Choosing names always used to be the most difficult part of creating a character for me. Then a few years ago I decided to get my names from religion, legends, history, etc... I usually try to pick a name that will fit the character, though it does not always work that way. I have had characters such as Aradia (the Queen of the Witches, from Charles Leland's book), Penthesilea (from Homer), Ancasta, Andrastre, and Babd (from the ancient Celtic religion), Shakit (from Hinduism), Tanit (from the Carthiginian/Phonecians), Hera and Scylla (from the Greeks), Bendis (from the Thracians), Kachina (after the Native American spirit dancers), and so on.
It sounds like a Daedra hunter would the nearest thing to what you are looking to make. Thor might be a good Nord name, as he made a pastime of fighting monsters. Or Gilgamesh. Likewise Heracles. Shiva would probably be a great name for a Khajiit. Or Indra. The Morrigan and Babd were to scary chicks from the Celts. So was Hekate of the Greeks.
