Let's see time to make up his mothers maiden name. ..... What goes well with Marthdia? She's a Nord, so she likely has a title or clan name, not an actual surname. But for ideas, go to UESP, then click on Lore, then Appendices, then names, then select Nord and scroll down to their titles and clan names. Find inspiration there.
From what you said, she could easily be a Greymane as well, since the Stormcloaks won and the Dovahkin probably freed the one Greymane brother from the Thalmor, and he could have went on to become a great hero in the war.

Does it have to be a name that fits in the universe I named an inn keeper named Pete and a wolf name Star?

I'll consider greymane but will check what you said thanks Golur and GX. You've been a tremendous help.

Does it have to be a name that fits in the universe I named an inn keeper named Pete and a wolf name Star? Not really, but it helps if the names blend in. I would advise following the same instructions I gave to emperor about finding names (too busy to post a link right now). If you're going to give someone a name, do some research and find a name that fits in with the naming traditions of the TES series and the culture of their race. You can also modify names that you see on UESP if you like them but don't want to use the exact same name.

No problem, emperor. No one can do everything on their own, so I'm always glad to help out.

OK I will change Lucinda's name to give her something more proper for a nord and think of proper names for Fransis parents. The reason I chose Fransis is b/c of how the name is associated w/ him and animals but if it becomes too much of a standout I will find a good imperial name to give him.

Fransis is fine for an Imperial.

OK I will make sure to reaserch a name for Lucinda,and Fransis parents. I was kind of making up as i went along but reaserching will probably help with the flow.

Quick question, Are we going with Dragonborn helping the stormcloaks win the civil war, or drag born helping the imperials canon?

Stormcloaks win Dragonborn may or may not have helped.
Dawnguard beat the Volkihar vampires, Dragonborn may or may not have helped.
Dragonborn defeated and killed Miraak. Dragonborn also stopped the Ash Spawn attacks on Solstheim and killed Ildari Sarothil.
Titus Mede II died sometime during the Dragon Crisis, Dark Brotherhood gained a new listener. May or may not have been Dragonborn
Kodlak Whiteman died, Wuuthrad reforged, and Lycanthropy was no longer a requirement for the Circle. Dragonborn may or may not have been present.
Eye of Magnus discovered and Ancano defeated. Salvos Aren died and was replaced.
Twilight Sepulcher restored and Thieves Guild returned to former glory. Dragonborn may or may not have been present.
That's all the canon for what the Dragonbron may have done besides slaying Alduin. Essentially, all factions besides Volkihar vampires and Empire are canon, but the Dragonborn may or may not have been involved.

Wuuthrad is an axe wielded by ygrasmor (how you spell it right?)
Also are the companions still active?
I added them in the story, though can edit if they were disbanded along the centuries. Bonus point would be having to name some of them. Though I find it unlikely that they wouldn't find a leader after 8 centuries. And hesitant to appoint one or Siegemund as the leader eventually.
Leaning towards the leaderless thing though.

There is no leader of the Companions. There's the Harbinger, who is essentially the wiseman, but no leader.
I didn't make this clear. The Harbinger was replaced by someone. Whether they're still active now is up to Neo. Most likely yes, as they had been around ever since ME 1000 when Ysgramor and the 500 Companions arrived in Tamriel.

More lore.
Race, Gender, and General Info on the Jarls of Skyrim.
High King Wolfgar the Great: Nord, Male, married to Jarl Preya the just. Has one child, a daughter named Kynareth, after the goddess, who went missing several months ago. Battle hardened and stubborn, his fiery personality is a stark contrast to his wife's calm demeanor. He earned his title 'The Great' during the '100 day war', in 4E 960, when the Falmer attempted to conquer Skyrim. Despite his advisors warning him not to, he joined the front lines himself, and with his mighty Warhammer Mjonir, singlehandedly slew over a hundred falmer.
Jarl Preya the Just: Nord, Female, married to High King Wolfgar. She is a shrewd diplomat and cunning tactician, and is often regarded as a genius. Her calm demeanor is rarely broken, but it's said if it does, her wrath is a thousand times worse than her husband's. Because of her gift for politics and strategy, and her husband's gift for war, they are widely considered to be invincible when together.
Jarl Taryn Stormcaller: Nord, Female, widowed. One of the youngest Jarls in Whiterun's history, and one of the most beloved. She rose through the ranks of the Companions before ascending to the throne, and is still the current Harbinger of the Companions. She is a sight to behold on the battlefield, and earned the title Stormcaller when she Shouted at the weather, actually calling a storm, during a Companion raid on a large bandit stronghold. Her former husband, Darus, died in the 100 day war. She has no children. It is rumored she is a werewolf, but those rumors are unfounded.
Jarl Nelod Wise-Sight: High Elf, Male, single. The first Elven Jarl in Windhelm's history, he ascended to the throne in a very unlikely chain of events, now known as 'The Snow Days'. During the worst winter in Windhelm's history, the previous Jarl and his two children fell ill. Despite the efforts of priests, healers, and doctors from all over Skyrim, the Jarl and his children perished, in what many still believe to be sorcery, and a clever assassination. The Jarl's Steward, Nelod, was appointed the new Jarl.
Jarl Delphne Oathbreaker: Breton, Female, married to Thonar Oathbreaker. Rumored to be a direct descendant of the Last Dragonborn, though this is mostly wild conjecture. Her Steward, Greymar Stormbrook, is often left in charge of the city, as the Jarl herself travels a lot. What most people don't know, is that this is due to her being the current Loremaster of the Blades. Her husband, Thonar, is Captain of the Guard.
Jarl Grima Silvertongue: Imperial, Male, single. Rumored to be a former member of Cyrodiil's Thieves Guild, it is even believed he knows the identity of the 'Fox', though that is more than likely a rumor spread by the man himself. He is the youngest Jarl in recorded history, and he seized the throne through guile and cunning, despite not being related to the previous Jarl. It is said he can charm any woman, and even talk an angry giant down.
Jarl Senna Nightcloak: Dark Elf, Female, single. She is the first Dunmer Jarl in Skyrim's history, and is widely believed to be the direct descendant of the King in Rags. While Markarth is technically still owned by the Nords, it is rumored the Forsworn conquered the Reach years ago in a Shadow War, and are merely biding their time. Much about Jarl Senna is unknown, but she has proved a surprisingly good ruler.
Jarl Olfrid Greatbeard: Nord, Male, married to Helga Greatbeard. Jarl Olfrid is known for three main things; his love of song, battle, and his very long, beautiful beard. It is widely reported his hall is often filled with music, and he often joins his own guards on what he calls hunting trips. Loud and boisterous, his personality is only matched by his wife, whom he both loves and fears. Winterhold has flourished under his reign, and the city has now regained most of what it lost in the Great Collapse, nearly a thousand years ago. The College is much more respected these days, and stands as a testament to time.
Jarl Of a Thousand Words: Argonian, Male, married to From Blackest Night. The first Argonian Jarl in Skyrim's history, he was actually adopted and raised by nords, in Darkwater Crossing. His true parents are unknown, even to him. He and his wife are both very wise and knowledgeable, and prefer to settle debates with reason, rather than fists. He is often referred to as Jarl Thousand, and his wife is often called Night.
Jarl Devin Malcrock: Nord, Male, married to Delia Malcrock. A man with a love of gambling, wine, and song, and a penchant for the less savory arts, he is probably the most non-nordic Nord who ever lived, and perhaps the oddest Jarl of all. He has one older brother, Nystrom, who abdicated the throne in favor of a more adventurous life. His courtship of the Innkeeper's daughter in his own city, whom he eventually married, is the favorite of bards everywhere, and was even turned into a popular romance novel and play.

The current Harbinger is the Jarl of Whiterun, Taryn Stormcaller.

What's ironic?
If you mean the companions then yeah, I was interested in them and since Siegemund needed a job I was hoping he could sort of become Thane along the way although much later.
So does Taryn hand out the missions or does she have someone give them? I created a char named Bela, so... I suppose she could hand out the quests?
If that's alright with you of course

It's ironic that you asked a question about the Harbinger, while I was in the middle of posting the info about Taryn. Either Taryn, or the Circle will hand out missions. The Circle is a small group of the most powerful and trusted Companions. I have not created all of the Circle yet, so if you want Bela to be a member of the Circle, that's fine. Just PM me Bela's full details, as the Circle are fairly important, and I will need to know everything about her.

Just as a heads up, so everyone is aware, I will be writing for all the Jarls and the High King, as well as any important plot characters.
Ex- The Listener, Orochi, Queen Redoran, Sithis, etc.
However, the only Daedric Prince I will write for is Nocturnal.
