I'd get an axe, that way I wouldn't need wood anymore AND I could chop up Sauron's servants... The Axe of Flaming Rage...

Or what about Saruman's Bane, Wizard the sixth?

What was Elric of Melnibone's sword named? Stormbringer, I think?
Which, is a cool name, no doubt, but is kind of odd when you think about it. I mean, it's sort of like naming your sword, "Severe Tropical Depression", or "Unstable Air Mass".

Beware! Or you shall face the wrath of Strato-Cumulous!!!"
"Ere... wot kind of toff name is that then, eh?"

I would name my sword "Dragon Claw".
Or "Eddie"
It could go either way.

I would name my sword after the elvish-name of my long-suffering character in the Return of the Entish Bow RP series, Andotiruves, which in English means "The Gatekeeper". The elvish sounds so much more impressive and mysterious.

EDIT: For those who want to come up with a real elvish name instead of depending on the name-generator, there is a pretty good English-to-Elvish Dictionary here. Ram a couple of good words together and see what you can come up with.

I thought of another name, along the lines of the original Slice-And-Dice:
The Ronco Orc-O-Matic!!
It slices, it dices, it even makes little julienne Orc-fries!

I've often toyed with naming my sword after the one that belongs to Geirmund Thunder in Laxdæla Saga. Fótbítr, 'Leg-biter': says it all really. If I were feeling self-referential I'd call it Wylkynsion, but as it is it has no name.
