Hello fellow Bronies! I've a request for the community. In order to add the finishing touches on a secret RP event that I am working on, I require a little creativity. This is why I've turned to my fellow Bronies for help. I need help to come up with names of characters, ships, statues and places. More concretely I require:
1) The name of a King and Queen. 2) The name of a Prince and Princess. 3) The names of two families. 4) The name of a villain. 5) The names of a butler and his father. 6) The names of servants. 7) The names of noblemen and the counties they're from. 8) The name of a clergyman. 9) The name of a navy. 10) The names of ships in said navy. 11) The name of an island. 12) The names of statues. 13) The name of a secret organization.
Now I realize that is a tall order but I require one more thing. All these names have to be Scandihoovian. That's pony for Scandinavian. And for all those who do not know what Scandinavia is, it is the northern part of Europe, consisting of Denmark, Sweden, Norway and Finland. Viking sounding names might be considered but few and far between.
After all that, there is more! For every couple of names you suggest I will reveal a little detail about this secret event. Also if I use your name, you will be notified and be among the first to be invited to testing before the finished product! Your forum name will also be credited and might end up as an Easter egg!
So, to all Bronies and Pegasisters out there, let your creativity flow and bring me some names!
UPDATES!

Hello, I realize that this thread hasn't been updated for a good bit. Honestly my summer has been horrible and only now have I been able to continue work on this event. From now I will be providing weekly update reports. For this week I'll post some images of what I have so far.
The castle is based on Hamlet's castle. It is called Kronborg and is located in Helsingør(Elsinore), Denmark. That's it for this week! Stay tuned.
I have stopped working on this as it has become apparent to me that there is not enough feedback/interest from the community to warrant the time and effort required to finish. If anypony would like to have the level data just PM me.
I guess names like Lord Trotsby or Lord Canterbury wouldn't work then?
Preferably original names. Those names might make their way into the story line anyway. But since those were a couple of suggestions I'll reveal a little detail.
HINT: The story revolves around a mystery in a castle.
EDIT
What about for the king Frostmane?
king blazing glory queen inheritance prince virtue princess transcendence nobleman eternal winter from the frozen plains of tobedetermined
HINT: The players will be required to gather clues.
so is that a maybe for the names or a keep trying?
I will PM you if I use your names. I've only just begun on the final details of the event and at this point many things can change. Just keep coming up with names and I'll keep coming up with hints!
Hmm.... seems like we all need a little inspiration to help us some. Here are three images of the anatomy of a horse. One in Danish, Swedish and Finnish(Suomi).
If you are having a hard time coming up with names then mix and match some of these words. Although it might sound silly to a Scandihoovian
Since I'm Norwegian, I guess I could give it a try... Kind of random, but it's something, right?
1) The name of a King and Queen. Kong (King) Hovlaf Stoltmule (Hoof-laf Proudmuzzle, or something... Can ad -ur or just -r to it as well.) & Dronning (Queen) Sol Måneman (Sun Moon-mane)
2) The name of a Prince and Princess. Prins Hovlav Stoltmule (Hoof-lav, from Olav, and I assume he's in family with the king, so same last-name?) & Prinsesse Hovrun (Jorun mixed with hoof... And I'm running out of last-names...)
3) The names of two families. Stormman (Storm-mane) & Hellhov (Luck-hoof)
4) The name of a villain. Hoofki (Hoof and Loki), Helhov/Helman (Hel, as in the Norse god of the domain of the dead/hell, and hoof/mane) or Fenrir (As in the Fenris-wolf), or if you want to go kind of off-topic (when it comes to Scandihoofian), Zoron?
5) The names of a butler and his father. ...I'm blank... Bøtler maybe?
6) The names of servants. Also blank ._. Try words like 'Tjener' (servant), or 'Tjeneste' (in service, or something), 'Pike' (Old-fashioned word for girl) or Gutt (boy)
7) The names of noblemen and the counties they're from. Country: Normane (Norway + mane), Nobleman: Ødegaard (Deserted farm, fairly common last-name in parts of Norway)
8) The name of a clergyman. Prestehov (Priest + hoof)
9) The name of a navy. Vikhover (Vik = Bay, thus 'Viking', + hooves)
10) The names of ships in said navy. Kampskip (Battle-ship. Directly translated)
11) The name of an island. Mankbard (Mane + Svalbard (a Norwegian island))
12) The names of statues. Statuetter (Statuets in Norwegian), Golemmer (Golems)
13) The name of a secret organization. Røverne/Røverene (Sort of old-fashioned way of saying 'the bandits' in Norwegian, and probably Danish too)
If they seemed a bit weird, and/or you simply wanted Nordic names for people/objects, I could try making different ones...
