Unique white wolf, want a suitably RP-appropriate name, hunter is a dwarf male.

That one is a beautiful colour. Hmmm, since dwarves love metals, maybe something based on silver?

Riffing off Wain, what about Alloy or Solder? (Not sure how solder is pronounced in the Queen's English)

In England and Australia we pronounce the 'L'. I believe that Americans pronounce it "sodder"? To me that sounds funnily like "sod off".

If I'm honest with myself, I rhyme solder and water, both somewhere in between d and t.

But sorry, Holgarr, we've gotten off topic. Do 'forge-y' names seem appropriate to you, or were you thinking in a different direction?

Granite looks to fit him..

No, no, it's cool. Having something based on metal or stone fits quite well. Maybe something in another language would work - I tamed Cracklefang way back in Mists, and named him Gromvolk, Russian for "thunder wolf", just as an example.

Hmm, Argent means silver. When I'm at my computer tomorrow, I'll see what else I can come up with.

For some reason I wanna say something involving cold/ice/snow would fit well... but I'm blanking on what.

I have one of these. I named mine "Nymeria" from GoT

Couple of more suggestions with Danish Names

Uvejr - means bad weather in Danish.. general term for any kind of bad weather pref mix with some wind
Sne = Snow
Marmor = Marble
Kalk = Chalk
Rav = Amber
Kulde = Cold
Nattefrost = When it ices over during the night

Neve and Firn are two different types of compacted snow, whose density is somewhere between fresh snow and glacial ice.

Some copypaste from behindthename.com Excellent site for names, I think. I went with things that seem like they go with the zone he's from or with dwarves.
