I thought this was kind of fun (not that I think it would be all that much of a thrill to be a bona fide Viking, of course, but that's another matter altogether...). This Link will allow you to know what they might call you were you Icelandic and such....

Hereafter, you may refer to me as Sigmund the Bloody, if you don't mind !
I put my arch-enemy's name in and it came back Úlf , the One who will be killed before the opening credits start when Hollywood makes the movie version of this raid ~ and I'm not making that up, either! Priceless.

First name alone I am:

Groa The Ill_Starred

Both names I am :

Porkatla The Ready In Five Minutes

I have had to be ready in five minutes a few times so that part fits but the Ill-Starred doesnt sound like me.

Whoa!

I entered my first name and, thank you very much! , now I'm:

Magga the Lousy

But I added my surname too and things got sooo much better:

Thorgerthr the Serial Arsonist

But I guess they aren't too friendly when it comes to foreign names.

For my first name only:

'Þórdís the Ill-starred'

But for both names together:

'Sigríðr the Drunk'

I have never been even close to drunk!

Thanks Gatsby, that was fun.

HENDINIHO13 , is there some reason why you post in capital letters? People consider that to be shouting and it is very irritating. Please type in lower case. Thanks.

I'm Þorkatla the Voracious.

I like it!

I entered my husbands name and he was: Þorleif the Flatulent. It couldn't be more fitting.

Just my first name - Kolfinna the serial arsonist and with my surname I'm
Yngvilder the Violent. I typed in my son's name and this is what I got - Þórðr the Comedy Sidekick. That suits him 100%. But me an arsonist or violent, I can't imagine. That was fun thanks Gatsby.

I seem to be related to HendinIHO13, since I am "Guorun Saxonsbane."

Guorun? Sounds like a noxious substance. And "Saxonsbane" is a bit of a problem, too, since I'm of Anglo-Saxon ancestry. I should have known better than to seek a Viking name.

Fair enough – though I’m not really tone deaf, just completely and utterly “tone dumb” – I can’t sing a single bar in tune.

Full name;

It would seem that I am Porvald the Brave. Well, I suppose I am when I play 'shoot 'em up' video games...a positive hero, in fact.

Steinunn the Drunk for my first name, and Þórarna the Drunk for my first and surname, and Þórhildr the Ready-in-five-minutes for my full name. Only the last one is accurate.
