Thor

[KirstieKaren]

Please can I ask people's opinions on Thor? TIA

Yet many here loathe it and go poor child.

Personally I dislike Torben for me its on. Par with the Keith/Colin age here in the UK

Thor however imo is cool

I really don’t understand why people think that if you have the same name as someone famous, then you have to look like them? Do people realise Chris hemworth is human and an actor? If you were naming a child after Thor for his looks, going by the original description he would have to be fat and ginger. I can’t imagine many people naming their child based upon what they may look like when they’re older, or what personality traits they may have. God forbid a child named after a fat, ginger, made up man turn out to be short/dark haired and like books??!! 😂

Yeah, but you can’t ignore the associations that come with a name like that. A 6ft+ muscular, god-like figure—it’s a lot to live up to! Like someone said below, what if he ends up looking more like Mr. Bean? Imagine being named Thor and turning heads for all the wrong reasons. That would be brutal.

And then there’s the career aspect. Picture this: he becomes a teacher. Can you imagine how well that would go down in a secondary school? The jokes would write themselves. Or worse—he’s a doctor. “Dr. Thor Smith” sounds like the name of a comic book character, not a trusted physician! And law? “KC Thor Smith” doesn’t exactly scream credibility.

And let’s not even talk about wedding vows: “I, Thor Odin Smith…” No, no, and no.

Woild I Thor Bjørn Larsen work better for you?
Honestly I don't see any of the issues you are bringing up here.

With the wide range of names we are now using as society few of the generation growing up now will even raise an eyebrow of a name like Thor.

Good thing too we as a society are getting rid of prejudice.

I don’t watch Marvel or know which actor plays Thor to me Thor is a blond huge Viking type god.

Thoughts on Thor.

It's a hard no from me. Please don't do that to your child.

My son has a Norse name very similar to Thor

Not without Scandi heritage and preferably a Scandi surname.

He might carry it off, just, if your surname isn't something like Blenkinsop and he grows up to be a 6 foot 5 stunnngly good looking blond.
