message: #Oppose. Hodur is not "the English name". There are many different ways to anglicize the name (Hodr, Hothr, Hödr, Höthr, Hod, Hoth, Hödur, Höthur, Hothur, Hodur, Hodhur, Hödhur, Hodhr, Hödhr, Hödh etc.) this is just one of many. Let's stick to the current spelling standard for Old Norse mythological names. And if you don't agree with the standard then please let's discuss the standard rather than individual cases. - Haukurth 09:11, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

message: Was it Odin and Rind, or Odin and Frigg? I've changed it to Frigg, because Frigg was Odin's wife, but I'm not 100% certain that I'm right. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ravenwing (talk • contribs) 02:23, 8 March 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: I believe it should be Odin and Rind.  And I thought there was some discrepancy as to whether or not Hod was actually killed, or whether Vali is always hunting for him.  I will have to pick up a copy of the Prose Edda and verify. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 205.231.28.177 (talk) 22:00, 11 April 2004 (UTC)
thread_title:  Odin and Rind 

message: I'd appreciate some more feedback from those voting for moving this page to Hodur. Two of them (Septentrionalis and Jonathunder) seem to feel that Hodur is the most common anglicization and should thus be used. Another two (DreamGuy and CDThieme) seem more concerned about replacing the 'ö' and the 'ð' than on specifically which ascii version to use. The other four support voters have not annotated their votes or participated in the discussion so I've got no insight into what specifically their concerns are here. Since we are currently trying to formulate new guidelines for the representation of Old Norse names on Wikipedia more feedback would be appreciated. - Haukur Þorgeirsson 19:07, 13 October 2005 (UTC)

text: Haukurth, it is very possible that their main motivation is that they simply don't like the characters.--Wiglaf 12:59, 15 October 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I think your right Wiglaf. Most English speakers would write 'Höðr' as Hodr, that's what I'd do if I was writting this character's name. Mark 05:34, 16 October 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Thank you, Mark. I'll put you in the same category as DreamGuy and CDThieme then. I suspect the aversion to 'ð' and 'ö' may, in fact, have motivated most of the support voters. This is useful data for the naming convention. - Haukur Þorgeirsson 11:13, 18 October 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: The support votes

message: A new proposal on the representation of Norse mythology names is now up for a vote. - Haukur Þorgeirsson 00:51, 19 November 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: An incisive analysis. As long as redirects are in place it really doesn't matter so much where the page is located and we shouldn't get worked up over it. We've spent too much time on debating stuff like that in the past and I may well be most guilty. - Haukur 01:30, 6 January 2006 (UTC)

text: That said this vote is old and should be archived. And it was a bit puppet-infested too :) - Haukur 01:31, 6 January 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Norse mythology naming convention vote notice 

message: I know there've been rows before on this guy's name (and, frankly, regardless of the discussion above this page is in completely the wrong place) but Hodh should not redirect here at all. It's not even a form of this name and Google Books and Scholar make it clear that the West African region is by far the . — LlywelynII 09:16, 18 April 2014 (UTC)
