Wolf Cry Competition
**Result** This was really hard to judge as you all came up with splendid names that were pretty much all as good as each other (take a look - you'll see what I mean!). In the end I went for the one that made me laugh: Snorri Ragnhildson, unruly son of Ragnhild, put forward by Pippa Vanderplank. Pippa, please contact me leaving an email and I'll be in touch about your prize - if you use the same computer/email address as before I'll know it's really you as I keep a record!
If you didn't win this competition, you've a chance to solve Cat's anagrams on Twitter or enter the soon to be launched Dragonfly competition.
Thanks for your excellent names.

How about Auðr de Hugr, which should mean "Wealth of Spirit and Courage"?

Mine would be Skuld Valdis. Valdis, I believe is something with 'slain in battle' so I choose the goddess of destiny. Skuld means 'debt, future, and that which ought to be'. I figured together it could mean the goddess of those who will be slain in battle, or parton of.

Birna Gormsdottir Steeleyes Birna = she-bear (which just sounds cool - I don't know if I'm particularly bearlike, though) Gormsdottir = daughter of Gormr. My dad's name isn't Gormr, but apparently Gormr seems to have meant someone who revered God. Either that, or someone who was revered as a god. If it's the first meaning, that's definitely my dad! :) And I could master a steely-eyed glare for a cool surname, too. ;) (It won't let me add my website to the comment for some reason... )

Dear Julia, I think Agmundr would be a good name for a viking. It was an old norse name and its meaning comes in two parts: Aga- meaning "awe, terror" - and mundr meaning "protector" or in old icelandic "gift".Please take my name into to consideration, and Thank you!

Hello, Julia, I'm a big fan of your books and can't wait to read Wolf Cry. My Viking name would be Lykaios Felldenbeck.

Snorri Ragnhildson. I think this means the unruly son of Ragnhild.

Astrid which according to the website I found means beautiful God and Kari for a middle name which means curly haired which I am and for a last name Clawson because it was my Great Grandmothers last name and it could sound a bit like son of claw.
