Thanks for all the help, everyone! Definitely got a few names to try when I get home.

Or even Queen of Sting?

Going with names translated to other languages is very common for me. A few hollers over global channels usually can get you a native speaker of a dozen languages.
That Vespine thing in also something I would do. I'd wiki wasp and then pick one of the latin or greek phrases that sounded ok.
Hmm.. Vespine.. *ponders snatching the name*

I did a little foolery and named him Buzzz with the extra Z. Had that name on Virtue now for a couple years, might be gone on other servers too.
Incidentally I usually come up with decent names (i think) though many of my first thoughts are usually taken. The only one other than Buzzz I got gimmicky on is Gail-Force (used the hyphen) because the name just 'worked' and I wanted it.

First instance: I was picking hazelnuts one chilly autumn day. There were some yellow jackets around, but I ignored them because I was wearing a nice, sturdy leather coat. When I got back to the car, I heard a buzzing rather close to my ear... I pulled off the coat, turned over the lapel, and was fascinated (& terrified) to see a yellow jacket chewing on the leather!
Second instance: Car camping at a little spot by a creek in one of the many national forests in WA. Could not pull out any food without getting swarmed by yellow jackets within 5 minutes. I am actually terrified of the damn things, and was in a state of near hysterics while trying to fend them off. My BF at the time was a quick thinker, thank goodness... he pulled out his fishing gear, and caught a small trout out of the creek. He then rigged a bee trap with the fish meat. Hooked up a bit of fish meat, and dangled it halfway into a cup with water in the bottom of it. He added just a drop of dish soap to the water to break the surface tension. The yellow jackets would gorge on the meat, fall into the water and drown. We had to add meat and change the water a good half dozen times. Within a few hours, our campsite was yellow jacket free. I kinda felt bad about decimating the yellow jacket population that way, but the birds didn't mind.
As to names.... sorry, I think everyone already came up with all the good ones.

So Aett, any clue what you picked after all these suggestions?

Potential names from this list (and one from the wiki page that DumpleBerry gave me):

Razor Wasp
Hymenoptera
Depending on if any of those are taken, I may be back to check some of the others. Thanks for all the help, everyone!
