I have used this as the name of a main characters son’s
name. I really love this name. The Norse mythology is very interesting as well.
I decided to use this name because the child’s father Havelock *see on list
of posts* and uncle Ragnar *see on list of
posts* have Viking or Nordic names so I found Odin fitting. It is a very
strong name with good strong meanings. The pronunciations are super easy and
the name looks interesting as well.
