Thor

What do you think of the name Thor? Obviously for a boy and is it horrible? Maybe as a middle name?

It's not my style, but it's nifty.

[sal_amanda]

Not my style, but at least it's a legit name. I'm a believer that slightly weirder things can be done as middle names.

I really don't like it, but I guess it's okay as a middle. =)

[velkoria.livejournal.com]

yeah I am big on Mythology (any and all) and to be honest there is something almost... alluring about the old God of Thunder... too bad Marvel kinda made it impossible for me to use it =(

[velkoria.livejournal.com]

same here on the middle name bit but yes... only legit names for me.

[velkoria.livejournal.com]

it would be kind of weird and might get taunting by other kids hee hee but thank you!

[a-tergo-lupi.livejournal.com]

Heh, yeah.

It's cool, but way over the top. Even as a mn. Like being named Zeus. :/ Keep it to GP territory.

I love it! In a geeky way. I could NEVER use it for fear of getting laughed out of my family.

[velkoria.livejournal.com]

I know, I do love the name Thora too!

Thanks.

I wouldn't mind using it but well we'll see, I'm light years away from kids anyway (gotta love the economy and all)

[velkoria.livejournal.com]

My family has to deal xD I'm pretty much their only hope for grandkids since my sister wants to tear out her on reproductive system so she never has to change a diaper in her life!

Maybe Thorsten with Thor as a nickname? I do think it could be a good middle name!

[velkoria.livejournal.com]

oh no, I don't like that at all and it takes away from the fact that Thor is a legit god >.>

Yeah, I may be keeping it around on my middle name list!

[apathykisses.livejournal.com]

It kinda looks and sounds incomplete to me. I feel like I need to add either an "n" or an "a" on the end. I think it could work as a middle name though.

I love it, but the name is kind of ruined for me. A good friend of mine has a boxer named Thor, and every time I hear the name his bubbly dog face pops up, hahaha.

My list is definitely full of its share of mythology names, but Thor doesn't really draw me in. I can't picture it on anybody. Maybe Thora, for a girl?

[lorienellen.livejournal.com]

I knew a Thor (pronounced "Tor", it was short for Thorval) and he seemed pretty well adjusted. Not sure if it's a name I would use personally, though.

[velkoria.livejournal.com]

I guess but he's a Norse God and all so... I liked ti mostly because of that. I do like Thora but Thor is more of a legit name to me.

[velkoria.livejournal.com]

haahaha that's kind of sad but yeah, I have many names like that.

[velkoria.livejournal.com]

Thora is nice but Thor is more about the god more than just a nice name.

[velkoria.livejournal.com]

oh yeah I am sure the kid won't be scarred for life or anything lol but it's annoying because of Marvel comics to me I guess.

[lind-saay.livejournal.com]

My friend named her son Travis Thor. I don't hate it, but I think it'd only be okay as a middle name.

I also know a guy in his 20s named Thoren. I don't hate it. (Rhymes with Soren.)

[fleckerbug.livejournal.com]

No no no.

[duckduckcaboose.livejournal.com]

I actually posted about this a few months back. I know a guy that's been in some of my classes named Thor. I actually made friends with him just to find out the source of his name. He's a pretty cool guy, and although I'd never name my kid Thor (unless in some random ass turn of fate it's Thor Jr.) I don't think it's like OMG awful or anything. It fits the guy I know, though in kind of an unexpected way.

[sallymn.livejournal.com]

Poor kid... much better for a bloodhound.

[sailorgoodbye.livejournal.com]

I love it!

[velkoria.livejournal.com]

I love Soren actually! but yeah, I like Thor on its own because of the mythological character so I wouldn't name a kid something to use it as a nickname.

[longlostblue.livejournal.com]

It's pretty silly.

I hate it as a name. I knew someone who named their baby that, and I imagined that somebody asked them how they felt at the same time someone asked them what they were going to name the baby. "Thor"
