Gotta Love the Norse
-
I'm reading the Icelandic sagas right now, and here are some of the choice names from these sagas (written in the 13th century about events in the 9th and 10th centuries):
Gorm the Old
Snorri Sturluson
Odd Ofeigsson
Olvir Hump
Thorolf Blister-pate
and my personal favorite:
Ragnar Shaggy-breeches
You can really see the influence of these sagas on Tolkien once you start reading.
