The Open Source Names thread

It seems there's a few out there that have enjoyed my thread on nomenclature and giving your toon a name worthy of their heroism and/or villainy, but as somebody pointed out, people who struggle with naming toons might not have contributed for fear of somehow not being "up to scratch" or something.

It can be a very tough thing naming a toon and as we've already discussed, the consensus is that names really are something that define your characters.

So it seemed to me that some of us may find a "pick a name thread" of use, and many of us have names buzzing around our heads that we'll never use, but somebody might well benefit from it.

Some simple guidelines tho if you're posting a name: It has to be one you thought of yourself. It should have a brief description to it. So put simply: Snarflepants; just cuz

Also remember that all names are posted freely but if somebody got there first, that's a shame but nothing we can do about it. It's strictly first come first served. If somebody else got there first, then sorry chum. Have another go

So without further ado, let's rock and please do add your input.

Two from me, one I've wanted to use for ages and one silly one.

Ichneumon : Insect themed character, probably a Ninja/TA (as it sounds oriental), Spines scrapper or */Thorns Dom. Named after a family of wasps which lays its eggs on or in caterpillars (and fascinated me when I was little).

Ironing Man : For the month thats in it. A former Dry Cleaner turned crime fighter.

Mary Scherza: A German female assassin, she is sleek and deadly, and she will kill anyone for the right amount of money...Ninja/Ninjutsu or MA/Regen Stalker

Not great at thinking up names so I only have two pretty bland ones at the moment:

Anna Bergite - Any earth based AT. (Named after a mineral, technically plagiarism but I still liked it.)

Egress - Anyone with the teleport move power. (Roughly means - To exit.)

EDIT: 3 names now:
Terran Surge - Earth or Earth/Elec based AT.

(Also, nice idea for a thread.)


Friends are just enemies that haven't betrayed you yet.

Three names for those who might like something a bit corny so to speak. Always possible some of these are used already though. Might post some serious sounding ones in the future.

Ivor Biggun - Assault Rifle blaster who likes to brag about his weapon
Daisy Bell - Something sonic. Likes to talk your ears off.
Cragnum - Stone tanker private investigator from Hawaii

Psychosice (or, Psychos-Ice)

Currently my Ice Blast/Mental Manip Blaster on Test that I'm never going to make on Live. It could work for any combo of Psi and Ice powers and it's a bad pun to boot.

Just realized that if Beefy McCurri was a Thugs/Poison MM...
His Thugs could be named after various larger brands.
Then they would be larger louts.

Lolz.

Loved the original thread so thought I'd contribute to this one. Whilst coming up with the name Daydream believer for my new Psi/mental blaster I thought of the following song names that would make good hero names.

Sister Morphine - probably a mind control AT
Black Dog - animal like scrapper perhaps
Jumpin' Jack Flash - leccy blaster with jump at a guess

and my favourite - Eldorado - tank built like a city with golden outfit. (with possible cloaking powers to avoid being found)
