I absolutely love the name, Aragorn. I think it’s handsome, strong, and bold, I am a huge fan of JRR Tolkien and love his names, if I had a son, I want Aragorn as his middle name because it would be so cool and unique for him! Also, I just love any middle earth name!

Nice name for your fictional character or pet, but not a great idea idea for a real person.

I love this name! And not just because of the books. It sounds so handsome and has an air of authority to it. I might name my next son this, our last name being Strider. I think it would be really cool. Most people think because it is straight from books it can't be used... But what about Jessica? The name Jessica was actually made up by Shakespeare for a character in The Merchant of Venice and it is VERY popular nowadays! Maybe if more people use the name Aragorn it will become like Jessica did. If you like it use it... simple.
"Aragorn"... It almost possesses a Norwegian taste to it. I personally find this to be an increasingly rugged, handsome name. Mr. Tolkien shows his genius through his entire work, including the namings. Unfortunately, my opinion about strict Literature-created names still stands strong-- Unusable. That is a shame, too. Perhaps if a clever diminutive was devised, it may be acceptable. But grade school children are mercilessly cruel, and I would not be surprised to find the professional world to act the same way.
"Aragorn" is a good name if you want to name a son after a character from Tolkien's "The Lord of the Rings" but I wouldn't do it without giving the poor kid a nickname, too.
