How do you pronounce Loki?

[PunkyPod]

Basically that....

Is it:
Low-ki (long first syllable)
Lo-ki (short first syllable)

Thanks!

[ButterflyOfFreedom]

I'd say the second one - Lo-ki.

[atticusclaw]

I'm scared that this question is under the topic of baby names…….

[SloanePeterson]

It's pronounced 'mother please don't do it, I'm an innocent child.'

[fledermaus]

It was Low-key in that movie with Matt Damon. Isn't it the name of a Norse god?

[ilovepowerhoop]

a friend on facebook has a dog with that name!

[Trazzletoes]

It's like low-key.

[Artandco]

Use it as a middle name. It's fine

[BettyBolognese]

If it Loki as in the avengers... Then it's Low-key.

[Trazzletoes]

Also generally not a. Attractive character. See anything to do with The Avengers. Or that film with Matt Damon, Ben Affleck and Alanis Morrissette as God.

[GalaxyInMyPants]

As in I went to a very low key wedding last week.

[atticusclaw]

just don't. Please don't.

[StrangeGlue]

Low-key

[Aethelfleda]

Er- it's low-key, but seriously, read your Norse Myths before you pick it! He's the trickster god who is mischievous as hell, happily made everyone's lives miserable and ended up trapped, bound and writhing in agony as serpent's venom endlessely poured into his eyes for all eternity until worlds' end....

[Sophronia]

Low-key

[AnguaResurgam]

I've only ever heard Low-ki (for both the god and the anti-aircraft and monitoring system).

[CollieEye]

My dog is a Loki. She was a mischievous pup, it suits her.

It's your child, but you will always see raised eyebrows from those who recognise the name.

[noblegiraffe]

Low key. As in the Norse god who turns into a female horse and gives birth to an eight-legged horse after being impregnated by a stallion.

Also the baddie in Thor and the Avengers films.

Possibly not a good choice.

[frolicsandfiddledeedees]

I had a fling with someone once who had a child called Loki. God knows why, his other DC had a really really normal boring name.

Anyway. No, OP, just no!

[scottishmummy]

With scottish accent lookey

[PrincessOfChina]

It's a wine tasting shop in Birmingham so if you used it near me I'd think you'd had a good night out.

[Realitybitesyourbum]

but what if people think your child is called Lochia if they hear you calling them?
not a chance you want to take!!!

[thatstoast]

I think the difference between Loki and Lochia in terms of the 'call across the park' test is minimal.

Still I would pronounce it 'Low-Key'

[thatstoast]

Wait, I feel like my last post could be misinterpreted as recommending Lochia. I'm not.

[impatienceisavirtue]

We had a dog called Loki too. Please don't do it.

[scottishmummy]

Lochia has prouniunced ch, lowki is lookey
Different words
Id not want to be shouting either frankly
