    Man, that’s a stupid name. Poor kid permanently tied to a pop culture reference. Two, if the Loki is referring to Marvel. Naming a kid is not an opportunity to express yourself. If you want people to know you like star wars, get a tattoo. Or a bumper sticker. And then I’ll judge you. But leave the kid out of it.

      How do you think Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Jacob etc feel named after made up Bible characters?

      If you can find a time machine, the braydens, jaydens, aydens, aidens, alicias, felicias, aleeshas, leEverythings, and every intentionally-misspelled version of a normal name, will be spared a lifetime of “it’s like this but spelled like that because my mom sniffed glue” discussions.

        That part really gets me. Why the fuck would you name your kid a name you can’t fucking spell. And before paperwork is submitted there should be a law that steps in and stops the naming.

      It’s probably a reference to Marvel. In the Germanic tradition you a) don’t name kids directly after gods, though gods may make up part of the name, say Thorgeir, Thor’s spear, and b) not after Loki. Between fucking a horse (and getting pregnant) and tying a goat to his balls he really should be off limits.
