    Ideas for a hero name ?

    Hi,

    Yet another "Help me for a name" thread, I'm really sorry.

    My hero is a Swedish young man who gained his powers during an avalanche. He escaped with death by miracle and developped supernatural powers based on ice, snow and cold.

    I imagined and drawn aside traditional names like Ice, Snow, Cold, and their derivatives in -man, -boy, super-, hyper-, etc.

    Any ideas for a name, knowing that I have a preference for a Scandinavian or German name (my campaign will take in Berlin) ?

    Thanks.

    Oh, by the way, the translations above came from:

    http://dictionaries.travlang.com/

    They have English to _______ dictionaries for quite a few languages.

    You may try things like Blizzard, Snowstorm, Snowblind, etc. translated into some other languages.

    Thanks for the link, I didn't know this website.
    They have also French > _______ dictionaries which will be very useful for me.

    I don't doubt that I'll find a perfect for my hero with that.
    I already found "Kall", the swedish word for cold, I like it.


    Thanks again.

    Very glad to help.
    In my rush to find something for you I completely missed the fact that you were French.
    Since that site can go straight from French to the language you are interested in, it should help a lot.

    Happy to be of service,
