He turned out to be a little larger than I was expecting…

I'm thinking of calling him Larger Than Lief, but I'd love to hear your ideas!

Thorkell the Tall, although knowing the Norse fondness for a joke, he could have been a shorty… link
or possibly one of Starkadder's kin, as he was descended from jotuns (giants)

or you could take a look at these jotun names

Im using "Stoic the Vast" for my Viking warlord. The name is from the movie How to train your Dragon, which Ive just seen on TV, and is rather funny.

Griefbringer18 Jan 2013 10:47 a.m. PST

Nice figure, though does not quite look like a historical Viking.

Considering his size, perhaps his companions could call him by the nickname "Jotunn" (Viking term for a giant).

Ølaf Grøssebaf?

…which is a French joke, as "une grosse baffe" means a hard blow in the face.

It's the name of a Viking chief in one book of "Asterix the Gaul":

…Your ordi probably can type an Ø too, it's something to do with "alt" and 0, my Mac French keyboard can do it but I've no idea how it really should be used in any language.

The Viking Answer Lady's Website has a section on Viking names here: link
It explains what the various components mean, and you might be able to take a name that sounds fun in English and create a Norse version of it. I see they already list Barkr as a Viking name.

I like Jotunn… Or Ulath – I'm re-reading the Elenium at the moment.
