Dear Eiríkr Rauði, thank you very much!
Dear Warriors, we can all do this mod unique in design! Historical names and banners is an integral component of the design of this mod.
Compare with the mod Muskets: there is also the name of clan historical (example "33ndReg_", ...), a rank historical (example "Colonel, Sergeant", ...), as well as many names (example "Bernadotte, Davou", ...). Let's surpass them in the same design on our favorite mod "Vikingr"! Is that so hard??!
It would be wonderful if the themselves developers of mod will give in this an example, how this was done Dear Eiríkr Rauði (as Eirikur in game).
Some clans are served at this point of fun a great example: "Fyrningas", "The Fyrd of Lewes" (and their sub-clan), "The Anglo-Saxons", "Vikingar ok Nordmenn"
and some other warriors of other clans (for example, [Einherjar]_Angantyr, [Shieldings]_Harkon_Haakonson, [Einherjar]_Absalon, [Shieldings]_Hengist)

This is also a great place. Btw, I created an, ingame character if you will
"Turold of Normandy". Couldnt figure any proper Norman provinces to name after, Normandy was the logical choice.
Link itself is not all national names fit in this mod!
I suggest that, as Dear Eadric, limit the choice of names only national names: Old Norse, Anglo-Saxon, Ancient Germanic, Ancient Irish, Traditional Gaelic, Old Slavic, Old Finnish and Old Estonian, Old Baltic, Old Frisian, Briton, Norman and French.
Better not to biblical names and their derivatives, analogues of the Hebrew and Greek languages
About name "Turold" I found this information

Hrm.. So a name like Thorlak The Bald is not exactly what your looking for? I need a good last name. I think it would be cool if clans tags were just last names. That way you can keep the identification and also add a level of immersion. For example, Clan Haakonson (they are a violent bunch). Just a thought.
This is not a suitable option for everyone! In our clan, "Vikingar ok Nordmenn" more than thirty people: all of us to be "_Olafsson" or "_Sigurdarsson"?
Unfortunately, in the game can not always play with the rank of a warrior clan (for example, a class leader "Höfðingi"), and a set of money does not give also possible that if you play a class vigilantes "Hirðmaðr". In the sagas rank follows the name, as well as type of activity (for example
http://norse.ulver.com/src/isl/grettir/is.html http://www.sagadb.org/grettis_saga.en "
Önundur var víkingur.....
Kjötvi konungur....Haraldur konungur lagði að skipi Þóris haklangs því að
Þórir var hinn mesti berserkur og fullhugi"). So I was able to design their own clan to display not only the name of the clan, but Sagas description of warriors in a similar position (name_rank_type of activity/but at the same time membership to a clan. Note the difference in the name of our clan-"Vikin
gAr" and in the design nickname of our fully-"..._..._Vikin
gr").
Unfortunately, the game does not fit the full name and rank with the name of the name kind of activity. Therefore, we our rank only write across the consonants. But the very construction of transfer of the name, and then of the rank, and then of the kind of activity we in the design kept. (For example, Styrkarr_Hrdmdr_Vikingr)

Hm, maybe I should change "Leo_the_Warden" which was nothing but an awful pun anyway. It's a nice idea to have more historically probable names. Also; maybe
this one helps?
Dear FrisianDude, thank you very much for the wonderful link to the Frisian names of our time in the game! It would be good to put it in the first post, if will not mind Dear Eirikur.
I am sorry please, but I'm not found "Leo" as nation name of Viking age, our nations in game! This historical name from Ancient Greek and Latin and later as Christian name
http://www.behindthename.com/name/leo http://www.behindthename.com/name/leon
But "The Warden" as nickname in history.
If you are not hard, then please choose thee one of the Frisian names. You'll look nice with it! Support, please, movement of the fans and the unique design of mod.
For example, "Liudulf"
