How to choose Viking names for your characters

Keep characters distinct

For a crew, vary the initials: Bjørn, Erik and Toke are easier to distinguish than three names starting with the same letter.

Name your character

Start with a name like Astrid or Gudrun for your Viking-age character. Add their role to your notes so you can find them in the story.

Choose the spelling

Simplified spelling changes Þórðr to Thórdr. Choose “Original” to keep the letters þ, ð and ǫ.
