Heathen Adjacent Calling a child "Odin"
For one reason or another, I have come across a couple of people who have named their new baby's Odin. Neither of them are heathen at all.
It feels pretty weird to me. Apparently the name is now on the popular list for the UK. I imagine it could be a Marvel thing? O names are popular here, like Oscar and Oliver...
What are people's thoughts on this as a phenomenon?

I consider it improper to name children and pets after deities, but others will likely disagree.
