I know this was posted as sort of addressing a specific issue, but I hope you don't mind me brainstorming a bit here.

I like the Idea behind using Norick's name, or the thought that bare_elf shared- using a modder's name. However I have a third suggestion. As this is your realization of the story, and ultimately this is going to be your character experiencing Legends of Aranna, I think you should pick a name from any of your own past playthrough's that sort of fit the character you've sculpted thus far. Since you seem to be into immersion, I'm sure you picked plenty of names that really fit the rest of the world, yet sound bold enough for a hero.
I might have missed an update, or you might be keeping this character's identity a mystery for the exact purpose of developing a community-made character, but it sounds like you have at least settled on human male. Coming from a cold village in the mountains, and with tough and bold names like Hardison Dohn (The mayor, as I recall), it's not too difficult to see the connection to.. a generally Viking feel. That said, maybe some character names from a game like Skyrim would fit to some degree.
(I'm not sure why but two 'G' names came to mind. Grigori and Godkrieg)

On the subject of characters in general, have you any thoughts about adding extra's besides the actual cast of the game? Do you want as many interesting folk as possible even if they're not in the game, or are you looking to exclusively flesh out the characters that are already there? I like to think I'm pretty good at creating characters of mine own..

I think Jondar, being the first follower you meet, should end up being the hero's greatest ally. Or if nothing else, the 'co-star'. Determined and focused, he could be classed as a Fist of Stone, pretty sure the lore doesn't specify when such talents originate.. maybe he could even be the pioneer of such magics. He's the one who's concerned and troubled, while the Hero is generally optimistic. (Also I love how the Legendary mod makes him an elf, can that be a thing or..?)

Love interests? Get some romance in between all that stabbing and gutting. The only lass who's name I remember is Lyssa.. probably because you meet her in Arhok as well.
