I’m stuck on a name for my female norn ranger. I would like to struck to viking names because norn are meant to have vikingy names, also a connection with wolves since I love wolves an that’s what my pet is going to be. On the subject of pets, I also need a wolf name. I was going to do something like Fang or Silver or something like that, so could someone give me a name for my wolf as well.

Freya Wolfkin sounds like a great name for you. Freya is a Nordic goddess, the suffix “kin” indicate as found of, kin of, in that case the wolf.

The wolf name you can change all the time, so I’ll leave it open

(And a really good site for name formation with prefix and suffixes, but the site is down. I’ll come back and edit this if it returns)

I main a norn ranger. Her name is Lindelle Ulfdis. Lindelle is just a common handle I use in MMOs and I thought it worked well enough as a first name. The second is “Wolf Goddess/Seer.” Same as you, I chose wolf and actually collect wolfy things on my ranger, and I went with Goddess as more of a ‘beauty’ reference. So just an example, luckily there are a lot of routes to go.

The name Freya was taken so I chose to have Jorunna Wolfkin, with a wolf called silver, a Snow leopard called frost and an ice drake with no name yet.

Yeah, I imagined such a name would be taken, Jorunna is also a good one

This site is your friend. You could go Something Ulfsdóttir (Wolf’s Daughter), but that would make her family. As far as I know, my Norn is an only child.

Ulfsdóttir implies that her father was called Ulf , Wolfkin or even Ulfkin would make it sound more metaphorical “Wolf’s Daughter”.

Ulfsdóttir implies that her father was called Ulf , Wolfkin or even Ulfkin would make it sound more metaphorical “Wolf’s Daughter”.

“Ulf” – or if you want to be more modern proper and use an old name for wolf rather than what is now a very common name you want to use “Ulv” – is hard to say even for Scandinavians. You gurgle it while using your mouth like you’re gonna kiss someone. Not very threatening.

I prefer “Varg”. No not the silly gothic “Warg” used in GW2 (WAAAAAARRGGGGH!!!). You can more or less yell that out while baring your teeth, just like a wolf. If you try something similar with “Ulv”, you’re yelling something that sounds more like “Öl” instead. Or in English, beer. And you dont want to yell out to your beer to attack the enemy. In German, I believe its oil. Which is even worse. Northern European logic, oil, beer, same thing.

I would instead go with “Vargadóttir” in that case (you need the extra a to make it sound fluent between the two words, just like using s in “Ulfsdóttir”).

As for the pet name, well there are plenty of options. Personally I’d just call my waist high 200kg pet wolf “Gosevargen”. I believe the proper English translation is “Snugglewolf”.

I’ve enjoyed using http://www.vikingsofbjornstad.com/Old_Norse_Dictionary_E2N.shtm

My norn ranger is Ylfa Aetlaveidr, which from that site would roughly be female wolf fated hunter. Her two main pets (mostly so I don’t have to keep typing names in) are Arctic Wolf Issulfr (Ice Wolf) and Raven Blekkrblindr (black/dark blinder). I make no claim to authentic use of the site, I just think of descriptive words for the character or pet then page around to find Old Norse versions that are typeable and pronounceable.

I won’t use special accent keys. That comes under “not typeable” for me.

For your wolves’ names, you could use Geri and Freki (the names of Odin’s wolves)

and for your Raven(s), Huginn and/or Muninn (both if you have the White Raven from Heritage stuff.)
