Play a ex Blades (Nord) soldier named: Kamal which means "Snow Hell" in the Akaviri tongue.

An ex-Blades soldier, I like that. Someone mentioned using a Norse name. Im going with Jarl Odin. :celebration:

I named mine Jurgen because that was the name I used in WoW for my Paladin. I didn't know it was already used in the game elsewhere. :facepalm:

If you're looking for something to fit the race, anything with a Scandinavian or German tilt will do (first name only - Nords don't utilize family/last names).

Scandinavia old tradition is the son gets his father name with the surfix sen/son so Erik Gormsen his son would be Knud Eriksen, his son would be Karl Knudsen, and so on.

Anything Old Norse or Old Dansk.

My character is called Hjortr, that is Old Norse for Stag. Ofcourse, you could take elements and create you're own name. Ulfbrand, meaning Wolf-balde, I think, you get my point. Even, archaic Anglo-Saxon names. Go with something Germanic and you can't go wrong.

Oh man these names are awful ;)
Mikko? Koivu? Finnish names? For real man? :P

But oh, who im I to tell you what names that fit in the game.
Go on, use Q and W in your names if you belive it fits good.
While youre doing it, why not throw in some cool, very nordic name as Abdullah or Joey?

/Rant Over. :flamethrower:

I always use Svorj the Mighty!

I think it was a name stolen from a character in Morrowind, of which I mispelled.

That's how I usually get my names. :)

I named my warrior Kjartan after a character in an Icelandic saga which I learned from a recent documentary. After looking on the nordic names wiki, I think my next Nord warrior (way in the future) will be called Myrkjartan, which means sea warrior.
