[name_f]Lauren[/name_f] has ranked for males multiple times before
It kind of bothers me that the system works so perfectly about masculine names on females but not the other way round.

Ubbe (Old Norse) "wolf"
Ubbe (or Ubba) Ragnarsson was a 9th century [name_m]Danish[/name_m] Viking leader. Together with [name_m]Halfdan[/name_m] Ragnarsson and [name_m]Ivar[/name_m] The Boneless he lead the famous Great Heathen [name_m]Army[/name_m] who invaded [name_f]England[/name_f] in 865 A.D.
Frigg (Old Norse) "love"
Frigg is a goddess of Norse/Germanic mythology. She is associated with marriage, prophecy, clairvoyance and motherhood. Frigg is the wife of [name_m]Odin[/name_m]. There is a lot of debate about wether Frigg and [name_f]Freja[/name_f] are the same goddess. This is what the [name_m]Dutch[/name_m] wikipedia says (I translated it):
Wiki on Frigg and [name_f]Freja[/name_f]
“Frigg is the highest goddess of the Æsir, where [name_f]Freya[/name_f] is the highest goddess of the Vanir. There have been many arguments for and against the idea that Frigg and [name_f]Freya[/name_f] are in fact the same goddess, avatars of each other. Some rely on linguistic analyses, others on the fact that [name_f]Freya[/name_f] was not known in the south, but rather in the far north. In some places they were also regarded as the same goddess, in others as different.”
Atla (Old Norse) - water goddess, the combative
According to Norse mythology, Atla was one of the “nine daughters of Aegir”. Together, the nine sisters represented the waves.
Lindir (Tolkien name, Quanya) - song man, singer
Lindir was an [name_f]Elf[/name_f] in [name_m]Lord[/name_m] Of The Rings. The name Lindir seems to be composed of lind (“tune”) + dîr (“man”), therefore meaning “Song Man”.
Nimrodel (Tolkien name, Quenya) - lady of the White Grotto
Nimrodel was an Elf-maid from LOTR. She travelled into the southern lands of Middle [name_f]Earth[/name_f] and became lost in the White Mountains.
Fíriel (Tolkien name, Quenya) - mortal woman
