Norse cat names

Norse myth is unusually good for cats, because Freya, its goddess of love, rode a chariot pulled by two cats. Loki, the shape-shifting trickster, is the obvious choice for any cat with a talent for mischief.

Beyond the gods there are names like Astrid (divine beauty), Leif (heir) and Bjorn (bear), plus Odin's ravens Hugin and Munin for a pair of black cats.
