Character names are fairly inconsistent through the series. Modern Scandinavian forms, Latin forms and old Norse forms are used invariably. For example, Kjetill is the modern Norwegian form of Ketill, with the "kj" pronounced with as the "ch" in German "ich". In old Norse it would be with a hard "k". In contrast, the character Egil the bastard has his name pronounced with a hard "g" like in old Norse (and some continental Scandinavian dialects) as opposed to the modern Icelandic which pronounces the name with a soft "g".
