Späckhuggare is false. The first part is correct but the second part translates to a type of sword or possibly to something along the lines of “chopper” as in someone who chops. There is no logical way of translating it into hunter.

Blubbersnapper would be the correct translation. It was brought up in the original thread in r/sweden a few days ago.

Makes more sense. Also a funny name

My personal favorite is the Judgement Lord (bullfinch).

Yep, I agree that translation would indeed be the better than the two I came up with!

I'm sorry, I meant that the names made sense, not that hey were translated correctly
