[ANSTHRLD] name help

Can Kolbrunaskald be documented as an Old Norse given name?

The documention you're referring to suggests that Kolbrunaskald is a byname,
and not a given name. I do not know if patronyms can be constructed from
bynames; I've only seen Old Norse patronyms constructed from given names.

Kolbrunaskald by itself should be a registerable byname. Should it not?

Hwæt! We Gardena         in geardagum,
þeodcyninga,         þrym gefrunon,
hu ða æþelingas         ellen fremedon.
Oft Scyld Scefing         sceaþena þreatum,
monegum mægþum,         meodosetla ofteah,
egsode eorlas.         Syððan ærest wearð
feasceaft funden,         he þæs frofre gebad,
weox under wolcnum,         weorðmyndum þah,
oðþæt him æghwylc         þara ymbsittendra
ofer hronrade         hyran scolde,
gomban gyldan.         þæt wæs god cyning!
