[name]Hi[/name]! I voted for Amund [name]Theodor[/name] [name]Johnson[/name]. I love a longer middle! 
Is Amund pronounced [name]Ah[/name]-mund, AY (long A)-mund, or Am (like the word “am”)-mund? And how cool that it’s close to [name]Raymond[/name], too!
Take care!
We are thinking [name]Long[/name] A - Ay-mund. Sounds like [name]Raymond[/name] that way. Thanks for your input!
Amund is such a cool name! It’s very different, but its sound is familiar and accepted; it’s a perfect balance and a great choice, especially how it subtly honors your father. I’m surprised that I like it so much, actually.
I voted for Amund [name]Thomas[/name]. I think it’s important to offset Amund with a very traditional middle–it makes for a dashingly handsome combo.
I [name]LOVE[/name] Amund!! As noted on another thread, Amund is my all-time favorite Norwegian boys’ name. Great choice!!
I like Amund [name]Theodor[/name] best, followed by Amund [name]Frederik[/name], and then Amund [name]Thor[/name].
As for [name]Thomas[/name], it’s a fine name, but I am not as fond of of that combination due to the identical vowel sound in [name]Thomas[/name] and [name]Johnson[/name].
Amund is comprised of familiar components – yet the combination is very fresh and handsome – perfect to go with [name]Johnson[/name]!! I think you found the perfect boy name!
You must update us once the little one arrives!!
Thanks Everwaiteing, Right now we are leaning toward [name]Theodor[/name] which has so many nn options, and [name]Thomas[/name]. [name]Thomas[/name] is in my Wife’s father’s side, and I was a big Magnum P.I. fan back in the day
We are due in [name]October[/name] so we’ll see how many more times I flip-flop before then. We are also going to Norway for the first time in [name]June[/name] so we might find other names we like while there. But for now we’re solid on ‘Amund’. Our girl choice is ‘[name]Elena[/name] [name]Marit[/name]’.
Amund is an awesome name! I love it! I voted for Amund [name]Thor[/name], mostly because I love [name]Thor[/name], but [name]Theodore[/name] is probably the best sounding to my ears! Wonderful!
I can’t remember – are you planning on finding out the gender beforehand?
I also love [name]Elena[/name] [name]Marit[/name] for the record! 
Aymund with the long “a” sound is very cool. [name]Love[/name] it. [name]Theodor[/name] without the “e” is cool, too! [name]Love[/name] [name]Frederick[/name], can’t remember the Scandinavian spelling. [name]Love[/name] [name]Thomas[/name] - one of my very favorites. [name]Theodore[/name] is also one of my favorites, so I love [name]Theodor[/name], too.

Yes, we can’t wait to find out the gender!! Probably another six weeks or so. We’ll let you know when we find out.
I didn’t vote on any of the options, they’re all lovely
I did however add Amund’s Norwegian pronunciation to Forvo.com for you so you can hear how it would be pronounced in Norway
Amund pronunciation: How to pronounce Amund in Norwegian
I babysit a little 2 year old named Amund and he is the cutest boy ever and one of my favourite friends, so I have nothing but good things to say about the name. I also prefer it over [name]Thor[/name] since [name]Thor[/name] is a burly macho man to me for some reason. Same with [name]Odin[/name], [name]Zeus[/name] and such as well, but I guess it’s to be expected to some extent
[name]EDIT[/name]: I just saw Amund [name]Henrik[/name] was an option on the poll so I voted for that! [name]Henrik[/name] [name]Ibsen[/name] is a fantastic namesake, and [name]Henrik[/name] is an awesome name! ^^
Very cool Dearest! Thanks for doing that for us. Thought we’d have to wait until our Norway trip to hear the true pn.
Oh, that is so cool to find out how Amund is pronounced!!
*** Dearest, I am posting a request on Talk About Names forum for additional Norwegian name pronunciations, if you don’t mind.
