I think b-dog may be on to something.
Their are strange words for geological features in Scandanavia, namely 'fjords.'
That initial double consonant beginning with an 'f' fits the 'fnord' pattern very well.
Maybe Fnordland is kind of like the upside-down in Doug's realm.
The weird thing about the name Nordland is that not only is the initial 'F' silent, it's also invisible.
