I really don't know how any of us could stop poking fun at him for having the nickname Badger. Anyways, added you on steam.

Just finished playing for over an hour with Loftr (lokoout). We chatted it up, and had brutally awesome melees! Was very fun. I can't wait for us to truly take off! This is very exciting.
Also, Loftr brought up a point... Our banner, as of now is bland. It's going to be like that for awhile. Most of the new banners are clan banners, we are technically not allowed to use them. However, if you want to suggest a banner we use, go ahead. We'll put it to a vote, and I may even add a poll for it.
Remember guys, no one is the leader here. We're a clan of players, no politics. We all do this together. Everyone will get to lead, everyone will get to die (in a glorious sense). For Ragnar!!!

Hey, I'm a frequent NA vikingr player, and I'd love to join this clan.
My names Finnr Grimoson, but I'll change it to Finnr Ragnarson

I don't know if you're aware of it, but the correct spelling of the name of your father is "Ragnarr".
Oh! And welcome!
PS. If you want me to correct the names, titles etc. don't hesitate to ask!

I know, that's why I didn't go all language-teacher on him, with red lines and exclamation-marks
Personally I don't see any reason to prefer wrong names and phrases when someone's offering to correct them for you free of charge, but whatever.
Technically, 'Ragnar' would be fine in English (or basically non-Norse) contexts. The -r of the nominative is quite inconvenient when you're using the genitive in English, for example, but on the other hand no one feels that's a problem with Latin names. Nevertheless, I prefer not to use anglicized forms, unless a particular context makes it preferable.

Look, I have no problem correcting wrong names, info, etc. I actually welcome it. Is the first name Ragnar to be changed to Ragnarr, as well as the last name from Ragnarsson to Ragnarrsson?

Welcome Brother Finnr. According to the name corrections the above quotes suggest, I think our last name is going to be correct Ragnarrsson.
Heh, don't worry, my post was directed to Baleigr (by now we have a long history of disagreeing over this matter ).
Ragnarr is the correct form of the name when used on its own, but the patronymic would be Ragnarsson. Old Norse is an inflected language, which means a word takes different endings depending on the grammatical context. Ragnarr is the base form Ragnar- plus the ending -r, while Ragnarsson is the base form plus the ending -s (think Ragnar's) plus the word son.

Okay, so the last name stays as Ragnarsson, but the first name is changed to Ragnarr.
I would definitely use Ragnarr as the personal name, Ragnarsson or Ragnarsdóttir as patronym depending on your gender.
Also, the sites you refer to for choosing names are very flawed. Check this thread. I would go to a source like this or find them in the primary sources.
