Torben?

Hello!

Expecting dc2 in April and currently have 1 boys name on the list that dh loves - I like it but I'm only half sold. Tonight he suggested Torben. I wasn't sure at first but the more I say it the more I like it.

We like fairly uncommon names that can be shortened to more well known nicknames so the child has an option if they want a shortened/less unusual name. Our DDs name is like this and I guess in this case he would have the option of Toby or Ben?

What are your thoughts? Do you know any?

Torby is cute

For a pet, maybe.

I think it's great. Unusually and easy to spell, I think its more likely to get shortened to Tor than Toby. Good luck.
