Forging Your Nord Name

When naming a Norse character, reflect on:

  • Which mythic or natural element inspires them?
  • Do you want a name that implies strength, wisdom, or ferocity?
  • Should it include traditional Norse suffixes like -son or -dottir?
  • How many syllables fit your world’s cadence?
  • Would a clan or lineage name add depth?
