Last weekend, I met a little boy named Loki. He was a cool little kid (so far he's not much of a trickster ) but I'm not sure that's a name I'd choose. Would you name your child Loki?
I doubt it, while we did think a great deal about what we wanted to name our kids the idea of Loki (or any other sort) never came up. I guess some people just want a truly rare name for their kids.
Someone today asked me about the name Loki! I told him that he shares it with a giant named Utgard-Loki. This probably demonstrates that Loki has more in common with the race of giants than he did with the gods.
I do like Loki, he can be amusing at times, though mostly he comes off as scheming and a little malignant. (And his children include Fenrir and Jormungandr, as a statement to what he's like.) Certainly not someone I'd name my child after.
I would probably consider the name Loki because it just sounds amazing to me, but I also have a dog named Loki so the likely hood of naming my child that have gone down.
