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.

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]
