old norse names?

Post by accdntprone »

pretty much what the subject says. Looking for info about 1. old norse names and 2. what modern usage of those names might be. (I.E. what people decended from said old norse name might be calling themselves now)

Sven. And Bjorn. That's really it. There were only 2 norse names. Image

There's a really good SCA article on Norse names, but I don't remember what it's called. But the author's (SCA) name was norse.
