Also, I think it's a top 50 name in Denmark and Sweden. Rather fashionable in those Nordic countries. Although (apparently) not for Swedish expats. Never met a Viggo when going to the Swedish church or the Swedish association...

This is one of those names where at first sight I'm like, "Um...no." but the more I see it, the more I like it. Definitely going on the "maybe" list.

I love this name, but it's so tied to the actor in my mind. Maybe if I ever meet a Viggo in real life...
CB Says:
I love this name. It's really vivacious and energetic, while also sounding masculine and strong. It's definitely a frontrunner on my boy's list.

Update: I met a young boy named Viggo Artur recently. It was so handsome, gallant, earnest, classic, dignified and slightly offbeat- just perfect on him, that it's really made me love the name Viggo.

From when I've heard Viggo Mortensen pronouncing his name, it's in-between Vih-go & Vee-go. Either way, it's a one-person name for me...& what a person! ; )

A weird name, but a good weird name. Viggo might not be my style yet, but I bet that in a week, I'll be crushing on it

I agree !

I don't see the appeal of this name... somehow I just can't like it.
headintheclouds Says:
I was very intrigued when I first encountered this name. Viggo seems like a very tough macho sort of name, yet also gives an effortlessly cool sort of vibe, with a hint of hipsterism (is this a word? xD). I love its unusual sound and feel, and it's starting to become one of my favorite boy's names- I'm really loving Viggo Theodore at the moment.
+ Also wondering how popular Viggo actually is in the Scandinavian region; whether it's really a dated name or skews younger, etc. I do think Viggo is one of the more accessible and recognizable Scandinavian names for the general public though.

When I hear it it's Vee-go.

Is this pronounced Vih-go or Vee-go? Either way, I'm crushing on it.
I love this name sooo much but the meaning war is very unappealing to me
