Tore is the modern form of a classic viking name, ya know. The most famous Tore was Tore Hund who was one of the chieftains opposing King Olaf II (who made it his mission to christen Norway) and who killed Olaf at the battle of Stiklestad.

After Olaf died, of course he was sainted and eventually the cathedral Nidarosdomen was built on his place of burial. Tore himself went into mythdom as a sort of anti-christian boogeyman. There's a story of him from somewhere where they wanted to build a church and this made Tore angry. He raised his bow and fired his arrow in the direction of the new church, but luckily there was a mountain in the way. His arrow blast a hole through the mountain side, but it was slowed down enough so that it just missed the church.
Pretty metal stuff. Me and Hund have a lot in common.
