I like it… I have a cousin who lives in South Dakota and his wife’s name is Ragnar… I had never heard it before, and haven’t since till now
I love the name Ragnar and totally get why you would want to use it. If thats what you want to name your child do it. No one gets to tell you otherwise
What is middle name. Perhaps use it
My partner was the same with our sons name. We were set on Braxton as a boys name for years, but when we found out I was pregnant with a boy he didn’t like the name anymore. We compromised and named him Braxton 
but if he is really against it maybe sit down and talk to him and come up with some back up if when the time comes and the name doesn’t sit well still
You’re just asking for bullying of your kid, when he gets about pre-teen, and he will hate you for it!

People think my kids names are “weird” I couldn’t see less tho I love them and so do they lol
I think the name Ragnar is awesome. Powerful too.
I love it. If I was to have another baby son I would name him Ragnar.
So this is the reason I didn’t tell anybody the names I had picked out prior to either of my kids being born. Once the kid is here what are they going to say?
Personally I don’t like the name but it’s not my child and you can do whatever you want. Have an open and honest discussion with your husband. If he likes the name prior to his mom giving him s*** and the only reason he changed his mind is outside influence maybe you guys will reconsider. If you really just likes it then I think it would be fair to come up with another one since both of the parents should probably agree.

First kids are mean this a name they will tear up listen to others might save your kid heartache but if you say it gives him character does it? Don’t be so stubborn just to be against your husband’s mom to use it compromise maybe use it for a middle name
Me personally I love it, I love names that are unique or ones that you don’t hear that often

If you both agreed upon this name and then came the experts, your husband should acknowledge his moms dislike of the name, and anyone else’s, but if you both really like it, then use it, it’s no one elses business what you name your child. They named their children, they need to step out, it is unique, I’ve never heard it, what will the middle name be? What will initials be? Those things are one of the thoughts we went through naming our kids. Does this name come from something meaningful to you both? The other thing we considered is, are there derogatory names that could be made up by mean kids at school? If they call baby Raggy, will that upset you for example? We were very adamant about our Benjamin being called Benny, that was not going to happen, and it didn’t, with 1 exception. 2 lovely ladies our family has known for eons started calling him Bennie Boo, it was their nickname for him, and no one else would get by with it. I say name your child what you both want, it’s your child, you’re going through the pregnancy together, you will work hard to bring Ragnar into the world, it’s your choice together.

Yea, it’s a no for me
I don’t personally like the name on a child BUT it’s not my child. I also don’t like the family name Birtha but it’s none of my business. If it’s something you chose and love it, just do it. Maybe compromise on a middle name. I didn’t like my sons first name (family name) but I got to pick the middle name that we could use as a nickname if necessary. He’s 18 now and we use his 1st name.
I liked the name Ragnar and Bjorn but my son’s name is Cobain James lex alcroft

Um I personally don’t like it.
Your body, your baby. But think of the child growing up to that name. Do you think there is a higher chance of bullying? Kids are mean. What about job applications?
It’s very different and unique. Not my choice preference, but it is your baby.
your baby , your choice , it’s not offensive, tell her to get her uterus out if she wants to name another child!
Trust me I’ve seen (heard) worse lol

I love the show the last kingdom and he was one of my favorite characters but personally that’s not a name I would choose. There’s so much bullying going on in the world that just seems like a quick way for some bleep hole kid to be rude for no reason

I love it because of this show lol. It’s your baby so name him what you want. This show made me wanna use alot of names for next baby

Reasons why I didn’t share my sons name until he was born. Everyone was mad bc they wanted to know but I didn’t want their opinions to change what I felt his name should be. I think it’s a beautiful and strong name, you’re the one carrying the baby, you have a connection if you think that’s the name stick with your gut.

Do what you want and deal with any consequences. My granddaughter is named Pandora and she is a badass goddess.
I’m thinking kids are mean, and call him Rag for short. I’d give it a second thought, but that’s just me. I think about weird stuff like that, especially around the age of middle school.

I love it!! Such a strong and handsome name! 
Haters gonna hate 
talk with your husband about it seriously and if he’s just nervous cuz of his mom , welp 
. You grew that baby and are going to birth it so why not? Also, you could always compromise, maybe used as a middle name instead? You can always change it at the hospital after birth (or even after the birth certificate is signed honestly) if you end up not liking it or thinking it doesn’t suit him once you meet him.

Do it it’s your child everyone else can suck it. My daughters name is Freya if she had been a boy her name would have been Ragnar. It’s a good strong name.
I wouldn’t name my kid that but to each their own. The kid will catch grief growing up. My opinion, if you decide to change it, you and your husband agree on a new name and keep it a secret until the baby is born. His mommy doesn’t need to know anything.
And with that said, I am SOOO grateful for the MIL I had. She never tried to put her 2 cents into my life, my relationship or how I mother my kids. God rest her soul.
When choosing a name I feel it’s important for you and your partner to like it and agree upon it. I also feel it’s important to think about how your child may feel about his/her name when they’re older and wether they’d like it or not. Maybe try and compromise with your husband and use it as a middle name maybe?

You have to just not say anything to anyone sometimes even family they can sometimes ruin so much joy from having a baby, they want to give an opinion but sometimes or most time they’re demanding on what they want and it’s your baby you decide , I had issues too with baby naming and I was young and didn’t want to speak up because I felt I would sound mean but you and your partner Should decide for the baby , be nice but firm when you respond if they get mad that’s on them , meantime you enjoy your baby 
Its fiiiine! I have a friend that her sons name is Soren Ragnar as middle and it’s very cute. VIKINGS RULE!

My kids are named Adonis, Malcolm-Paul, and Zélie-Monet. Who gives a shit what other people think. Raise your kids to love and be proud of the name you chose. Other people being bullies themselves and raising their children to be bullies should not make you feel the need to conform to their standards of normal. If you love this name and it means something to you and your husband, then go with it.
Cool name. Much better than all the YLeigh names you see around!

It might be a popular TV show now then something else will come along. Everybody is naming their dogs, cats, kids lizards etc Ragnar. There will probably be 5 other kids in his class at school with the same name.

Well it is different - - . You can make it his middle name - or call him by his middle name. You and your husband need to decide.
Definitely different
It’s not a bad name but also not a great name. At the end of the day all that matters is what you and your husband want. Kids at school are cruel nowadays and may call him RAG so maybe just be prepared.

I personally didn’t care for the names my kids picked for my grandbabies but it was their choice and once I got used to the names they sounded fine. And there aren’t 3 kids with the same name in their classes, or in their schools for that matter.
Well, he would probably be called Rag or Raggy and kids would make fun of him.

If you still like I would suggest to your husband using that as his middle name and calling him by that and then when he is older he can decide if he still wants to go by that name or not
I think the most important thing is to think about what is best for your child. A name is something they will live with for the rest of their life. It will affect them far more than you.
He better learn to fight…

My kids are

All are boys, nova especially my family didn’t like( I don’t watch teen mom and didn’t realize a lot of them named their girls nova as well, some family members even said I’ll just call him pizza… but I decided not to give a shit and so far I’ve only gotten positive remarks for their names, some even making the powerful fire force connection my first two are named after(let my husband name the third)
In the end your family will be the worst critics no matter the name, if you fall in love with the sound and especially if that names connects with your baby you go for it 
That’s a badass name!!!
Sadly he’d be bullied for it 
You could make it his middle name though!
Name your kid what yall want. You could name it toothbrush and no1 could say a thing. It’s YOUR child. Some of these people in the comments suck. Personally I love the name and meaning behind it.
It reminds me of Thor ragnarok. Pass for me
Good grief! If your mother in law wants to name a baby tell her to have another of her own. Your family needs to stay in their damn lane! I’m so sorry this is the family drama when they should all be celebrating this sweet babe.

I love it! I will never understand people thinking they have an opinion on someone else’s name/ baby name. If YOU like it and YOUR HUSBAND like it, then don’t listen to anyone else. They will get over it. Kids have weird names now, so no child is gonna be bullying “Ragnar” when their own name is something like “Midnight” (also cute name). I went to school with a “Princess”, no one gave a shit that it was her legal name, she was just another kid. The older generation needs to pull their act together and stop encouraging childish behaviour like bullying over a damn name.
I love the Viking movies too, but I wouldn’t use it for my kid
Ragnar Lothbrok

I would be concerned about him being picked on at school.
