[Opinions] Re: Larkin or Loki?
in reply to a message by esme.evadne
I don’t really care for Larkin but, assuming we’re talking about naming a human - if you’re not Scandinavian, don’t name your kid Loki. Heck, it’s barely even used as a given name here in Denmark. Also, the name Loki/Loke is male. Not female or unisex.
I don’t mean to offend anyone but it weirds me out when non-scandinavians are naming kids after Norse mythology characters because they believe themselves connected to them because they watched some Marvel movies or watched Vikings. It makes more sense in a Scandi context because it’s our cultural heritage.
TLDR: Go with Larkin.
