Anyways, I always liked Sven, also. Infact 3 of my Skyrim characters are named Sven (Sven the Prisoner, Sven, And Sven Dragun)SonicWaffle said:
Naming an RP character

Honestly, most RP characters I've made (be they personal avatars or NPCs I've crafted as a DM) started off with only the most basic of premises and a given name. Generally the family name waits until I'm more familiar with the world said character will be living in.
For a Nordic name, most of the suggestions in this thread would be just fine... but might I humbly offer the given name of Jens (pronounced Yenz), as it's slightly unmanly and would put you in a position to craft a "Boy Named Sue" [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_rleFAS_B04] backstory. The only man I ever met named Jens was a really prickly hardcase thanks to his name.

Hm, I wrote a program a while back that automatically generates Viking names. Here's a sample output:

Rodmar Womendoer
Kaetiloy Bombzipper
Paul Afternoonpauser
Bardi Birthdaysoaker
Gudrod Armyexperimenter

Starolf Gameexecuter

Hreida Believeoverflower
Reinn Trickstepper

Rodmar Womandoer certainly sounds manly. Alternatively I have a very long list of genuine Nordic male first names. I can send it to you if you want and then you can just pick two and put "son" on the end of the second one.

Olaf Svaigård. What, it sounds nice and somewhat Nordic. Or, if Finnish is accepted, you could always call him Vitun Kova Jätkä or something.
I just use this. [http://www.behindthename.com/random/] for RPs. It's got a lot of different cultures, and you can look up the meaning of each name if you want.
Ymbirtt's list has some good ones for you. Heck, his own name sounds Nordic, and easier to pronounce than most of these ('Eem-beert').
One of Bernard Cornwell's historical fiction series has Uhtred as the main character along with similar names for all the Dane characters. There's a Ragnar, Guthrum, Kjartan, Sven, Rorik, and Ivar.
