Dwarven names

[Tinuviel of Denton]

Can anyone help me find a few Dwarven sounding names that aren't used already? I'd like to stay away from the names in the Hobbit especially.

That's the excerpt on from the Old Norse
Völuspá (http://www.geocities.com/iceland_turdus/voluspa.html), the song from which Tolkien took his dwarf names. See here (http://www.sacred-texts.com/neu/poe/poe03.htm) for example for an English translation.

Hey Sharku thats a great list of dwarven names!

One thing I should add is that the dwarves in LotR and The Hobbit have Norse names because they are imagined to be translated from names of legends of the Dale area. Dwarves from other areas (as is evident in the cases of Telchar, Azaghal etc.) might have taken name from this area they are living in; and such names could be 'translated' by just about anything imaginable, preferrably from older legends, of course. I'm not sure whether it would be good to name a dwarf Herakles, though smilies/wink.gif
