2 vikings invents new norse personal names

viking 1: you know one can never overstate protective names. Like, there is no limit for HOW protective the name should be, right?

viking 2: you are right! How about a name that mentions BOTH thor and frey? Like why make a choice when ones child could mention 2 gods!

viking 1: yeah! Like Ingetora! Problem though, none of us are particulary devoted to either of those gods….

viking 2: true…. how about then! Compound names? 2 words with a diret meaning paired togheter? I can see it already. Ingrid, from the build - blocks ing= Frey + frid= beloved. The name would be like. Beloved by frey. Thats nice right?

viking 1: true true. Very nice. One can never overstate how much we want the gods tö protect people!

viking 2: although tbh, this person we are soppused to invent a name for, did you know their father was danish?

viking 1 and viking 2 in one voice: well then this person will just be called Halvdan, which translate to half - danish. poetic names are nice and all, but sometimes one is just. Very literal.
