Chef Wulfen Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 I'm going to be putting together a 13th company tdawing and I'm trying to figure out what to use as last name for my wolf lord that will be used for my rune priest. In my back store there will be 3 brother my wolf lord is Odin , the middle is Vili the rune priest and the youngest is Vé and he will be encased in a contemptor dreadnought. My issue is I can't figure out a good last name for them. If anyone has some ideas I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks all.

Plaguecaster Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Here is a really good Viking name generator http://fantasynamegenerators.com/viking_names.php#.UTmbERyNmSq it generates 10 different names each time it will be perfect for finding a last name you like. I like Bjornson meaning son of bear it sounds pretty good Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/272467-trying-to-find-last-name-for-my-lord-and-his-brothers/#findComment-3323334 Share on other sites More sharing options...

SamWasKing Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 It's a bit cheap but Skyrim has some good Viking names. I'm Amway a fan of "something the something" for Vikings. Translating words from a Scandinavian is good too for example my WGBL leader is called Herrevakt the hansome. Which literally means Lordguard in Swedish.

Cate Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 *Shudder* Internet translating programs. *Shudder* If I would translate "Herrvakt" to English it would be more of Guardman or Misterguard, a guard of a lord would be closer to Hövding väktare. If anyone needs something English translated into Swedish, use me instead. If you need Scandinavian "viking" names here is a good site, most of the names are taken from the poetic Edda, a collection of poems and stories taken from Iceland and Norway 800-1000 BC. http://hem2.passagen.se/peter9/eddaindex.html , I am not sure if the names are 100% right, but who cares they sound Vikingish. The names are in alphabetical order, there are both female and male names under each section, a good rule for not picking a female name is that many female name ends with vowel, but they can still end with a consonant as in Sif/Siv wife of Tor. When it comes to the OPs question, either you go traditional and call them "fathers name +son" or something that can trace back to the brothers history, like Axebrother, Ironbrother or something similar as last name/title. Just my ideas. /C Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/272467-trying-to-find-last-name-for-my-lord-and-his-brothers/#findComment-3323925 Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSniperMonkey Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Here is quite a good list of Viking names: http://regia.org/members/names.htm#VikM They have Saxon names above too if you wan't a slightly different take on it.

Wulfebane Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Viking and Saxon and Swedish, etc are all fine... but look at traditional Space Wolf wolflord surnames? They're more wolf/hunt-oriented than viking.

TheSniperMonkey Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 True. But I must admit, I like the Saxon/Viking theme myself.
