What are some of the names that Vikings gave to their ships?

I'm searching for a name for a new Yacht.

    Here are three names to be going on with : Oseberg, Gokstad and Tune.

    These are the names of the three Viking longships discovered in a Royal burial mound in Oslo Fjiord and are now preserved in the Norwegian Maritime Museum in Oslo. For the benefit of any subscribers who have George Bush's grasp of geography, Oslo is the capital city of Norway which is in Europe.

    Quite honestly I can't find a site that lists the names of Viking ships/boats.

    Do a Google or Yahoo search for "Boat names" and you'll find quite a few sites that list hundreds, if not thousands of boat names.

    They following site reports to have 10,000 names listed...

    Of course if your boat has as many holes as the Vikings defense you might want to invest in some cork.

    Have fun

    The ships had names which reflected the shape of their prows, like "Long Serpent", "Snake of the Sea" and "Horse of the Home of Ice".
