Wdyt...


Espen (m) Scandinavian/Danish meaning bear of the gods.

I want to like it more. I don't hate it and I think it'd make a cool middle name.

That was my thought exactly...the whole ESPN as baby name phenomenon has tainted it! Otherwise I would like it.

I've actually heard a couple naming their son Espen after ESPN! lol...so that was my first thought also.

Too close to Aspen for me, which I hate.

I knew a guy from the Netherlands named Esben (same meaning, just a different variation. I think I like that better than Espen.

I was going to say this, I have several Danish friends named Esben and that kind of steers away from the ESPN connection while staying true to spirit of the name.

I really like it, but then again, I have a soft spot for Aspen :)
