• Thor Dog Names: The Thunder God, the Marvel Hero, and the Whole Norse Kennel

  Two Thors share one name -- the red-bearded thunder god of the old Norse and the blond Avenger of the screen -- and which one you mean quietly shapes every name you choose around it. This guide runs the comparison the whole way through. It sets the god of the Eddas, who rides a goat-drawn chariot and whose name simply means thunder, beside the Marvel hero, and finds the same big-hearted strength in both. It puts Odin and Loki on both sides of the family at once, the allfather and the trickster who are father and brother in myth and screen alike. It gathers the warriors and shield-maidens who surround the gods -- Bjorn, Ragnar, Erik, Leif, Magnus, Gunnar, Sven, Olaf, Astrid, Ingrid, Sigrid, Valkyrie -- and the wilder animal-omens of the north, Wolf, Bear and Raven. It closes with the weather the god rules, Thunder, Storm, Bolt, Blaze and Titan. A strong, accurate kennel for the big dog who booms.
