What about Fred?
Naaah, not Nordic enough.

Try Joey or Carmine.

;-)


OK, just kidding.

YO, OP - a few suggestions:


Ragnar
Conrack (these first two were memorable for me from Rune, a game that got panned by the critics, but which I absolutely LOVED)
Kragnor
Sigurd (truly a name of legend)
Grolf (now THAT is a name for a guy with a low forehead and bulging, boney eyebrows....)
Any of the Gods from the Norse mythos

This should at least get you started. :-)

Nords are still my favorite race to play, it's simply FITTING for a game like this.

Go for a Scandinavian first name and then a surname like Storm-cloak, law-giver, Battle-born, Gray-Mane, Silver-blood etc

Oh hey, another Welsh user!

Sveinsey is a good name.

simply add a 'j' between the 1st and 2nd letter of your intended name.
So, bob = bjob and henry = hjenry

My latest Nord male is named Hasselblad the Obsolete...

What? Why are you staring at me?


LMAO!
Instead of Haselblad the Obsolete you could have Redwon the Epic!

Fred the Nord! I had a temporary "test-Dunmer" named Bill. Bill the Dunmer XD

My Nord's name is Buliwyf, like the Beowulf-esque character from Eaters of the Dead/The 13th Warrior. It's pronounced "Bull-vye" not "Bully-wife."

Norse mythology has some pretty good stuff, too. Go on to Wikipedia and type in something simple like Odin or Loki, skim through the text, and see what other names pop up. It's actually kind of fun.

My first ever TES character was a Nord by the name of Thor. He was as powerful as Thor, too.
My current character is a Nord thief (female) by the name of Carla. Not strictly lore-friendly, but it doesn't bother me.

As stated in that Orc name thread give your character a good title. Makes them even more intimidating.

Morten Steel-Heart was my first Nord character. Just find a Scandinavian first name and apply the hyphenated clan/family name in English.

Henrik Ball-Breaker
Olof Wiggly-Toes
Ragnar Monster-Stabber

Or you could go for descriptive names.

Harald the Ungrateful
Anders the Flatulent
Benny the Mongrel

etc...

Edit: Actually 'Benny the Mongrel' kinda sounds like a mob nickname. I bet he's friends with Johnny No-Fingers.

Nord names?
I called my girl Freyja. Very fitting for a female Nord adventurer ...

Nords are based off.... Nords. Just look for Nord names on Google I guess, that should work.
