Dwarven names
Can anyone help me find a few Dwarven sounding names that aren't used already? I'd like to stay away from the names in the Hobbit especially.

11. Nýi og Niði,
Norðri og Suðri, Austri og Vestri, Alþjófur, Dvalinn, Bívör, Bávör, Bömbur, Nóri, Án og Ánar, Ái, Mjöðvitnir. 12. Veigur og Gandálfur, Vindálfur, Þráinn, Þekkur og Þorinn, Þrár, Vitur og Litur, Nár og Nýráður, nú hefi eg dverga, -- Reginn og Ráðsviður, -- rétt um talda. 13. Fíli, Kíli, Fundinn, Náli, Hefti, Víli, Hannar, Svíur, Frár, Hornbori, Frægur og Lóni, Aurvangur, Jari, Eikinskjaldi. 14. Mál er dverga í Dvalins liði ljóna kindum til Lofars telja, þeir er sóttu frá salar steini Aurvanga sjöt til Jöruvalla. 15. Þar var Draupnir og Dólgþrasir, Hár, Haugspori, Hlévangur, Glói, Skirvir, Virvir, Skáfiður, Ái. 16. Álfur og Yngvi, Eikinskjaldi, Fjalar og Frosti, Finnur og Ginnar; það mun upp meðan öld lifir, langniðja tal Lofars hafað. That's the excerpt on from the Old Norse Völuspá, the song from which Tolkien took his dwarf names. See here for example for an English translation. |

One thing I should add is that the dwarves in LotR and The Hobbit have Norse names because they are imagined to be translated from names of legends of the Dale area. Dwarves from other areas (as is evident in the cases of Telchar, Azaghal etc.) might have taken name from this area they are living in; and such names could be 'translated' by just about anything imaginable, preferrably from older legends, of course. I'm not sure whether it would be good to name a dwarf Herakles, though [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]
