Who cares what anyone else thinks as long as you a d your husband love it,its not there child is that the name from the show Vikings one of the caratures I dont think it’s all that bad
Oof. Literally any of letter besides t to replace the g and it’d probably be okay. Goodluck, momma… naming a child is not light work.
If you want him called Rag all through school. Just remember kids can be extremely cruel.
I think it’s great. If anything, compromise and have that as his middle name.
It’s different. I wouldn’t like the name cuz shirt is rag and I think of my period when I hear that word. But that’s just me. They should shove their rude comments up their you know what’s. Also different generations have very different opinions on names. I take their opinion with a grain of salt just like I do their parenting advice.
It’s YOUR child. End of story.

It means warrior. Don’t change it. It is an unique name. Don’t let Anyone tell you what to name YOUR child
I agree with everyone else. Its an awful name.
It’s not about what you like and you not caring about what others think
It’s about forcing your child to suffer through childhood with a horrible name and that HE will care about it

I think it’s a great name and I think you should name your baby whatever you want to
We almost named our son ragnar but went with Bjorn instead. You’re the parents, not them.

Family’s wants on baby’s name isn’t really that important but honestly? What you want to name your baby in the here and now isn’t nearly as important as how your baby will feel about their name …in 5 years…in 10 years…in 20 years…
You want to name your baby Ragnar because you like it…but…why do you like it? Do you like it because you feel like it’s a good name for a human being? A one day adult? Or do you like it because it’s unique and that’s what you want is unique whether it’s actually a good name for a one day adult human being?

Its your choice but your kid has to live with it.
Ragnar is awesome! It was a strong Viking name. 
you will be able to show the story. Go for it!
LET ME JUST THROW THIS OUT THERE
You are carrying that child for 10 months. Just under a year. You go through things men couldn’t dream of. YOU birth that being. YOU name that baby what you want. My oldest is named after my grandma with the name Emily Louella. My youngest is named after me with Misti Lyric. And you know what? I asked opinions, but I chose my babies names.
Do what YOU want and fuck the rest, mommas 
They will call him Rag…
And not in a nice way.
It’s not even a nice name at all… Don’t put him thought that.
But, to each their own…
Do as you please.
As a person who’s taught elementary, middle, and high school, I will not lie that might be a tough one for them, but if it’s something you and your husband truly love and feel passionate about, then you can raise your child to believe that their name is of Honor and Worthy and to fight off the mean things kids might say. Again your kids going to meet mean people their whole life, even when they’re adults so that’s not really a reason to judge how you name your kid, just something to be prepared for.
I mean I’m personally not a fan of it. It sounds like a name of an alien from a Sci-fi movie lol (my bad sorry) but your shooting it out of you. You can name them purple dragon for all I care. It’s your baby. Changing it just because someone else doesn’t like it would be ridiculous. 
Darlin it’s your Child, I personally think it’s a mad name… even average name’s cop crap from bullies… Yeah unusual but unique too…
They’ll get used to it…
YOUR CHOICE, YOUR BUBBA 
Ragnar is a good Viking name, but I’m with the family. It’s a terrible name to lump the poor tacker with for the rest of his life

I think it’s a great name. Just make sure you have a solid nick name picked out.
Not a fan of the name, but if you love it… go for it! Tell your husband to man up. Your opinion should matter more than his mother’s. She didn’t make the baby, so she shouldn’t have any say-so in naming the baby
Yes it really is that bad.
I love that name 
I’m obsessed with that show 
It is bad it will always remind me of the movie Never too young to die. With John stamos
Lol we were just talking about this… my hubs friend has a brother named Oozie. His older brother named his kids GoKu and Gohan.
Lol to each their own.
Love it! My husband and his family have strange names because they are from Iceland. I think they are very unique. 
Name your baby whatever YOU and HE want.
Your and Hubby’s baby. Thinking of the future for the child with this name. Just from the spelling, I can just begin to imagine the challenges for the child, as kids can be very cruel to each other. Maybe a middle name and you both could agree on a different first name. Just my thoughts since you were asking. I’m sure you both will figure out what’s best.
The only opinions that matter are the people picking the name.

Nothing wrong with “Ragnar”. …and if Grams wanted to name another baby she should have had her own. P.S. If the baby hasn’t been named yet… it’s worth discussing. 
Good luck and congrats.

Personally, I love it. I think that its your child together and both opinions should matter. Its Scandinavian norse viking orgings.
“Scandinavian origin that means Army Rule. Ragnar Lodbrok (Lothbrok) was a legendary hero of Old Norse poetry and sagas from the Viking age.”

Everyone who has ever played Skyrim will sing “Ragnar the Red” at him for the rest of his life.
You should care a little bit what everyone else thinks. Just think about how much crap he’ll catch from kids because of it. Growing up is hard enough without a name like Ragnar.

I like the name Ragnar. It’s Norse. It’s the name of a famous Viking. My friend named her daughter freyja.

it sounds like the name of a weathered viking man. ppl can’t see a baby face behind it that’s all
Ragnar is still a million times better than “Kryptonight” or “AhMillion” or “Sparkles” or “DeMoney” or “Vagina” 
All actual legal government names that I have personally witnessed.
Its up to you. My name is based off of my heritage. I got teased by some kids, but it didn’t ruin my life. I grew to really appreciate it, better than some basic b*tch name anyway. Go to the doc or park and hear 97 “Liams” or “Emmas”, pretty sure you’ll have the only Ragnar

Its not horrible but not great.
Maybe you need to change your own name to Ragnar, first. Why would anybody do this to a child…
I have a cousin named Ragnar 
Your kid but i can think of a couple unpleasant insults that he might endure.

If you like the name dont change it but compromise maybe a middle name instead?
How about a huge hand wave
From the show Vikings. He was a BADASS Viking
This is why with my youngest we didn’t say anything to anyone. We named him after Dindjarin from The Mandalorian and no one got to complain or insert opinions because his name was already registered etc.

Remember that times and fashions change fast. Now it might be unusual but in 5 10 years it might be popular. When I was naming my daughter Olivia 23 years ago in Poland, lady didn’t want to register her, because she said children will laugh at her for that name. a year later there was hundreds Oliwias. We moved to England and its completely normal Name. Sooo:woman_shrugging: the truth is every time when I hesitated about name, the moment the baby was born and I looked at them, I just knew what name suited them
In a moment of weakness when I was thinking about maybe having another child I would name him Korben or her Milla. Luckily baby fever passed 
I like it , it’s your baby you stick to your guns
I mean it is your baby. Think about his future… what if he wants to be a lawyer or doctor? Dr. Ragnar? It ultimately up to you … I don’t know what else to say
your Child you get to name it, but not Ragnar 
I love it! 4 of my kids have unique names and the other is a family name. Your child, your choice. My oldest is Feyd (named after the villain in Dune played by Sting)
People who doesn’t understand the meaning behind the name will always think it is awful. Ditto on my kids named like anime characters, it is our heritage.
He is going to get horribly teased with that name. I wouldn’t do it.

I love that name. I told my husband I was mad I got my tubes tied cause I need a baby name Ragnar
That’s my dog’s name
Do what you want. People name their kids anything they want these days!
I think it’s awesome I wanted to name my daughter Aries. I told my husband when I was pregnant that she could start a war with as much as she kicked me.
I wouldn’t do that to a kid. You want your child to have every advantage in life. Give him a name he can live with.

See, my problem is not the name, but asking opinions on the name. Other peoples opinions dont really matter. Its your child, not theirs. You will be speaking that name daily, not them. Your opinion is the most important.

Just stay mindful of how your son would like his name. Pick him a name he won’t be teased and bullied for when he starts school. Kids can be very rude so try and think of him more than what you like.
