| Clan WA offers new members to create their own Norse Name! In the text below, you are to pick two words. When you have selected two words, you are to combine them and add the WA- tag on it. Here is an Example: Looking at the index below I have choosen "Eld" which means fire and "Olfr" which means wolf. Next, I combine the two words and put the tag on: WA-Eldolfr, a fire wolf. Try picking two words that are of your interest and that is creative Some good examples: "Hring" means ring and "Bori" means to bear/bearer. Putting them together makes WA-Hringbori - Ring bearer. (in reference to Frodo in Lord of the Rings) "Hjor" means Sword and "Steinn" means stone. Putting them together makes WA-Hjorsteinn - sword in the stone. (in reference to King Arthur) Norse Name Index: |
