Good internet sites:
Old Icelandic Dictionary (Old Norse)
http://www.northvegr.org/zoega/index.php
Germanic Lexicon Project
http://www.ling.upenn.edu/~kurisuto/germanic/language_resources.html
Simple Old English wordlist
http://www.mun.ca/Ansaxdat/vocab/wordlist.html
Good Books:
A Dictionary of English Surnames (PH Reaney)
A Dictionary of British Place Names (AD Mills)
Dictionary of Surnames (Hanks & Hodges)
Chambers Dictionary of Etymology
Unfortunately I haven't got any books or reference sites on Old Norse or Old English first names (although I'm sure there are some) so you have to search about a bit.
I hope this helps you :)
