Lars as a name in the US? Found out recently we're having a boy and I'm particularly interesting in Scandinavian/Germanic names as my husband is of Danish descent (his grandmother was first generation American) and I have some German ancestry (not recent). We also want a name that is known but not one of the top trending names. I suggested the name Lars because I like that name, but I'm wondering if it would be weird to use in the Midwestern US, since neither of us are directly European? Also open to similar names.
