** Artifact weapons created by moody dwarves also get names. Although the randomly-generated names (or rather the English translation of the names) are often somewhat underwhelming. Such as Totmontorir, The Flowery Void, a giant leopard bone battle axe (which, for the record, [[BlingOfWar is encrusted with bismuthinite and studden with electrum, menaces with spikes of native silver and violet spessartine]], has an image of a dwarf in giant leopard bone, an image of a mountain in gian leopard bone, an image of clouds in [[Squick human bone]] and and image of clouds in rose gold.

His success is attributed to having had the lance -- they say he died once he dropped it. A number of other paladins had names for their swords: Ogier's Curtana, Oliver's Hautclaire, and Archbishop Turpin's Almace.

* ''AdventureTime'' has the great hero Billy, whose sword is (presumably) called "Nothung", after Siegfried's sword in ''DerRingDesNibelungen'' (the same sword that's referred to as Gram and Balmung in the Myth & Legend section). However, since this is a show for kids who would ''never'' get the reference, it was probably just an excuse to have Billy shout "[[GettingCrapPastTheRadar No tongue!]]" every time he calls his sword.
