I have recently started watching this as well. I previously avoided it because I am interested in that time and feared it would be too dumbed-down historically. But I find it close enough for entertainment. Besides, I was a Skyrim fan and so I am amused whenever someone mentions "Ragnar", that name being used in a ditty in the game.
Ragnar the Red! There is also a character named Ragnar in Karthwasten. In the series they also use an accent similar to the accent of the Nords in Skyrim.
There are still people named Ragnar or one of its varieties (Rainier, Reinier, Redginar). I've met Dutch people named Reinier (pronounced Raineer).
