Names

Well, I was going to thrown in some names, but Ranika, once again, outdid me. I can only suggest Mhaolain as a Scottish (not Irish) surname off the top of my head.

Norwegians:

Sverre = my name

Sweeet

- Surnames:
Kyrre, Harald - Add "son" to these two, as "son off" these are firstnames (you have Harald in the firstname list, so we could get a "Mr Harald Harald

"

Filippus - This is an imported latin name, and the king rouled in the start of the 1200 . It wold not be apropriate for a peagan Norwegian king.

Jorsalfar - Means "Jearusalem fearer", or "crusader" and should be added to "Cognomina".

-Skel-

Now only Saxons, HRE and Magyars are left. I'll post lists for them too soon.

You should definitely include more B names on the Irish list; Brian, Broidhan (different from Briodhan), and Brennan at least. I also recommend keeping for the Irish and Scots; Troidhan (important general of Brian Boroime's), the surname of 'Boroime' (name of the emperor of Ireland; actually a title meaning 'cattle counter', since he was king of Ireland and so wealthy), and the surname Ui Kanlae/Kanlae (the progenators of both the Irish and Scottish 'Mac/McKinley' clans, it was allies under Broc Ui Kanlae that went to Scotland to help the Scots fight the viking invaders).

Garbhan and Gabhran are alternate versions of the same name; both are versions of Garret (which was common in Ireland, but the Scots seemed to prefer Garbhan, which is probably from a Pict version of the name). Brude is the most common Pict version of Broidh or Boidhe (Boyd). Drust is more common than Drest, both also appear with 'an' as an ending though, so probably Drustan is most appropriate.
