    Title says it all. Personally, I'd go with Hofgrir Horse-Crusher, Gormlaith Golden-Hilt,  or (if anyone remembers this) Bjorg Deathless.

    Any names you've heard that particularly stand out? It doesn't matter if they were in-game or by another player.

    Grimvar Cruel-Sea and Wuunferth the Unliving are great to me, it really sets the mood of the characters and the culture of a whole - badass but with subtle dark undertones.

    Ulfric Stormcloak, just because Ulfric means Wolf King/Ruler in German, and it sounds so cool. Other than him, there would be too many to name.

    Vorstag and Valdimar. Vorstag because it sounds really intense, like a dragon priest, and he just a mercenary from Markarth. Valdimar because I called him "Vladimir" for weeks after I bought Windstad Manor during my Curator days and I find it far too amusing.

    Real talk though, am I the only one who still remembers Bjorg Deathless? It was my first real contribution here, even if it was just shitposting someone's pic ;-;

    Hmmm, I think it rings a bell but I'm not certain, I've seen a lot of names in a lot of profiles, builds and stories. I had a little hiatus around when you joined, so that might explain why I'm not sure?

    Some guy, ShyGuy I believe, posted a picture of an intense-looking Nord he made named Bjorg Deathless. In the comments, everyone got hyped so some people and I started making Chuck Norris-esque jokes about him.

    Galmar Stone-Fist was pretty great. Love the imagery, great name for an intolerant, rebel Nord. :D

    Mjoll the Lioness for the simple and funny reason that "Mjoll" sounds like "Mjøl" which meand meed in Danish and I find the idea of a drunk lion rather intertaining.

    Aside from character names I also like the name Volskygge (a tomb) because that means "Violent Shadow" also in Danish. Yea, I like when I can detect my Viking-inheritance in video-games ^^

    Ohhhh and I played a nord battlemage called "Tjordéen Runhygga" which is an old sounding version of "Torden Runehugger" which means "Thunder Runecarver". A bit OTT if you understand the name, but I also liek the basic sound. Needless to say Tjordéen Runhygga focused on destruction-lightning spells.
