some norse names
I would like to know (please and thank you) more about the names
Verthande, Urda and Skuld
These are female names of norse goddeses who were similar to the greek fates
Skuld is future, Urda is past and Verthande is present i believe
they took care of the tre of life named Yggdrasil, whose branchs spread all out over the earth, into the sky, and into the ground (the underworld)
I am interested in these names bcz in a Japanese Anime series called Ah, My Goddess or Oh, My Goddess (i see it different all the time)
the names of the three goddesses are from the names of the norse gods.
Urda becomes Urd, and Verthande became Belldandy because ther is no 'v' or 'th' sound in Japanese
Thank you for your help.~Silver
