Sounds like a viking.

Thor's bear? You can't tell right now, but I'm getting all misty eyed. What a darling meaning. :-)

Unfortunately, I can't say the name out loud without giggling either. But that's my (non-Minnesota) U.S. accent getting in the way. I'm sure a native speaker can pull it off beautifully.

---

And that's the problem for me. It depends on where you want to raise your little Thor's cub. Bjorn Olav would be tough enough. But Torbjorn Olav is asking for trouble, here in non-Minnesota U.S. that is. Erik Torvald is terrific anywhere.

Wait. TORbjorn. TORvald. I just found a way to object to the combos without revealing my cultural limitations. They both contain "tor / Thor." Too same-y. See? It's not me. It's the combos.

But oh. "Thor's bear" is too sweet to pass up. What to do, what to do? (Where's the honey . . . ?)

I like it. Cool meaning too. I think Olav Torbjorn might fit better with Erik Torvald though.
