A Wednesday question for Heathens?

What are the names of Odin's ravens? I know they mean 'thought' and 'memory' but I can't remember the proper names for the life of me.

Extra credit: What would the word for 'doubt' be? I'm thinking of claiming to be their younger brother.

    Thought and Memory.

    Crap I can't remember the old Norse. Let me look it up.

    edit: Hugin (thought) and Munin (memory).

    There is a Viking ship near where I live that was sailed over from Denmark in 1949 to commemorate the landing of Hengist and Horsa (Jutes/Anglo-Saxons) in Kent. The ship is called Hugin. Thought = Huginn, Memory = Muninn

    Hugin and Munin.

    Everyone knows that, it's the title of a Folkearth song and it was in Neil Gaiman's "American gods"

    Now, If Odin had penguins instead of Ravens they'd be named after me (Lord Feathersorg) and my second in command (Kroogle)

    Hugin and Munin.... I always remember the first one, because I'm 'Hugin' the cute little bird. I know, doesn't fit, but it's easier to remember for me... then Munin I remember off Hugin.
