Question about giving names to Wōden

So I'm trying to reconstruct/give some names to the All-Father, and I was wondering if I can use/make ones that aren't really considered his names.

I have so far: • Ælfæder - Allfather • Grīma - mask(ed one) • Langbeard - Long-beard • Hwetmōd - Whet-Courage • Hreðel/Hrǣdel - The Glorious one • Herela - Warrior host(?) • Ēormen - Mighty one(?) • Wīdsīð - Far-Traveller • Heorrenda - Hinged/hanged one(?) • Wælfæder - Father of the slain

I want to add "Heregrīma" (battle-mask) and use other poetic names that would describe him. Would this be okay? I've been a pagan for a bit now but I wanna start giving Sē Ælfæder more names.

Small Rodent(?) Skull in MI

So, my dad found this skull when he was out scouting(?) A while back, and I've been trying to figure out what animal it is. I'm finding skulls that are close, but not exactly the same as this one. Any clues as to what it might be?

We only have the upper skull. It has 6 molars, maybe at one time 8, and 2 incisors. It's a rodent of some type, but I can't find which one. It's just about 3 inches long.

My thoughts on a full Gothic Pantheon

So, I was bored this morning and decided to go through the internet and find cognates for some of the more common deities among the Germanic peoples names or cognates in Gothic, and here's what I have (BTW I am not an expert on Gothic paganism, I'm a fyrnsidu practicer). With this, I present to ēow wlitigum hæðnum "Gutiskai Ansjus (Gothic Gods)"

Gáuts, Teíws, Faírguneís, Iggus, and Dōnaws are all deities professionals think they worshipped.

I have also reconstructed *Frijō or *Frijjō for Frigg/Frīg.

Based on common worship among most of the other Germanic peoples, I think it's safe to say Mēno and Sunnō/Sauil were worshipped (Máni/Mōna, Sól/Sunne/Sigel), as well as possibly Auzandil (Aurvandill/Earendel), the morning star. (Tho Auzandil is a little less likely, IMO)

This is just my thoughts, what do you guys think?
