I have dozens of irish names running through my head for some reason O_O

This might help out. It's a name generator specifically for races from the Elder Scrolls.

The results are a great starting point for me to alter the letters or sounds until I have a solid name that I like.

ODIN

anyway i will be a khajit named cortes so...

Lol "Hurg"

Search english Wikipedia for "Germanic name", a lot of good nordic names there.

to feel my character more mine i ever code my name on his name, like the starwars formula not exactly that formula because in that formula the names sounds awful but you know something that sounds like your name or that you know your name is on it although it sounds diferent.

Thanks! So apparently Nords are generally just referred to by one name, like xxx the white.

In that case I'll just go with "Kjestrup the brave" or something lol.

I'd recommend using a concise dictionary of Old Icelandic, useful for inventing your Nord a "meaningful" name
There also is a list of Old Icelandic proper names Feel free to choose

The dictionary is in English. The letters at the top of the page can be used to navigate.
As for the proper names, I believe there are Old Icelandic variants given The Russian translation is the same words, rewritten in Cyrillic. One can use Google translator to translate things from Old Icelandic into English, too, if one is eager to learn the meaning of a name

oooh, found an awesome female name: enda

Yeah English>Icelandic makes cooler words than English>Danish.

Mountain Man -> Fjall Maour

Strength -> Styrkur

Awesome -> ognvekjandi (lol)

chosen one -> utvalda

And that name resource thing is brilliant!

"Utvalda" means "chosen" in plural, and wouldn't make a very good name. At least that's what it means in Swedish, and presumably in Danish and Norwegian too. A translate of "Chosen One" would be more like "Utvalde", preferably "*insert first name* den Utvalde" (hinn útvaldi in Icelandic).

Edit: I found myself playing with google translate myself, looking for cool Icelandic words. Eldfjall is my favorite so far, meaning volcano.

Well, being danish I can tell you I know about 10 different Daniels (maybe even more) it's a very common danish name. Well it might not be danish of origin, but it is a popular name in Denmark.

As far as name suggestions are concerned, you could always stick with a norwegian, swedish or danish name. If you feel that your danish ancestroy is strong in your blood then you could go with one of these names;
Jens, Olav, Oluf, Hans, Orla, Ole, Peter, Frederik, Kristian, Rasmus, Jan, Niels, Henrik, Anders, Aage, Mads (a great name, my name he he he he)
Well.. these are all men's name btw..
I hope you find this helpful.

Hat-Drinks-Alot.

or HoMie-Drinks-Alot


a wild, raging nord, who wears, a hat. ^_^

Keld. There was a guy in Cheydinhal with that name, and I thought it was awesome.

Oh really? I mean, Daniel wasn't exactly used by the ancient vikings right? Yeah I know pretty much nothing about Denmark despite having heritage.

Thanks for the names, but I think I might go with Dagfinnr. Is that at all common? Apparently it's day-wanderer in Icelandic or something.

My first character will be a nordic lass of a snow-Ranger-y persuasion, and because I've allways liked the name I'm going to take from mythology and call her Sigilinde.

Though names I like from the generator are:

Male
Toralf
Hallvaror
Sattir
Rolf

Female
Runa
Rannveig
Dalla
Anja

Bob
