My son's names are Søren (born 2012) and Viggø (2015). They are half french, half polish and the choice of their names come from my husband and my fascination with skandanavian culture. Plus, as I can't pronounce french names, nor can my husband pronounce polish, the choice of Scandinavian names made our lives easier ;)

It is unlikely that I would ever use it as a sole name, but I can certainly see myself putting "Viggo" into play as a nickname.
When I lay my eyes upon it, I feel that it is very stimulating and noble; in great possession of strength and respect. It is pleasant to both the eye and ear-- a quality that is increasingly difficult to encounter (with all of the 'kre8tivitee' going on, nowadays.)
Like the poster above, I find it astonishing that popularity surrounding it has not yet taken off... although, I am grateful, for I would never use it if it became the next "Jacob" or "Milo."

I instinctively want to pronounce this name as VIGG-o rather than VEE-go. This is a spunky name and I'm surprised that it hasn't taken off yet in English speaking nations. 'V' is a hot letter and the 'O' ending appeals to many - I think all it would take would be a celebrity more in the limelight than Taylor Hanson to use this for it to come to attention.

Viggo is an old Scandinavian name dating back to the Viking age. The short form of the name "Vig(en)" or "Vik(en)" refers to the English word for (the) inlet or (the) bay; not war, as incorrectly stated on this website. The young men from "Viken" is from where the name "Viking" came about and where the Viking ships were launched.
Back to "Viggo," the youngest and most handsome Viking on the Viking ship, bore the name Viggo, full of vigor, vigorous if you will, etc.
