The only better name "generator" would have to be picking up a dictionary, thesaurus and heading over to a translation site, to type in alternate or foreign words to use. Steve's gens are all awesome, if sometimes a leeeetle weird

Actually, all of those names are prefaced by "Umbral". Umbral Fist, Umbral Pact, Umbral Lantern, etc. I generally start the process of naming my characters by cursing the devs for stealing my name for their Warshades.

I just go for 3+ word names that no one else in their right mind would have thought of. Winter's True Spirit; Icy Grip of the Bear; Xureen Zahl Zhut; Fire's Bold Burn...

I've seen some interesting Winter's out there, though. I always kinda want to see whether they could fit with her sg but they never do.

Agreed. Hebrew is great source of names because they have such great terms to describe things. I have a Sonic/Sonic corruptor named Lashon Hara, which means "evil tongue" or someone who spreads gossip. There are loads of other great names you can get from languages which use really visual descriptions for terms.

I also like to come up with a concept and then do a search for the gods of those powers. You can get great names from the pantheons of all kinds of cultures that are less commonly used than Greek/Roman/Norse names: Hawiian, Aztec, Egyptian, Indian, etc. Sometimes I combine the names of large or small dieties to get a name I like.
