Need Help Naming a Norse-themed Game!

Hello everybody! About a year ago, I created a prototype for a local multi-player, co-operative bullet hell shooter. I'm hoping to continue working on my prototype game, and have made the source code available on GitHub. However, I've been developing under the code name "norsegame," and I'm looking for an actual name to replace that. Anybody have any cool ideas? Ideally, the name would integrate the Norse theme in some way.

Ulfhednar: Roughly meaning "berserkers" or "warriors in a frenzy."

Pronounced, 'ulf-HEAD-nar'.

Thanks for all the suggestions! I'm leaning towards Ulfhednar due to pronounceability, and the fact that it reflects the insanity of the battles. I'll see if I can use the other names in some places as well - I still have a ton of characters and enemies to name!
