Now, lemme see what else I can come up with that hasn't already been mentioned...think...think...think...Ahah! Idea! (I watch too much Jimmy Neutron. Blame it on that) I mentioned a poem about it before, right? Turns out it was a song; my bad but it's practically the same. Anywho, this is the part where Hild is mentioned.
*~*
Valkyries I saw, coming from afar,
Eagerly riding to aid the Goths;
Skuld bore one shield, Skogul another
Gunn, Hild, Gondul and Spearskogul:
Duly have I named the daughters of Odhinn,
The valiant riders the Valkyries.

I think Peorth and Rind are the names of some Norse runes or something, although I'm not quite sure about that. Their names aren't mentioned with the gods, anyway, so it's possible.
The Norse mythology is a rich one, and although it is similar to the Roman and Greek mythology, it still has some unique parts that aren't mentioned in either. I only hate the tale of our creation. That's just gross.
