if you look in most baby naming books they'l often tell you the origins of the names and quite a few of them come from pagan pre-christian societies. Celtic, gaeilic, nordic, germanic and others. I named my youngest daughter Rhiannon - a celtic Goddess.
You could decide on using numerology and find the numbers whoses energy you wish to take on, then work out a name from that. Otherwise you can use runic letters to spell out a name you make up which acts like a bind rune. ( a selection of runes that work on each others energy to increase or effect its power). Decide which runes you want to embody (the leaves of yggrdrasil by freya aswyn is a really good reference book) and make up your name from that.
hope this helps
