Gonna call him rag for short? :rofl::rofl: jk jk.
If you like it… go for it.

I think if you guys like it who cares what others think. Ragnar is a strong name. It’s name meaning means warrior.

I think it’s okay but your child may not like that name. Kids may tease him. I named my son Dustin and some kids called him Dustbin. I was so offended.

Tell people you have changed your minds but are now not telling the name to anyone. Then name him what you want.

never heard of that name, its different.

You should think of your child before your self. That’s what real mothers do. It’s horrible.

It makes me think of a name off of game of thrones lol

After having my kids, speaking from experience, tell everyone to mind their own business. It’s your child, you name them what you want. And from personal experience of having a sour relationship with my mil, DEFINITELY do not listen to his mom and he shouldn’t listen to her either, you’ll be guilt tripping yourself forever for doing so. It will also come up in, arguments too. My mil texted me the morning of my first csection trying to suggest we name my daughter something else and I had it out with her. She was awful about our kids names. His family was obsessed with them being named an old school name or after his family… hell no. My husband and I both had each other’s backs the whole time and told everyone to butt out. I suggest your partner does the same. Are they gonna be raising this kid, too? Then no one except you and your husband should have no say/influence.

It’s your choice but I don’t like it. That’s only my opinion so it doesn’t hold weight anywhere else lol

I like it. Don’t let anyone’s opinion change what YOU want for your child!

Your baby not theirs. My son’s name is Lucifer and you should of seen the uproar on it :roll_eyes: hubby wanted to change it but when I told him I ain’t budging he’s happy that we didn’t choose a different name . Stick to your guns muma.

I love that name but I also love Viking period dramas. Maybe give him a “regular “ middle name in case he decides to go by that :woman_shrugging:t2:

I’m not sure where you found that name, but your child is going to get teased a lot. People are going to call him Rags. They aren’t going to know how to pronounce it. Or spell it when they hear it. I don’t think I would name my baby that.

I mean I would t name my kid ragnar it kinda sounds like a pets name

Personally I don’t like it, but it’s your child, your business, your choice. Just remember that’s his name name for life.

I’d maybe pronounce it Ragner , like the name Wagner. Then I like it

I’m not a fan of it but if you like it then use it! Dad should have an input since it seems you are together and plan to be raising him together.

I like it. And it’s your baby. Name him what you want!!

First time I heard Ragnar was on TV. He was a strong man and a leader. I love the name!!

I think when you choose a name that’s from a popular show or movie, you’re bound to get lots of eye rolling criticism. It’s cool in the show, but will he be happy with it growing up? It’s like all the little Khaleesis running around now. A little cringey.

I think it’s fine. It’s unique. It’s a strong viking name. If it ends up being an issue he can go by Ray or his middle name.

If you and your husband agree, It doesn’t matter what anyone else think. Tell your husband to man up to his mother. This should be a red flag if his mother has that much influence with him over you, his wife.

My family has had an issue with every name… I just don’t care and learned to never tell anyone til the baby’s born and the birth certificate is completed for this reason ,:roll_eyes:

I wouldn’t name my kid that , but if you like or go ahead , it’s no one’s business but yours and your husbands

Either the kid will grow up strong and a leader, or he’ll be picked on everyday at school and be skipped over on job applications. :woman_shrugging: it’s 50/50 here.

No it’s cute and different. It will fit him when he’s here and it’s 6 months-year later.
Kids will be kids and make up names for anyone. There are little bullies.
My son’s name is Tristan and there are some boys that think it’s funny to call him Tristina.
So dumb. He doesn’t care and I’ve talked to him about bullies.
Ragnar is strong!

Your baby. Your choice.

It’s your baby name it what ever you want. They named their babies now it’s your turn.

I love it. But I love unusual names. I named my daughter Korben Dallas. Name your child what you want. Kids are going to tease no matter what you name him.

I’m personally not a fan but it’s your choice. Each to their own .

It’s from the show Vikings! And personally Ragnar is the biggest badass ever!

My husband would love it. When him and our daughter are playing pretend school, he says his name is Ragnar :joy: he loves the Viking era

I personally am not a fan, but it’s not my baby. :woman_shrugging:t2:

Hey I’m not going to sugarcoat it, it’s absolutely terrible. But if that’s what you want to do to your poor child that’s your decision

That’s my friend’s cats name, and it does not sound good being screamed down the street, nor does it roll off the tongue when you find him doing something naughty that makes you yell his name.

Try it out you’ll see.

Your baby. It will have that name for the rest of its life so think hard about it. I wouldn’t. It sounds more like a dogs name than a persons name but it’s totally your decision.

Funny thing is… the person I chose my 3 sons’ names with was my dad!!! Such a weird thing, now that I think about it. The ex hubby didn’t really care what I named them, and my mom had chosen names like fabrizio…I said mom…they’re going to bully him…NO! LOL

If you’re husband is cooperative…pick a name together…if he liked that name before…then go for it…personally, I wouldn’t…but I picked traditional names for my kids. I played it safe. Lol :laughing:

Really being honest it’s not cute at all. He’s going to get made fun of all the time

Compromise is needed here. Maybe use his middle name as a nic name and let him decide at 16 if he does not like his birth name.

Are you prepared for “Rag” as a nickname?

I’m obsessed with the show The last Kingdom on Netflix and One of the character names is Ragnar. You name your baby what YOU want. You’ll drive yourself insane trying to please others just to make them happy when in reality they’ll never be satisfied. You do for you and yours only.

You are giving birth not them.

People need to remember they’re not just naming a baby they’re naming a future adult too.

Yes it’s your baby but it’s also your husbands baby too. His opinion matters just as much as yours :woman_shrugging:t3:
