The Endeavor of Naming the Viking

So, Clint has imposed upon me the task of naming the classic viking pipe that I gave him for Valentine's Day. I have endeavored (with the help of Chelsea the faithful) to complete this wrenching task. I first suggested "Isadora," which sounds like the name of a "viking princess," if I ever heard one. My darling was not impressed. He said, "It sounds so...blatantly feminine."
So, I endeavored the task once again. This is the sampling of the "rough manly viking names" that we came up with:
Gallahad
Gæirmund
Friðmundr the Fearsome
Klængr
Hvitserk
Jarnskeggi
Kjartan
Sigmund
Sven

So, hopefully one of these will suffice....we shall see what my picky prince desires for the name of his glorious viking pipe.

like Fridmundr the Fearsome (however you pronounce it) and Sven.

Points for Sven! And the Chelsea rejoices!
