Thoughts on the baby name Ragnar?

I like the name and f*ck what others think, you both liked it before use it.

It’s your kid, call him whatever you want! For the record I think it’s an awesome name.

Cool if he is a Viking?

I think burrito is cute

Like it it’s your child not the family’s

Well now if monster in law doesn’t like it hubby will not go for it. I personally don’t care for it. Next time don’t tell anyone your choice of a name

I think it’s only fair if you both agree. You can blame his mom all you want but if HE CHANGED his mind that’s HIS fault not his moms. No one physically MADE him change his opinion. And I agree it’s not a cute name but it’s not my child so to each it’s own.

Never change a name because someone doesn’t like it. They shouldn’t share their opinion unless it’s nice- it’s not their choice

I don’t like it. But I do like ranger which is what I thought it was.

I do not like it but it is your baby so that name is up to you

I wouldn’t change your baby name because someone else doesn’t like it. But it’s def not a cute name

I’d go it as a middle name, then you can still call him that and find a compromise that’s similar as the first name instead

yay Viking name canst say I like it but its your choice You have to think how will the child feel with that name when its older

You do you but just remember your child has to navigate school with it

Torsten – ‘Thor and stone’

Magnus. Means great. Many a Viking and many a modern-day Scandinavian go by this name.

Callan, Evander, Gunnar.

Good luck.

How would the young boy feel when his classmates call him Rag (kids love to shorten their friends’ name not meaning any harm though).

I don’t personally like the name but it is ur baby…the only opinions that matter are urs and ur husbands

It’s up to you obviously but it’s not a name I like. But what I like is irrelevant to you.

It’s yours and your husbands baby so name him what yous want to name him, I wanted to call mine Romeo Zachariah if I was having a boy course nobody liked the name I picked but I was going to name it him regardless

Reminds me of a cooking sauce

I love the name Ragnar but then again I’m Icelandic and it’s a common name in Iceland and has been since the Viking age. So worst case scenario, if the kid gets teased a lot he can just move to Iceland and nobody will bat an eye about that name :joy:

You also need to keep in mind how much someone is going to say it wrong or give you a hard time for it

Everyone has an opinion. Especially when it comes to babies
And if you can’t hear it from your mother in law you will not be able to deal with it from every Tom dick and Harry you come acrossed

I named my daughter Beverley not many people like it but it’s my child and I’m the one that’s going to have to say it every day so it’s my choice they can have their own children and name them if they that big of an opinion about it

A happy wife is a happy life, you may want to remind him of that. LoL :joy:

I wouldn’t name my baby that but it’s up to u and your to decide.

I love it. Not so much for a baby or youth but definitely for a man.
Also, I feel like it’s a name that won’t suit unless you are Icelandic or such. In saying that, he is your son so u go ahead and name him whatever you like. People will just have to get used to it and they will.
I will never understand why people feel the need to voice their negative opinions regarding parents naming their children.

I like it. Who cares what people think. They don’t have a say at all. Name your kid what you want and screw everyone else. After my youngest was born and we revealed his name we got lots and lots of hate. Ignore them and name that baby whatever you want.

Are you or your kin from the Baltic area?

Obviously its up to you, but how will your kid feel in school? They will be teased and made fun of their whole childhood.

It’s YOUR baby! NOT the families baby!

I’m sorry, is it his family’s child? No? O I didn’t think so… U guys should name ur child whatever the hell you want for whatever reason you want… I’m sure he will develop nicknames… He might latch on to a nickname and most people might not even know his real name… U never know how those things will work out.

I love the name. Has history. Do what you want it’s your child. I’ve seen queatable names like apple or forest but those are names. I mean celebrities name theirs directions for cris sakes. If your happy that’s what matters

Oooooh, very Viking. Personally preferred bjorn. :joy::joy::heart_eyes::heart_eyes::heart_eyes:

I really don’t see how someone could think a child is going get bullied over a name like that in this day of time where people are naming their child common household goods & etc.? A bully is a bully they’ll find anything to pick on your child about. When it comes to making a child name it should be different/unique & something you/your spouse love. Who want 5 “Katelyns” or whatever common names that get used over & over? If y’all like it who cares!!

Ragnarok is Scandinavian for the end of the world or a series of catastrophes. The name probably has a similar meaning so I’d be thinking poor kid, what a horrible name to have.

Honestly it’s a cool name. Plus Ragnar is a legendary viking king. What a cool person to be named after right? I named my son Anakin and we got all the same comments. Oh he’ll be bullied, picked on, no one will understand etc. Now Star Wars is super popular and everyone loves his name!

Opinions here are irrelevant. But go for a name you both like.

I named my son Ivar and I was a little unsure because of the same reaction from family at the time. He is now almost 4 and I’m so glad we decided to go with what we wanted and couldn’t think of a better name for him.
Go with what’s in your heart :heart:

Name your baby with a name that you are both happy with. Don’t allow family or friends to influence the name change.

If you like it, then that’s all that matters. No one likes my girl names but I’m sticking to them. At the end of the day you naming them isn’t going to dictate how you are as a parent. I also tell people that they can name their children or have named their children whatever they wanted and I wasn’t asking for their opinion.

Yes, it’s horrible :smile:

I like unique names. I have a Mandrake, Phoenix, Keigen, Thor, if you like it I would keep it.

Yes. It’s really that bad. 

Youand your husband should be together on this.

It’s hideous, don’t do that to your baby!

your child, your decision, be aware of consequences

My God. All these moms shaming a name because they don’t like it. All the comments about "think of the kids future " are so stupid. We live in a time where unique names are completely normal. I say name your baby the name you love. I think the name is very cool!

Interesting name - but think of the nick names the kids gonna have - Rag, Raghead, nards, Raggy nards - unless you call him by another nick name- remember kids are mean

I always watched out what we named our kids as my Dad hated his name his whole life and always mentioned it!

Nah, I like it, it’s unique, my sons name is drizzt we names him from a book series. At first no one liked but now they love it and I can’t even imagine giving him the other name we picked out.

Are you of Scandinavian descent? If so, it’s a very old name that speaks to your heritage. If you aren’t then you are just naming your kid after a television character. Maybe give him a more pedestrian middle name so if he doesn’t like “Ragnar” as he gets older, he can go by his middle name.

as much as i hate to say it id maybe change it because of how mean and cruel kids are now days he will prob be picked on n bullied because of it maybe Ranger instead its close to wut ya wanna name him

My sister’s aunt if I’m not mistaken named her son Ragnar. Although it’s not a common name and some won’t agree with it, it’s your child and your choice. My youngest sons name is Legend. Being creative with names is just something that all moms do nowadays. Ragnar is a viking name, so the way I see it, it shows strength, power, and agility!

I don’t think Ragnar is a pretty name for a girl so make her middle name your husbands choice and when she gets older she can decide on either using her first name or her middle name.

Love the name! Love unquie names that arent to out there. The first gift you give your child is their name.

It doesn’t matter what the internet or anyone else thinks….Do you and your husband like the name? If so everyone else can kick bricks. My youngest name is Nico. My Dad and step mom hated it. Told me all though my pregnancy they were going to call him Nicky. They did. But he’s 5 and he doesn’t like to be called Nicky. He will also correct you and tell you “My name is Nico!” I think it’s funny lol. We all love his name.
