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.?
