Or go to the library (or call) and get the wonderful book "Kristin
Lavransdatter" by Sigrid Unset.  It has many many Norwegian names. and is
great reading also.   Jean

Teresa,

I bought a paperback dictionary that contained both Norwegian-English
and English-Norwegian.  It's been great in locating names and words.

Is there a book on Norwegian names for Fjord horses? Just wondered about
names
and their meanings.

I was talking to a friend about my upcoming trip to Montana to pick up
our new fjord (Raintree's Katya) and he mentioned that we should meet up
in Medora, North Dakota and do some riding as he had spent quite some
time there years ago riding the Badlands.  He stated that he'd love to
be my "Fjord Escort"!  (For those of you not in America, a popular car
is the Ford Escort)

Fun to hear that book mentioned ... my daughter and I love it - I actually 
read the entire zillion pages of it out loud to her.  Now we are nearly done 
with the second in the trillogy!  Sigrid Undset got the Nobel Prize for it in 
1928.  Some names:  Naakve, Bjorgulf, Erland, Erling, Stig, Tore, Olav, Ulf, 
Haftor, Audun, Haakon, Nikulaus ... on and on.

Some horse names from the book:  Guldsveinen, Ringdrotten, Slongvanbauge .. 
and my personal favorite: Digerbein (Big Legs!)

Just ask at your local library.

just for fun (no horses allowed inside).

Renee, a name I always wanted to use for a horse is "Ticnic"  Certainly not
Scandinavian but personable.  Jean Gayle

The convention in the Dutch registration system is to use the first
letter of the name for each year, ie, foals of 98 start with T, next
year's crop starts with U, etc. This is handy for determining the year
bred. I'm not sure what they do when they get to X though.
