I'm having a hard time finding a surname for my character.

Quite a few will be aware that I've been thinking alot about remaking a ''deceased'' character. (Damn save accident.)

For one, I deciced to stick with her original name, Hrafna.

Why? Leysa is Norse for tear, but I realized that it's a verb. So it probably means tear as in: ''I will tear your flesh apart.''

And while that fits this Necrolady fine, it's a bit awkward for a parent to call her daughter: ''I will tear you''.

Hrafna is feminized from the Norse word Hrafn, which means raven. And since Ravens are quite a Norse symbol, it wouldn't be too odd for her father to call her that. It also fits her Gothic appearance and sorrowful personality. So yeah, despite there being http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/Hrefna. It's probably the best name for her after all.

Matters like that aside, I can't seem to come up with a good surname.

When making a Nord, I always find surnames a good touch. For example, Brunwulf Free-Winter, Thongvor Silver-Blood.

So yeah, what surname would fit this sorrowful and thoughtful character? Ofcourse, this would mean that her family may have had this name aswell. So I can't go too obvious.

I considered to use ''Fading-Heart'', but I'm not sure.

Hrafna Fading-Heart?

Any possibly ideas? They are much appreciated. This is pretty much the last step I have to take untill I can make this character.

That may work out. Thanks for the idea anyhow.

Hmmm, I wonder what Hevnoraak will think. He and Hrafna got along quite well. :D
