GreekTelepath wrote: Could Hale's name be translated as Hel? Because (if I'm not mistaken) Hale is pronounced the same as "hail" which would be "heiru". Instead, we have "heeru". Also, we already have Loki as a reference to Norse mythology, and Hel is also a Norse goddess. Continuing this, her father is named Heaven, so it's fitting she's also named after a type of afterlife. No, it can not be spelled as Hel. Because Hel is pronounced the same as Hell, which is "Heru", which we have already gone over.

One of "Heeru"''s spellings is "Hale". That doesn't mean that it's 100% confirmed but it does mean there isn't really any reason to change it one way or the other.

Not to sound curt but I am perfectly capable of looking something up in a name dictionary when I have gaps in my loanword knowledge. I don't just pull spellings out of my butt.
