[ANSTHRLD] Name question

Quoth "BOWERMAN, MATTHEW S. (JSC-DV6) (USA)":

Not <Thyre> you didn't; I just did a search of the page and I
can't find it there.

> Bj=F6rn Hausakljúfr
> Bj=F6rn Thorgrimson

<Þorgrímr> is the next most popular name after <Bj{o,}rn>, so
it's a great choice.

<hausakljúfr> is a byname, not a given name, so it shouldn't
be capitalized.  It means "skull-cleaver" and is found once in
the Landnamabok (see http://www.ellipsis.cx/~liana/names/vikbynames.html).

Either of the choices you have above are fine.
