Personally I like it! It’s different and not many kids will have that name. And at the end of the day you are his parents, it is your decision. But all these people saying he will be bullied for it is ridiculous, how about parents start teaching their kids respect? To bully someone over a name is pitiful, to bully at all is disgusting.

Go open your front door and yell the name and any possible nic names 3 times in a row. Yell it like they’re late for dinner. Then decide.
Btw it’s a comfort and honor to pass on a loved ones name too.

It’s a cool Viking name but I personally would not name my child Ragnar but it is your choice of course and you and your partner should name YOUR child whatever you like no one else’s opinion should matter as long as you and your partner like it who cares what others think of it
Just face the fact everyone will call the baby “rag” in school

Call him what you want,
All the people saying they will get picked on, kids will find anything to pick on if they think they can get a rise out of someone. Really I think it’s about how the kid thinks of themselves in the first place that really shows the effects of bullying, all you can do is try to instill self respect, self worth and self love.
I think it’s a bit of an older form of bullying too, in Melbourne suburbia names aren’t as noticeable these days as there is so much diversity at the schools, everyone has different names, some I couldn’t pronounce without help.
And different names have been more and more popular over the past 10years in all western countries too.
I was told that my daughter would find it difficult to find work, by many people, because of her name- Veraya.
My name is Evierose (I am 30 so was not common when I was young) and I’ve neeevvver had trouble getting work, in fact of always had multiple job offers when looking for work.
Perception is a funny thing (always goes off peoples own personal experience), trust your own.

Lol for everyone saying he might get teased and might be called RAG thats a silly reason not to name your child what you want. Children are creative and will come up with a funny name whatever ones name is. My name is Lori-Lea and i used to get called Lori-Pee, surname crawley and was also called creepy crawley. Theres worse names out there like Gagandeep or precious Mircle (yep have met one), know a Cooper that gets called pooper . Some of the people commenting also have terrible names that i could think of teasing I love the name

It’s not bad, just sounds like Wagner with a speech impediment.
I personally wouldn’t choose it. But your the mom
Not gonna lie I read it quickly and first thought it said ranger . And was like oh, I like it. to late 
But I would never change a baby’s name case someone didn’t like it .
My son’s name is Ragnarr.

Maybe do a dpin on it and use the character’s last name in a unique way? Maybe Lothran or Brooks…or something? Idk…Ragnar would fit only if he turns out blonde i think…bc of Viking origins. If really like it…do you. Your child. Just dont try to mix up spelling. Kid has to write it in the future.

Guessing you’ve been binge watching The Last Kingdom. You need to consider how that name will affect your child. Kids are going to pick on him. That’s practically guaranteed if you name him Ragnar. Yes, kids pick on each other for all kinds of reasons but why saddle him with a name that makes him an even bigger target? Unless you’re a Dane or Viking I’d say no.

Your child will hate his name unless you are German or Russian but if you’re here in the states kids will give him hell and I am assuming since such a strong name that it’s a boy?

Naming a child something “because you like it” is a bit selfish. They will have to live with that name, and deal with what others think of the name their whole life.
I wouldn’t choose it. Probably for that exact reason. Same way I wouldn’t name my daughter shaniqua

How would a future employer view that name on a resume? They shouldn’t care, BUT, they do. We named my son Reznor, but with a very normal middle name, for resume/employment purposes! Think about that!
Your chose is foe your child, but don’t upi and your husband have to agree, my separated one made it clear we had to agree or rethink another and not a name the kid would get teased by. Any name a kid would would get teased by as bully’s don’t really care, I like it…
Sounds like rag. Is it Raegnar sounding? I like the name.

Love the name Ragnar, especially if you have Scandinavian heritage. Depends where you live, I guess. I live in the DC area where kids have every name conceivable from every corner of the globe, so mostly they don’t make fun (The Vietnamese Phuk might be an exception). By the time he’s in school, no one will remember whatever movies or TV shows were popular when he was born. If you live in a rural or more isolated area where everyone is named John, Mike, Jim Bob, or Bill, well, it’d stand out for good or ill.
I think it’s pretty bad sorry

Do you have any confirmed ancestral bloodlines linking you Viking tribes? If not…. Why are you so attached to such an animalistic savage name?
Sometimes, different isn’t always good.

I think it’s awesome! Be different. Your child will love their name. Learning about the significance and history of the name will be a fun experience as well. My daughters name is Lilith, many people say how beautiful it is, but so many have no idea where it came from. My daughter will never be ashamed of her name no matter what people say, and I think you should teach your child to be proud to have such a strong name.
Horrible… will leave your baby open for lots and lots of teasing and bullying

Name your child what ever you want there’s nice kids there’s mean kids regardless of someone’s name
There nothing wrong with a name it’s peoples opinion that are wrong and how they assosiat with a name I know kids with the name and to be fare there friend have all asked there parents why they not called it and its the parents the teun about and have a problem with the name because of a TV program I’d the TV progame never was on no body would say any think and to some of the comme t ignore if kids wanted to they can make fun of any name there boy in my sons calls that called Ben and he got picked on for having the name he don’t any more my 3 kids helped but kids like that only interpret what there parents think there kids this all sorts of old and brand-new names that some one will have a problem with but the the question is not where some one else like the name it’s whether you like the name forget what family say I didn’t tell my family what my kids where called until I anoced the arrival of my child
Reminds me of a dinosaur
It wouldn’t be a choice for me but, like his family, it’s not my business!
please change it that poor child
Depends if you have Danish Viking ancestry or it’s a fandom thing?
It could shorten to Rags, or Ragu.
It sounds really hard, like harsh to say out loud
If you don’t care what anyone else thinks, you wouldn’t have asked the question? Personally I don’t like the name but it’s your choice! So do what you want
Sounds terrible… I’m all for the different names but that is just awful

My Son drinks a drink at school called this so I instantly thought of that
