**Edna Goatflatenner** With a surname like that I wouldn’t _mind_ if I just had my fathers name and was surnamed Haroldsdottir. Harold was a good Viking name anyway. ---

Páll Bearmangler You’re a doughty, stalwart Viking. You have a thirst for battle, and tend to strike first and think later. You’re not a “berserker”, but you’re among the toughest sane Vikings around. You can handle long sea voyages easily, despite the lack of amenities. You possess some skills which other Vikings respect. You don’t have a lot of tact, so it’s lucky Vikings never cared much for diplomacy. Other people tend to think of you as manipulative and conniving. ---

Heiðr Kaðlín Bonesbane I found out that I could get my first name and middle name and put them together. Therefore, my name’s longer than your name! NAH NAH! NAH NAH NAH!!! ---

> [@](#): > > Your Viking Name is… > Þórodda Foemangler > (Well, actually, that wouldn’t really be your name – since you’re female, your name would be something like “Þórodda Björnsdottir”. But this is the twenty-first century, and you want to be known for who you are, not for who your father was, right? Right.) > > Your Viking Personality: You’re a doughty, stalwart Viking, or at least you would be if you were male. You have a thirst for battle, and tend to strike first and think later.

\*\*Ketilbjörn Quickjaw \*\* Your Viking Personality: The tougher Vikings might let you on the boat, but generally only when they need ballast. Unlike most Vikings, you don’t have a quick temper; you tend to think about your actions before you undertake them. Sometimes you think too long. You probably know which end of a sword to hold, but you’re not a fearsome fighter by any stretch of the imagination. You might grumble a bit at the lack of amenities on board a Viking longboat, but you can handle it. You possess some skills which other Vikings respect. People who’ve known you for a while don’t always trust your word. Due to your gregariousness, you don’t strike fear into the hearts of your victims. Try to be a little more surly in the future. ---

Wulfflattener?! What am I, some road-kill maniac?! Well, right, there _was_ that one time… 😉 > [@](#): > > Your Viking Personality: You’re a doughty, stalwart Viking. Both your friends and your enemies think you’re a little weird. As a Viking, you’re one of the “berserkers”, and rush into battle with no clothes on. If the sight of you naked isn’t enough to disable the enemy, your sword certainly will be. A _little_ weird? Hah! They don’t know the half of it! > [@](#): > > You can handle long sea voyages easily, despite the lack of amenities. You possess some skills which other Vikings respect, though in your case their respect is tinged with fear. Heh! They’ve _no FARGIN’ idea_ how right they are…! (74 days in a row, submerged. No fargin’ wonder I’m weird!) > [@](#): > > You don’t have a lot of tact, so it’s lucky Vikings never cared much for diplomacy. Well, duh!
