Funny Viking Names Puns

And here we are centuries later watching television dramas about them. It’s funny to imagine, how they couldn’t even possibly imagine

Halfdan.

I’ve got two: First, Teddy Brown, because he was very good, but never great (much like the Vikings). And second, Onterrio Smith. He was serviceable, but then he brought us the whole Whizzenator fiasco.

Greg Camarillo

“You wouldn’t get it, it’s Norse code”

I’ll start.

I thought Greg Childs was going to be a steal in the draft. I was wrong before that season even began.

Then I was sure that Kirk Cousins was going to be a terrible move for us, and I was wrong. He and the offense are the only thing keeping this team afloat the last 2 years.

at my fc it’s Amazonians which i figured was standard lol

One night a Viking named Rudolph the Red was looking out the window when he said "It's going to rain."

His wife asked, "How do you know?"

"Because Rudolph the Red knows rain, dear."

Ok, thanks everyone! This is some solid research here. Mostly because it more or less confirms that these aren't: "just dad's opinions, there is no basis for this".

FWIW, my answer is Packers, Saints, Eagles!

Citadel AKA Shitadel, etc.

Ken Griffin AKA Kenny, KG, Mayo Boy, etc.

Fidelity AKA FUDelity, etc.

If apes do not use the correct spelling this will only muddy the water or diminish the spotlight on these people of groups. This is due to SEO(search engine optimization).

You better believe Ken Griffin the illegal short seller of Citadel Securities doesn’t want the spotlight on him or his organization. When apes post, they must remain focused on utilizing correct spelling in order to keep the spotlight and search trends full throttle on Ken Griffin the illegal short seller of Citadel and his illegal trading practices on GameStop and GME.

Not naming them only helps shills hide what apes have discovered in their DD. Let’s help r/superstonk get the attention it deserves by being clear and concise in naming market makers and their illegal practices.

This is not an argument on if names should or shouldn’t be changed. Rather for the reasons behind them.

I’ve seen the “Oh the Braves should change their name” argument come up again with their appearance in the World Series, and with the more recent name changes to a couple of other teams in a few American sports (rightly or wrongly).

How are the Braves and Vikings the same thing? Well in both cases, it’s sets of people who are caricaturized by a sports team. The Braves have a tomahawk as part of their branding logos, the Vikings have a dude with the standard “Viking horns” and long hair on their logo. The Braves fans do a venture called the “tomahawk chop” at their games, the Vikings fans shout “SKOL” at theirs, and even use a gjallarhorn when they score or get first downs.

If your argument is that the Braves branding needs to be changed because it’s a caricature of Native American cultures, fine. But the Vikings name is just as guilty, if not more so. Don’t act like it isn’t.

No, your joke isn't creative. Yes, they know the reference. They've heard it many times before. And a good chance that even if they say "haha, that's a new one" it probably isn't and they just want to spare your feelings. In fact, not acknowledging the low hanging fruit and simply responding with your own name will probably be more appreciated by them and they will think of you as more mature and likable.

Is it respectful to name your son or daughter after a norse god?

They go to Val-haha

Just Google “Walter Hahn WW2” and the very first link leads to a Nazi soldier. I just love how no one blinked at this, and yet are suddenly history experts when a more German-sounding name is brought.

And because of this, I’m starting to lean to the idea that this name change was Walter’s idea.

Hola Skinks,

After having noticed many times that certain lizardmen names for generic lords and heroes appear to be puns on Dutch words I finally decided to compile these funny names into a single Bok, I mean list, so that you too won't be able to take these names seriously again. If I'm forced to giggle every time I try to recruit a new lord, so should you. While sometimes the actual spelling may appear quite different to the in-game spelling, as a Dutchman I assure you the way they'd be pronounced would be the same.

For convenience, I've listed the actual name of the characters as they appear in-game, the way it would be spelled in Dutch, and the actual meaning in Dutch. I hope someone'll get a good chuckle out of this.

He said to his wife "It's going to rain."

His wife looks at him and says "What? How do you know?"

He then proceeds to look his wife dead in the eyes and exclaims: "Because Rudolph the Red knows rain, dear."
