A great amount of us likely spent last night slowly awaiting for Steam to break the chains on Skyrim: Special Edition. If you were lucky enough to be living in a more reasonable timezone around then, you either came in knowing you'd lose some sleep that night or opt to run the unlock and call it a day. Regardless; you're in. You're in and your Nord needs a name.
Whether you opted to play as one or not, there's always a handy generator ready to drip-feed you some classy character titles that fall more in-line with Bethesda's official naming conventions. So hold off on bringing Buttwings McGee into the now 20% shinier Skyrim and give a Nord the head-start in life they oh-so-desperately need.
Though you could likely use the site for any kind of name for your fantasy character - should it be for a novella, Dungeons & Dragons campaign or even that bengal tiger you really shouldn't have in the house, FantasyNameGenerators have a system in place to properly name your Nord. It even gives additional suggestions for the Elder Scrolls titles which mix up the naming convention a little. So how about it? For the men we have classics like;
- Kibenar Hairy-Fist
- Merach Silver-Wish
- Hlormk Copper-Brand
- Yrsfyg Bear-Winter
- Abbaten Roarer
- Joftelm the Tiny
- Drynldr the Colossus
- Jyrgrir Jargenrsen
- Ysgrerd Flat-Bandit
- Eriknjar Ingrorinsen
- Emfrgvild Ironkettle
- Isgeella Broken-Leg
- Bryerd Cabbage-Killer
- Thaeke Maiden-Toe
- Lameror Crow
- Aegfrodi White
- Gwennhild the Quiet
- Sisthe Alaensdottir
- Hjolreir Honey-Tamer
- Barrtred Jurgarkedottir

A man is never ashamed of his hairy hands. So much so that a magic-wielding Viking can slay 4 dragons and be known for nothing more than having puberty centralize around his digits. So it's only fair the lady Nords of Skyrim can exact the same flavor of justice - warranted or not - with an equally appropriate title, right? Can they live up to their pre-issued legacy? Take your chances;
</ul>
Born on a farm, Bryerd never quite managed to show the same potential in tiling the fields as her brother Joftelm the Tiny. Maybe his proportionally tiny hands just made for more precise motions along the soil. Either way, Bryerd slaughtered many a cabbage in a fit of rage, causing her single Father to exclude her from the family legacy. Those cabbage killings eventually turned to watermelons - and later? A single wedge of cheese. A notorious path of revenge that led her to a life in shackles.
Though it's still a better title than Hjolreir Honey-Tamer.
If you're somehow looking for something a little different than the gems up above, check out the generator for yourself. All hand-picked like the cabbages of Joftelm's farm, they represent some of the finest Nord names you're likely to bear witness. But there's no harm in skimming through yourself.
