Rasmus Ole Lyberth is a Greenlandic singer, songwriter and actor. Since 1970, he has been one of the most popular artists in the Greenlandic music scene. His music is well known beyond the borders of Greenland.
This name is used to some extent in Norway, but loads of people giggle or at least smile when they hear the name, because "rass" is a dysphemism for a person's behind, while "mus" both means mouse and is used as a dysphemism for the female genitals... Do the math ;-)

Very common Danish name! I don't really have much of an opinion about it. It's ok, I guess, but rather dull.

This sounds more like a name for a little kid, and it has also been used as a name for a cartoon teddy bear in Finland.
Rasmus is in Swedish considered very cute, and is by most people associated with a very well-behaved and nice boy. This is probably due to a couple of very famous Rasmuses in Swedish fairy-tales and stories. Good choice if you want a Swedish-sounding name for your son!
