This article should use English names (with original names in parans)... - 24.44.37.202

It's not that simple and we've given this a lot of thought, see Wikipedia:Naming conventions (Old Norse/Old Icelandic/Old English) - Haukurth 09:47, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Yes, but this may be a case where the paragraph "a familiar English form" can be applied. I had trouble writing this article because of that. I am thinking particularly of Halfdan/Hálfdan, Ring/Hringr and Ingeborg/Ingibjörg.--Wiglaf 09:54, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)

In Wikipedia:List of encyclopedia topics (27), he is listed as Frithjof. This is probably due to Esaias Tegnér, and this means that there is a standard form in English. I'll change the form in accordance with the policy.--Wiglaf 19:13, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Surely there must be a more English name than Friðþjófs saga ins frœkna.
