2: Herkir Vargtämjare -New Name (NP)

Submitter desires a gender-neutral name.
The following changes are allowed: Allows changes that don't change the meaning of wolf tamer
Meaning (Wolf tamer) most important.

Herkir is a scandinavian name, around 1300 found in [E.H. Lind].

Vargr temjandi is a constructed byname. In [Finnur Jónsson's "Tilnavne i den Islandske Oldlitteratur"] there is bynames meaning wolf, such as gylðir and varg.

While we don't have temjandi as a documented byname, we do have other occupational bynames, such as biørnakarl (bear hunter) and hestageldir (horse-gelder. Using the Linqua Societatis rule, this byname can be translated to the desired form Vargtämjare
