Hi, for those of you who were not born in sweden, finland, norway or iceland and don't have a clue about Norse mythology:
Huginn and Muninn
Sleipnir
Ragnarok
Nidhoggur
Fenrir
Hel
Naglfar
Did I miss any?
Oh, and by the way, Huginn is pronounced "hoogin" or "hewgin" even, definately not "huggin'" as heard on Eve-TV. Same goes for Muninn: "moonin" or "mewnin" is correct.

Mewnin ???
Hewgin ???
eh? oh... yea... that is your Swedish 
In Denmark we do pronounce it "Hoogin" and "Moonin" as far as i know... maybe Moonin is more like "Myynin" spoken out load with a rusty old vikings accent..

Heh...yea, that's what it sounds like in swedish anyway. But Hoogin and Moonin would probalby be better.

You're also wrong. Mewnin and Hewgin are way out there, hoogin and moonin are closer but still wrong.
Speaking as a native icelandic speaker, It's pretty much impossible to "type" the correct pronouncation in english, as the U and G sounds in Huginn and Muninn simply do not exist in english.

The early documentation for the Chinese server had a lot of background on the races thet we've never seen, it mentioned that linguistically/culturally the Minmatar were Scandinavian/African, with a few other things thrown in. Caldari were Finnish/something (hence all the Finnish Caldari names). Amarr were Serbian/something, Gallente were French/something.

If Minmatar get these ship names so close to Icelandic heritage, why does CCP seem to think about Minmatar last all the time?

A few other (non-ship) items that I don't have time to dig up links for:
Gjallerhorn (Minmatar superweapon; the name is highly appropriate)
Mjolnir torpedo
Thor capital torpedo
The interested can surely dig up their own links :)

Finland isint part of norse mythology really (some parts are, but Finland have different mythology), as we were not viking nation. We have Kalevala, own gods and way different mythology.

Nagl-far. Still not entirely accurate, as the L sound, once again, doesn't exist in english.
The easiest and closest way for a english speaker however would be something like Nag-l-far. That still leaves the L pretty skewed.
Those three consonants in a row doesn't work in English. Is the word three syllables? Two and a half? Or is it just hopeless for a non-Viking?

It's two. Nagl-far. The gl is nearly identical to the gl in Glide, for instance.

If Nidhoggur is a cool dragon in mythology, why does the ship just look like someone ripped the roof off a barn?

Not technically ships, but still a part of Norse Mythology Nonetheless.
Do note that they (predominantly) do explosive damage, which is the Minmatar racial damage type. 
The Berserker heavy drone also does explosive damage, and its namesake is of Norse origin as well.
