Name my Magic Sword!

[HelplessPeasant]

My half-orc fighter is getting a magical +2 Giantslayer Greatsword repaired/reforged after it was damaged, and he's having an engraving written on the sword in Orcish. Our campaign is centered around fixing the cycle of Ragnarok and fighting frost-giants, and I'm wondering what you guys think I should put on it/name it. Any interesting ideas?

I like the idea of naming it after a Nordic weapon, are there any that specifically have to do with killing Giants?

Jotunmorder? Not exactly a traditional name from the sagas that I'm aware of, but direct and to the point: "giant murderer".

Hi Misereor - did those names come from a generator? If yes - which one? Cheers!

Mjolnir comes to mind.

Using a crude Old Norse translation Dursbani roughly means Giant Death.

In modern Swedish the following means Giant Butcher/Slaughterer: Jätte-slaktare

In Finnish we have Jättiläisentappaja or Giant-slayer.

Danish gives us Kæmpe-morder: Giant-killer, or more appropriately Giant-murderer

And we've got: Jotunn-hamar as Giant-hammer.

[Slipperychicken]

Jotunn-hamar as Giant-hammer.

I feel like I've heard this one before, but it's awesome regardless.

[Misereor]

No, sorry. They're from Tolkien.
(There are quite a few Middle Earth dictionaries around on the net)

I noticed Jotun-morder was already noted on the basis, I got ninja'd.

Let the puny elves give their swords fancy names .

[Beleriphon]

Jötna bani = Jotunn bane
Ökkla bítur = ankle biter

I was worried some would end up in the wrong declension. Or Google translate would use giant as a verb, rather than a noun.
