Well, having "IC" in it is the whole pun of the thing. If you take that out, then it makes no sense at all.
Why, you ask? ... Because "
Nordic
" isn't even the right term. "
Norse
" is.
The word "
" is used when speaking of mythology and mythological entities like
Thor,
Odin,
Yggdrasil, etc.
...whereas "
" is only the word used to describe today's upper European countries along with Greenland, Iceland, etc.
So without the "IC" in it, it doesn't make sense. And one could argue that it doesn't make sense anyway, because Nordic is the improper word, but I've already intimated that it feels forced, and simply reading the above and clicking the links can tell you it's incorrect.
Hence why
Beard of Wisdom
is the best title. Because "Wisdom" implies IC-ness, and "Beard" implies what his Norse avatar has. Also because "Norse Beard of Wisdom" is too long and also sounds forced. But also because "Beard of Wisdom" just flows off the tongue and sounds badass, in addition to being tongue-in-cheek.
Believe it or not, I actually put thought into the titles I suggest. That's why so many of them get nth'd and approved.
), but NordIC by itself just doesn't have a good flow to it.
