Scandinavian Name File v1.0 released!

kingcharlesxii · 02-22-2004, 06:35 PM

My Scandinavian name file has been released. You can get it at my website . I've also submitted it to Baseball Sim Central so it should be on there in a few days. I have roughly 1600 first names and 1600 last names included in this release. I hope you enjoy it and feel free to message/email me if you have any questions about it.

Future plans include:
- more names
- Scandinavian nicknames

- Nick

EDIT: I added 130 nicknames and tested for OOTP 6! Get the new file at:

I'd be interested in learning what some of the more distinctive nicknames are (and what they mean).

Well right now I don't have any new nicknames included in the file. I'm still planning to add them but after spending many hours the last few days, I thought I'd just post the first and last name files.

As for the names themselves, I don't have a complete list of the roots but I can probably throw together a list of the ones I know. The problem is that a lot of them are Old Norse roots and I don't know much Old Norse. However I will say a lot of the names are compounds. For example, Torbjorn means "Thor-bear".

I'll try to include this in the next version of the file. Thanks for the interest!

Very cool - maybe it's time for me to start a Euro league?

I'm pleased to announce version 1.1 of the Scandinavian Name File has been released! New features include:

-Tested for OOTP6 compatibility. It is now certified by me to work with OOTP 5 and 6.
-130 authentic nicknames! They are translated into English from ancient Scandinavian literature. My personal favorite is "Terror of the East-Men" but other cool authentic nicknames include Provider of Carrion, Swarthy-Cheek, Whale-Might, Reddener of Swords and also just plain Evil.

The temporary website for the file is:

I will submit it to the usual OOTP download sites as well. The Readme in the ZIP file has more information.
Enjoy and message me if you have any questions.
