Tbh, you don't have to be Nordic to have a basic grasp of mythology from around the world and Yggdrasil is pretty commonly known. Even if people just know it from Marvel comics or heavy metal or something.
Mine, apparently. I don't have any particular connection to Norse mythology afaict, but I've encountered the term "Yggdrasil" at least half a dozen time just surfing on the net.

Somehow I don't think this project is aimed at "normal, mainstream people"...
