Salut, Cozyns,
Lyonel aisai.
In response to my:
>>What would everyone think of a name like Ragnarsland?
Erik Wulfriksson said:

Yeah. Actually, I was thinking--as HE Pendaran noted--the lilt is wrong.
In order for the name to roll off the tongue, the descriptor would have to
be two syllables. Ragnars-something. Any help from the Norsk types? Any
Old Norse two-syllable place nouns for land, reach, region, march, country,
hills, etc.?
