About the name
Loki is Norse — the shape-shifting trickster whose etymology scholars still argue over (knots? tangles? air?) — god of clever problems and cleverer escapes, lately a Marvel antihero with excellent hair.
Loki has entered the American top 1000 — mythology's most mischievous mainstream arrival.
Two quick syllables that grin. It pairs well with steady middles (Loki James, Loki Alexander). On our vibe map it is Mythological mischief-tier with Whimsical knots and Modern Minimalist escape routes — choose knowing the stories.
