I'd hazard a suggestion that it's not actually all that uncommon in the American-speaking land known as Turtle Island, either. My iMac is called Thor and my server is called Odin. Jo's laptop is called Bagpuss, after the great god of soft furnishings.

Post #278,237 by CRConrad 3/14/07 3:23:25 PM Reply	Well, actually "actually"... ...it's usually more like "Mjölner", "Mjølnir", "Mjolnr", or something like that -- for one thing, the old Norse were likely to have many ways to skin a spelling cat; for another, there's probably no absolute consensus on how to transcribe their runes into our Latin alphabet. But anyway, two observations: Your variant with two l's, while I've probably seen it before, is rare; and the whole "oe" thing is of course strictly for poor Southlanders who haven't upgraded to the Extended (Umlaut) Edition of the Roman alphabet.
