    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.

    Finally, someone else who understands names like me.

    I like the name that I gave my character; Cuyler the Scout. The Norse meaning of Cuyler translates to 'Archer' or 'Man with a bow' and he uses Archery as a Major Skill. His title 'the Scout' comes from his abilities to hunt, track and survey both people and landscapes alike. 

    But, a name that that is already in game that is my favourite probably has to be Dengeir of Stuhn cos it sounds really noble but menacing.

    I always feel like there's menacing connotations under a lot of Nord names, its one of my favourite things about them.

    And an honorable mention to Wulf Wild-Blood, no exlanation needed.
