Well, I love the name and I didn’t assume they named their new son after Viggo Mortenson. Not even Mariah Carey, either.
Viggo is such a strong masculine name if I haven’t said it enough already. Plus it’s nice to see parents unafraid of choosing a name they love and sticking with it, even if it’s a name already known in Hollywood.
I am jealous because I could never use it with our family name combo
Well done to them!

“We were thinking of other Biblical names like Josiah and Jeremiah that to us sounded so masculine.”

I find this amusing because in Israel Moriah is a name for girls…

Viggo is a cute name though and it will be great if the kid will be as multi-talented as Viggo Mortensen!

I think its wonderful when people choose first names that reflect their ethnic heritage, like my mother chose for me. The Hansons are Danish on their father’s side and very proud of it. Good work, Taylor and Natalie-the name is adorable!

So far all 3 Hanson brothers have proved (IMO) to choose beautiful and meaningful names. I just can’t get enough of this family, I looooove them.

Ooh, love to see another name fan! Haha, I have a baby book for names and am constantly thinking of names for my future kids (which is a loooong way down the road!). I’m glad I’m not the only one who does that.

I KNEW IT! After the news broke, I was facebooking to a friend about it and told her, “Viggo is probably a throw back to [Hanson's] ancestrial homeland.” and “Mount Moriah was the place God told Abraham to go build an alter so that he could sacrifice his son, Isaac.” I don’t know why it tickels me so much that I got the meaning of the name right, but it does.

I also love that Natalie as big of a baby name fan as I am! Drives my hubby nuts, but I am constantly thinking up names we will obviously never get to use (unless we have as many kids as the Duggars.) lol.

Love Natalie Hanson. She seems like such a class act. Not a huge fan of the name, but I love that they found it by going through ancestry records – my sister and I do that all the time! As well as “pouring” through the baby name books. I love doing that!

She’s amazing. Congrats to the Hanson family – I can’t wait for even more adorable babies!
