I like it, it’s unique and badass. It’s your kid, not theirs!
It’s your baby, name your baby what ever you want. The baby will be apart of you for the rest of your life not theirs. On a day to day basis you’ll be with the child not everyone else. Explain to daddy it’s not his mother’s child, she had her chance to name her kids. No matter what the family will get use to it and forget they even had an opinion on the name.
Girl!! It’s yours and your husbands baby!! Personally… I think its a strong awesome name… but again it’s your baby!! Choose your babies name… you’re taking care of him for the next 18+ years…
He might get teasted
Just imagine what it will be like when he goes to school. 
Omg I absolutely love it. Your baby your choice x
There is a kid in our town named Abracadabra… her parents we friends with one of my high school best friends. I work in pediatrics too so I have seen some unique ones lately!

Doesn’t matter what we think. I named my youngest Harrison and many didn’t like it. He was my third boy and I always liked the name and liked Harrison Ford growing up 
. I grew him and he came out of me… I’m picking the damn name and it doesn’t matter what anyone else thinks.
It may be an issue if your surname is Boneman.
A life time of being called Rag?

I think it’s awful and if anyone I knew introduced me to their child, “Ragnar” I’d for sure spit my drink out if i was caught off guard…
I wanted to name my first Piper and my mom talked me out of it saying she’d be called “Peter piper” 
idk what mean joke kids would come up with for that name but once they go home and tell their parents about their friend “Ragnar” and they spit their drinks out it’s over for the little fella

This is why you never tell anybody your baby’s name till after they’re born because anyone will tell you they hate the name when you’re pregnant but no one will say it when’s the baby’s already named. It’s too late unfortunately your husband already vetoed it he can’t have a name for his kid that he hates
He can always go by his middle name if he doesn’t like it. But I like the name. Don’t start changing what y’all like over an opinion. I just looked up the meaning, yes! Do it.
Your baby you and hubby decide. Just think of him/her growing up with the name.

My dad hated the name, ‘Arian’, that I chose for my son. He said it wasn’t a “real boys’ name”. After Arian was born, I know he was uncomfortable saying it at first but he adored his first grandson and got used to it. Don’t change it.

Do you want your child called Rag their entire life? I never tell people my opinion on their baby name, but you asked, and I would rethink this one.

I love the old names, this one is old Germanic and has a strong meaning of warrior or army. It’s also of Christian origin. It’s easy to say and easy to spell. Bring him up strong and proud and he’ll be fine with the name.

Honestly (because you asked for it) it’s an ugly name. Probably one of the worst names I have ever heard 
Name your kid whatever you want, but I personally think it’s an ugly name.

I think it’s cool 
. It’s your baby, your life. Who cares what others think? And people commenting about bullying or having him being called Rag" for the rest of his life. Just stop it. It’s not the name that makes you who you are.
So, in my opinion, name him Ragnar!! It’s what you and your husband want, then do it. Tell your family member that you understand their concern, however, it is your child, your life and your decision. If they don’t respect that and keep giving you hell, ignore it, and focus on your life and your new baby. They can get happy in the same pants they got pissy in. Besides, 8 times out of 10, I have noticed that all the silly drama crap about names, etc, disappear after everyone sees, kisses, hugs and snuggles the baby. Just quit telling people things, and less for others to talk about. Surprise them all when they come in for the visit 
Names are important. I was named after my dad. He wanted a boy. Sorry. I have never been called by my given name. Felt like I was not good enough. I have always been called by a nickname, same as my dad’s when he was younger. He HATED it. How do you think it made me feel? It took me many years to let it go.
I caught a bunch of shit about my son’s name, Sebastian Blaze. Everyone asked me how are you going to shorten that into a nickname? I’m not you will call him by his name Sebastian or you won’t be allowed to see him. Stick with what you like, I love it momma.
Isn’t that the name from GoT
You name your baby whatever you want … You are carrying him for nearly 10 mos, giving birth to him and caring for his every need. I think it’s a pretty cool name-it’s different and unique! 
People have a lot to say, and a lot of nerve. Do what you want, unless one of them will buy you a house if you don’t! lol

You and your husband picked this name out. But due to his mother, he now wants to change the name. How stupid is this guy??? He wants his mother to dictate to him what his children should be named? What a wimp!!! Tell him to grow up and tell mommy dearest to flip off! This is HIS kid, HIS decision and YOURS, not his authoritarian mother. I bet she still tells him what clothes to wear and tells him to remember to wash behind his ears!!!
My friends dog is called Ragnar. It’s the first and only time I’ve ever known is used until this post. I can’t get past that.
What’s wrong with the nickname"Rag"? And how would kids even know how to make fun of “Rag” when kids now a days don’t even know what a “rag” is. They know of paper towels! I don’t understand why people are saying this*. It’s not the name that makes people who they are. I think the name is cool and all the parents have to do is raise that little man into a strong, tough, respectful, and loving man. 
And since his name will be unique, to stand up for himself and be proud of who he is 
It’s all by design, our government is doing everything to destroy and kill all of us! Wake up and start researching and listening to the truth not mainstream media
You can name him whatever, but you asked my opinion, and Ragnar reminds me of Edgar for some reason.

It’s a great name. It’s driffent which makes it spacial
Ragnar race is all that comes to mind when I hear it 
I personally, LOVE it. That was going to be my second babies name, but she ended up being a girl, instead her name is Freyja. You’d be surprised how common old Norse names are. I think you guys should go with what you love!

Viking names are soooooo beautiful! Keep it! Screw what anyone else thinks. Does he have super Christian parents?
I love the name. And if you both liked the name and chose it then that’s all that matters. Your husband needs to grow a pair and tell his momma that it is his child so she needs to back off. You are his wife he should be supporting you, not her.
My son’s name is Reggie and I heard a lot of shit for it but my hubby and I like it and that’s all that matters.
name your baby what you want to name them, everyone else will come around! my daughter’s all have made up names and NO ONE in my family approved of any of their names, strangers will tell me how beautiful their names are though. the only one who still complains about their names is their great grandmother, but you know how that goes over a certain age they are set in their ways lol.
If you’re trying to name him after the guy from Vikings then go for it
I have a couple of nicknames an I answer to all of them . So people only know me by my nicknames. Not a big deal
Oh, there once was a hero named Ragnar the Red who came riding from Whiterun to ol’ Rorikstead… ♫
Sorry I agree with them
Kid will grow up with mental issues with a name like that

They will be made fun of if you use a simple name! Use what you love! I named my son Benedetto after his Dads dad. My in laws were all up in arms!!! No one wanted to use the name, but they didn’t want me to either. Long story short… He loves his name. He went back to Italy and reclaimed his grandfathers heritage and now holds two passports. Dream for your baby… no one else will!
Sorry but I do not like it either. enemies or just ornery kids or friends that she gets in high school they will make up all kinds of nasty words for it. And sayings It not right but they do it. So I would change it for her benefit. Sorry to agree with your spouse. A mom of 4, two sets of twins.

It’s a Norse name that comes from the Old Norse elements ragin meaning counsil and hari- meaning army; and has come to mean warrior or judgement. It’s a very popular name in Scandinavian region. Immortalised in the Icelandic sagas of the thirteenth century, the legendary Norse leader, Ragnar Lothbrok, has since become familiar with modern audiences through the hit television show ‘Vikings’. It is said that this infamous Viking warlord raided the coasts of France and England and was duly given land and a monastery by Charles the Bald, before betraying the covenant and sailing up the Seine to besiege Paris. the Saxo Grammaticus contends Ragnar was not slain, but in fact went on to terrorise the shores of Ireland in 851 AD and established a settlement not far from Dublin. In those ensuing years, Ragnar would supposedly raid the breadth of Ireland, and the north-west coast of England. Much to learn about the Norse when you look beyond the TV. Ask yourself a few questions about the name and make sure it’s what you want before you give it to your child to have for the rest of his life.
Ragnar is a fine Norse name. It’s not very common today so it would be somewhat unique. I like it because it’s easy to pronounce and easy to spell. Because it’s not common he would get some teasing when he’s older, less so in Scandinavian countries than other parts of the world. If you do decide to cave in, there are some variations. Ragnar: Pronunciation of Ragnar as a boys’ name is of Old Norse origin, and the meaning of Ragnar is “judgment warrior”. Related to German names like Reginald and Rainer.
STARTS/ENDS WITH Ra-, -ar
ASSOCIATED WITH norse, judgment, warrior
Variations
VARIANTS Ragnor, Rainer, Rainier, Rayner, Raynor, Regner, Reiner
RELATIONS VIA RAINER, REGINALD Raghnall, Rainor, Ranier, Raynald, Raynier

Something to keep in mind, you can name your child what ever you want but remember at some point they are going to be an adult looking for a job and although they shouldn’t name’s matter.
How did you come up with the name. Maybe your husband needs to be reminded of that. Just a suggestion as something made you chose it.

Have you considered the possibilities of the baby being bullied with nicknames. You may not care about what others think, but it’s a name you won’t be wearing for the rest of your life. Weigh the pros and cons on having that name and if it’s bad, Look for alternatives
It is the parents choice if u guys like it so b it
It’s your choice but your kid has to live with what you give them at least until they are old enough to legally change their name. Unique and strange are two totally different things and this name Ragnar is just strange. In my opinion in a bad way. It sounds like a name of a marvel movie. Do you really want to send your kid out in life with that?

The thing is, kids and people in general are mean. If the child will be made fun of, I vote no.
I remember someone crying when I wanted to use their name as a name sake. She was picked on for her name & it caused long term issues.
I love the name but what matters the most above anything else is how you and the dad feel about that name. Don’t let other people sway you from what you guys decide to name your child.

Well, since you asked… So in picking a child’s name, consider how other kids will relate to him. Also nick names people will call him. Do you want people to call him Rag? No matter what you ask ppl to call him , there will be those who call him Rag. I was going to name my daughter Olive. Then someone said they might call her Olie. I landed on something else.

Not a bad unisex name for when the school teacher decides their gender identity…
There are better vikings names then that. Just remember your child has to grow up with that name. It is never an easy choice to make but the ultimate decision needs to be agreed on by you and your husband no one else.
To much of watching viking
