Enforcer84 Posted July 17, 2015 Report Share Posted July 17, 2015 Looking for a name for a rather shallow neo nazi Wonder Woman knockoff. She's not german herself, she's actually from Asgard more scandinavian but she's thrown her lot in with a former Nazi supervillain who has been trading on the nazi "Brand" to build a cult of personality about himself and she's kind of fallen in, she finds him endlessly fascinating having missed out on WW II herself. Right now I'm looking at Kreiger for her Warrior and Dame for Woman or a more aristocratic Adelige. But I have no idea how the words should go together or if they even should - she would be fine with a ham-handed google translate version but the old Nazi probably would prefer to correct her.

Hyper-Man Posted July 17, 2015 Report Share Posted July 17, 2015 Based on the description I would probably go with a Nazi adjective to precede Valkyrie. It's hard to beat a name that literally means "chooser of the slain". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enforcer84 Posted July 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2015 True, but I wanted something a little different. She doesn't really care for the Valkyrie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steriaca Posted July 17, 2015 Report Share Posted July 17, 2015 Uberdame ("Over Woman"?)? "Pure One" (whatever the German equivalent is)? "Pure Flower"? "Iron Flower"? "Flower Of Arien"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
procyon Posted July 18, 2015 Report Share Posted July 18, 2015 Kreigerfrau would be the literal way to translate it. But pick whatever you like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptnStrawberry Posted July 18, 2015 Report Share Posted July 18, 2015 I would personally go with the Asgardian theme- plenty of goddesses: Freya, Thruer daughter of Thor, or Hela might work - not that she is necessarily the original, just assuming their name. The old Marvel Invaders had a Warrior Woman; please whatever you do, don't play up the leather and whips thing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaptnStrawberry Posted July 18, 2015 Report Share Posted July 18, 2015 Shield Maiden might also work - always protecting her boss against those do-gooders! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
procyon Posted July 18, 2015 Report Share Posted July 18, 2015 Shield Maiden might also work - always protecting her boss against those do-gooders! Umm...no. Schildmadchen would be heard by most and assumed to be meant as schulmadchen. Which means 'school girl'. Not exactly what the old nazi would be hoping for. Well, unless he has plans that have nothing to do with super powers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enforcer84 Posted July 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2015 Freya is already in the World as is Thors daughter Thrud. The real ones. Vahalla is a good idea, I hadn't thought of that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legatus Posted July 18, 2015 Report Share Posted July 18, 2015 Okay, here are some thoughts from a German point of view a) warrior = Krieger (not Kreiger) b ) names based on the warrior image - Kriegsmaid (War Maiden) - Reichskriegerin (female Warrior of the "Reich") c) Shield Maiden = Schildmaid (nothing to do with Schulmädchen and every German would notice the difference) an old norse word for shieldmaiden is Randalin, that might work too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

procyon Posted July 18, 2015 Report Share Posted July 18, 2015 Spent a bunch of years in West Germany, courtesy of the Army. Grandparents live in Stuttgart. So I am not a native. My mother, is. So I asked her. Legatus is correct on the spelling. She says warrior woman, in the fem form would be kriegerin. Says she doesn't remember seeing -maid in a word. Maiden or girl is usually madchen, dirndl, or sometimes jungfer. She has lived stateside for several decades though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freakboy6117 Posted July 18, 2015 Report Share Posted July 18, 2015 Brynhildr (also spelled Brunhild, Brünnhilde, Brynhild) might work well she appears in old sagas as well as in the wagnerian epic opera cycle Der Ring des Nibelungen (much beloved by NAZIs). a shield-maiden and Valkyrie cast out by Odin for choosing the wrong side in a war perhaps she is the latest incarnation cast out for supporting the Nazis when she should have backed the scandinavian lands Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
