Help[Opinions] Canute
What do you think of this name? This it could work in modern day life? I find it so sturdy and tidy, like a neat little package wrapped up tight and smooth. Feel free to think of combos if you like!

I swear I just saw the title of this thread moments ago. I was thinking about putting Canute / Knut in a combination on one of my polls this morning. Total coincidence. Wow. Freaky.
Sure. I can see Canute working for a child today. The spelling would be easier than Knut, although the knuckle-y charm of the Knut spelling attracts me more, sorry.
Jesse Canute (immediately popped to mind)
Canute Eli
Canute Hector
Canute Alfred
Canute Somerled
Canute Roland
Canute Aubrey
Canute Frederick
Canute Stephen
Canute Wulfric
Canute Rayner
Canute Moritz
Canute Erasmus
Canute Magnus (Great Canute!)
Canute Roderick
Canute Soren
Canute Morgan
Canute Angus
Canute Fergus
Canute Malachy ("-kee")

It took me a few minutes of saying it to myself, but I must say I like it. Maybe because it has a similar sound as Anouk (one of my favorite girl names). Not sure what style of mn you are looking for, but here are a few I think sound nice:
Canute Alexander
Canute Phillip
Canute Wilfred
Canute Richard
Canute Simon
Canute Alfred
Canute Nehemiah
Hope that helps! :p

I find Canute to be very funny and awesome, but I can't see it on a person nowadays because it has really strong viking connotations. I would love it on a cat though.

It's alright. It makes me think of Knute Rockne, so it's a very strong and athletic name. I like the way Canute looks more, though. It's more friendly and open than Knute. I think Canute would go really well with something nice and friendly, to sort of play on that aspect of it more. Canute Michael is the first that came to mind, and while it might be easy, I really like it. Others...
Canute Adam - like!
Canute Christopher
Canute Davis
Canute Robin - ooh, I like this too!
Canute Samuel

It looks like too many things to me. Is it a brand name? A food? A fabric? An instrument? An action? Meh.
I would just go with Knut, although the famous polar bear makes that seem a little silly. :-) Still, I think Knut looks fine and way more namey. I like short, stocky little names like that.
...then again, Knut and Cnut are dangerously close to being arranged into a vulgar euphemism (if not in spelling for Knut, at least in sound). Darn.

In the US, I think Knute Rockne would come to mind first.

Green Bay is obsessed with football.
I should know, I know a few people who used to live in that area.

Maybe Green Bay is just too football obsessed (edited)
I had to look him up, since I've heard the name so many times, but know nothing about him. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knute_Rockne There's a movie about him, which may be why I've heard of him too.
ps- I read the full artilce, and Reagan was in the movie, his most famous role as George Gipp "Win one for the Gipper." He's the first president I remember, and I heard that line a lot towards the end of his second term, and it was used by the Republican Party to help get George H W Bush elected.

Wisconsin, Minnesota and North Dakota
This area was settled by Swedes, Norwegians and Germans. It's more or less a separate world in many, many ways.
We have our own jokes (Ole & Lena, Sven & Ole), our own words (Uffda), our own foods (lefse, lutefisk, knoephla), etc. So yah, most people would have no idea of stereotypes of "Swedish" or "Norwegian" names.
It's a good thing, though - you guys get to use good names without the baggage.

I like the sound of it too, and it's a fun story. But sadly in histories nowadays, they tend to spell him Cnut, which is a bit off-putting.

I bet it is more authentic that way, but not nearly as fun. Authenticity be damned!

I don't think it's usable. Isn't it also a fancy word for "white haired"?
1
Hmm, if it is, I've never heard that!
