Guild Wars 2

When I created my two norn toons I used the following site. It is basically an Old Norse dictionary. I would pick out the words that best described my toons background, personality, etc. Example is my Guardian, Grimmr Bjornfugl (Fierce Bear Spirit).

That’s a great tool. I wish I’d known about it sooner, i would have used it to make a better last name for my character.

A site I used that I found good for names — actual old norse names, but it also gives their meaning — is Nordic Names: http://www.nordicnames.de/wiki/Category:Old_Norse_Names

I used it to name my Norn. Her first name is Fonn, which means “snowdrift”… it’s a mythological name, one of the three daughters of Snaer (“snow”).

I’ve used the Viking Answer Lady often myself:

Amazing info sources, thanks a lot! I named my first character Widsith Skitunge :P
