The translation from http://www.surlalunefairytales.com/rumpelstiltskin/ provides different versions of the names guessed by the queen. In the notes the explainations are compelling for their use. On the first day the names are from the Bible, but are uncommon. The second day the names rhyme using the root "shanks" which may be to related to Rumplestiltskin's short stature.
