Ulfen Surnames

[captlobi]

I am playing a bard Skuld with Ulfen ancestry. What would an Ulfen surname sound like?

You can use translate.google.com for stuff like this. In my case, last night I came up with an English-to-Icelandic translation that worked for an Ulfen name.

Character has become Afhendingu Hratt. Means "delivery, fast".

To nitpick somewhat:

It's "skald" actually, a talespinner of sorts. "Skuld" is one of the Norns, along with Verdandi and Urd.

I'm actually playing a Ulfen shieldmaiden in PFS, Solveig(old, iirc, German name) Meginsdottir, or "daughter of Megin".

Where's AM BARBARIAN when you need him? Im sure he would have some great insight.

Look on 20000-names.com:

http://www.20000-names.com/male_norse_names.htm

You could take one from the list, recombine syllables, or check lists from related ethnic groups like Scandinavian, German, Danish, etc. You can take a modern name and trace it to its roots to come up with a more exotic version, such as Henry-Heinrich-Heimrik.

For the surname, take a syllable from the first name list and add -ssen if male or -dottir if female.

This site has a decent overview: http://www.vikinganswerlady.com/ONNames.shtml

I named my PFS Ulfen ranger Ívarr Ulfrikssen. The first name means "bow-warrior" (he's an archer), and the surname is wolf-ruler's-son. He isn't actually the some of a current ruler, but his family has kept the name for a few generations from the point that they were descended from a king.
