The old Norse myths are good for names, as are Roman ones. Examples:
Marcus, Egil, Torri, Thorgrim, Olaf, Njal, Caius, Julius, Thalgrim.
Of course, add -son or -sson to make a new name as well...
It helps to know some anglo-saxon or just some celtic roots of words, and then you can make up your own names.
E.g Ed- means 'noble' i.e Edward means 'noble guardian' (I think).
Bibical names can be fun too, and Celtic/Saxon names.
I have a huge selection; the problem is choosing the best ones.
