I think her name would have been Grendella, because she was Grendel's mom, and he might have been named after her. Another possible name is Cyllana (cyllan means to kill in old english)... but somehow Cyllana sounds too nice and pretty to be Grendel's mother's name. If I knew some more gruesome and sharp sounding old english words, I would use those to make up a name for Grendel's mom.
I feel like her name would probably have been something like Grenslaga or something like that (Gren from Grendel and Slaga from the Norse word àgenslaga meaning to slay or kill). I don't know if it sounds feminine enough. I personally enjoy the name grumpstown as well...
Grenslaga would imply that she kills Grendel. or grendel's... Maybe the townspeople call her wereslaga, for man-killer. If I could name her anything I would call her.. Urranacor.. you have to roll the "rr"
I'm not sure what her name would be. I think all of these are good. I agreed that her name would have something to do with killing. To combine a couple, maybe nectoslaga or something. But in response to Scotty, I'm not sure her name really needs to sound feminine, after all she isn't very feminine is she? I kind of picture her looking like the merpeople in Harry Potter. However, a little less scrawny.
I really have no idea what her name would be. But I kind of agree with Gaia. Grendella sounds like a good name for her, or one that's related to killing or evil or something similar. I imagine her looking like Grendel, but not as big, and maybe older, so with grayish fur/hair.
necatoria (necat means she kills in latin)
ReplyDeleteor grumpstown.

ReplyDeleteMortegren. I don't have a reason
ReplyDeleteProbably something like Demagorba cause it kinda sounds like a femal demon who is insanely fat
ReplyDeleteI agree with Teddy. I've always thought Grendel's mom would look like a terrifying murdering whale.
