Rolf and Tor are pretty common names here in Sweden. One of my uncles, who is no longer with us, was named Rolf.

Thor is actually a normal Scandanavian name. Or at least, it was for a long ass time.

Pretty sure it was still used long, long after that. Scandinavia didn't adopt Christianity in the same way that places like France or England did. Christian beliefs didn't replace Germanic beliefs instantly. Instead they were sort of added to them, with Germanic creatures, gods, and heroes still appearing, albeit under a Christian guise.

They adopted it enough that names like John, Magnus and Alexander became more common.

Never said they didn't. I pointed out Thor is a common Scandinavian name. You said it was until they converted to Christianity. I pointed out you were wrong because it continues to be a common name even past the 14th-15th centuries.

That's not what you were saying, but there is literally more people listed than people named Carter.

Also;

Literally more popular than Kristoff and two forms of it are in the top 100.

That is pretty much what I was saying. Also didn't know we agreed Carter was a common first name.

Saying that they stopped used Thor after Christianity came to Scandinavia is factually wrong. What you said is provably wrong. Thor is almost as common as Tommy in Scandinavia.

That's it, that is all there is too it. Thor is factually still common in Scandinavia and Christianity did not stop it. I'm not even sure what the fuck you are arguing at this point.

That doesn't mean they stopped using it. Don't put words in my mouth, you would have a cow if I did that to you.

Isn't that what you just did?

Anyway, I wasn't putting words into your mouth. How would you read this, "That was actually a really common name for a long time, then they adopted Christianity"? I'm not adding anything or embellishing, those are your exact words. The word "then" specifically denotes that what follows it came after what came before it; specifically, that it was a common name and then they adopted Christianity.

Actually, what was the point of even saying "then they adopted Christianity"? What were you trying to indicate with that if it was not that the name stopped being common once Christianity was introduced?

I was being boring tbh. Arguing over how popular the name "Thunder" is pretty trivial. I didnt think this dude would be capable of leaving, so I entertained myself.
