  1. I love the name! It sounds cute, yet professional when he gets older. I wanted something different we don’t hear all the time. I have never met another Thayer other than my own. He has a not very popular middle name and it flows nicely. A lot of people call him Thor or Slayer in error sometimes. It’s unique!

    • I’ve never seen another Thayer other than my self. I also get called Thor and Slayer. I think that’s awesome that me and your son have the same experience.
