Norse god names!

Unread post by scottyy »

Ok so I want to name all of my pets after Norse gods, I know that Skoll is one of the only ones tameable in game. Skoll is the son of the wolf god Fenrir. I`m not sure about any others but I would like some input on names. ANy name that you think is attractive and has to do with Norse gods, looking for a lot of input here!

Though it's not the name of a god, there's also Mjolnir. Mjolnir was Thor's hammer and when a friend suggested it as a name after I tamed Skoll, I felt it kind of fitting.

From wikipedia: "... would be able to strike as firmly as he wanted, whatever his aim, and the hammer would never fail, and if he threw it at something, it would never miss and never fly so far from his hand that it would not find its way back, and when he wanted, it would be so small that it could be carried inside his tunic..."

It seemed like a good name for a hunter pet.
