Norse names for weapons

We are playing a Viking campaign. My berserk obsessively collects spears and names them. I need a Norse name rescourse or some good words/names from you folks to name his spears. I'm running out of my own at this point.

Odin's spear was named Gungnir, and there was a belief that an oath sworn on it was unbreakable. Marvel is correct that Thor's hammer is named Mjolnir. There is a legend of the sword of Hrut.

I'll do him one better than that, I'll provide some examples.
Bjork = Birch
Bjorn = Bear
Isa = Ice
Tor = Thunder
Is + Bjorn = Isbjorn = Ice Bear
Tor + Bjorn = Torbjorn = Thunder Bear

Also, did you know the Norse had a god of the Biathlon? Seriously, his name is Ull(r), and his portfolio is Archery and Skiing.
