Just like Thorson, Thison, Tyson(coincidence that it's a tribute to a
God of War, and owned by Mike Tyson?), Odson, etc, etc. :)
At any rate, Freyr and Freya were the Norse God and Goddess of
fertility. Temples dedicated to Freyr had his statue depicted of a
*ahem* WELL-endowed male and Freya a very sexy("big birthin'
hips")female. Not to boost your ego, Katt, but if *Tyson* is a good
fighter... :)
Oh, and Tyr wasn't a war leader, he was a war god. Contrary to what
some Marvel comics would have you believe, it was not Thor. Thor's
ideals were more along the lines of principles(such as they were 1000+
years ago) and Justice, not war.
