Hi! Just found out we are expecting #2 and have started the name game again.
DS1 is Ronan Eli, and I really like the name Odin, if this one's a boy.
But...Ronan is a name that is in the Marvel movies (Avengers), and Odin is one of the main character's father. I do NOT want a Marvel themed family, lol. I didn't even know that it was Marvel until DH mentioned it.
What are everyone's thoughts? Is Odin terrible? Did you all put the two names with Marvel?
Open to other names, as well! Other name that I like but won't use:
- Nolan (sounds too close to Ronan, IMO)
- Noel (too much chance of mispronunciation, I would love it as a middle though).
Thanks!
Re: Odin
I'd say Odin is, a big name, but not necessarily a bad name. With big brother Ronan it kinda feels a bit trying hard to be cool, cause Odin is Norse whereas Ronan is Irish, or people misspelling Ronin. So, there's a bit of a disconnect.
I like Noel though. People will learn if they mispronounce it at first.
Just some random throwing out if names
Ronan and Trent
Ronan and aLden
Ronan and Elliott
Ronan and Eli
Ronan and Tobias
Ronan and archer
Ronan and Dominic
Ronan and Garrett
Ronan and victor
Ronan and Micah
Baby Boy #1 born 1/9/17
Baby Boy #2 EDD 11/4/18
I like Nolan
If you want a name from mythology, maybe:
Troy
Castor
Finn
Pollux
Jason
Would never know about the Marvel connection, but my mind might wander more toward Dr. Seuss. I think they are just too similar.
Love the suggestion of Nolan nn Noel.
Thanks so much!!
