Apparently it was a compromise between my parents, back when they actually agreed on stuff. Has a gritty ring to it, right? Much better than my actual name, which is just Wyatt. I’m sure girls would still laugh when I accidentally broke a pencil in my big clumsy paws, but it would be a flirty laugh, like a giggle, and they’d say, “Oh, Thor, your giant hands are so strong…” and I’d reply, “Well, you know what they say about guys with big hands…” and they’d grin and be like, “What “do they say about guys with big hands?” and I’d be like, “Greater risk for cancer” or something equally stupid because I’m so awkward around girls I blow it even in my fantasies. ![]() Like, as a Thor, I’d proudly lumber down the hall and cute girls would stop and think, There goes 260 pounds of twisted steel and sex appeal, rather than what they think now, which is probably more like, There goes 260 pounds of cheese cubes and man boobs. Thor is a beefy name and it would’ve fit me well since I’m a pretty beefy dude. And you know what? As ridiculous as the name sounds, I kind of wish it was mine. I guess I’ll start with how my parents came this close to naming me Thor. ![]()
