Help me with a cool name for a dwarf's weapon

I'm gearing up a new dwarf character to play in a game tonight. He uses an axe that's been handed down through his family and was thinking that a named weapon would be pretty cool, you know, something like Glamdring the Foe-Hammer and the like.

Any ideas for cool suitably dwarfish named weapon? Any help would be appreciated as I'm just brainstorming right now.
Thanks!

A couple examples....

My dwarven fighter/wizard carries a two-handed flaming burst war maul called Runefire. It has a large dwarven rune symbolizing fire on the face of it that glows red-hot when it's being used.

A previous dwarven fighter of mine had a flaming short sword called Trollburn.

How about....

Brimstone
Orcslayer
Blood Reaver
Skull Splitter
Giant Killer

Or something along those lines...

Hmm...
Orc Splitter,
Giant Crusher,
Goblin Slicer,
Ogre Masher,
Dragon Squisher?
Drow Jucier?

What about...
Mordin's Mallet or Cave Carver

You could always go with the old standby's like...
Belly Spiller or Neck Ripper?
 

How about:

Helmcleaver
Runeblade
Headsplitter
Deathknell
and my personal favorite, Carnage

How about making the axe have a legend surrouding it and then naming the axe after that legend? Like how about this- Great-Great-Great-Grandpa Quincy was surrounded in all directions by goblins, orcs, trolls, and other evill humanoid scum. He had to flee deep into the diamond mines, into an abandoned shaft. He looked around, but it was a dead end. But he noticed something- the only thing holding this part of the cavern was a pillar of diamonds. Quicy thought to himself, can my axe even have a chance of slicing through this diamond pillar to make this cavern collapse on my enemies? Could I avenge my clan doing this? So Quicy prayed to Clangadin (or whoever the dwarven god is) and swung a mighty blow against the pillar. The whole mine shook with just the force of the blow, and the pillar started to crack, little-by-little, the crack got wider, until the whole pillar collasped. So did the whole mine shaft, covering everything inside and wiping out the horde of evil gobllin scum. And what about the hero, Quincy. He arose from the rubble miraculously unharmed, saved by covering himself with his trusty axe. From that day forward, his axe would be known as Old Faithful Diamondsplitter... or something like that. You could have the axe be some sort of family heirloom or sacred weapon that has somehow survived through the ages.

But "Percy" is also a nice name :D .
