I've always had trouble coming up with alternatives to the word Green, but the Thesaurus is no help there. 
Emerald and Jade are the only ones that I can think of. But to me, they seem more feminine than masculine. Other words seem to be plant related, but was going for the 'willpower ring' concept... and concept as opposed to a complete ripoff.
Any ideas?
Well, if you are going for a COH tribute to Green Lantern, I would probably go with a different color altogether to avoid getting generic-ed.
Here's a wiki page on Shades of Green. You might also consider other language words for Green, like Verde in Spanish, which is the base for Verdant.
Verdant is a pretty cool name by itself but you can add something before or after -- Captain Verdant, Verdant Man, Verdant Defender, etc

I thought about that. But with the entire spectrum having a corresponding ring now, I figured it was kind've redundant. *shrugs*|

I should've thought of Wikipedia.
Thank you.

Thanks dude!

You do understand that "the willpower ring" concept is, as you say, a ripoff regardless of if you think it is a complete rip-off or not. Both are still copyright infringement as we can clearly see it has to do with the Green Lantern and related Green Lantern Corp which are the intellectual properties of DC Comics. The same DC Comics which is working on their own MMORPG and would be more than willing to sue our game just like Marvel did. So please, follow the EULA and Rules of Conduct.|

I'm not even sure why you brought that up other than to confront the issue about creating copyright infringing characters.
I made it clear that I wouldn't help players that were doing this.
Clearly, you do not want my help.
If you would have gone about your post without clearly pointing out the copyright infringement issues, I would have been more than willing to help and do know alternate words that are or imply Green.
Also, I created this thread to help players with naming issues and set up some rule to follow, which you have ignored completely.
Thanks for playing. Try again.
---
Though I do appreciate other posters trying to help with this thread, I don't appreciate the fact that some of you are helping a player that is intentionally trying to break the EULA and the rules of the thread.
I know that some don't care.
I just wanted to make it clear where I stood on this, and that it is NOT my intention to help players find names for characters that are infringing on the copyrights of others.
I think green and I think of Envy, Hazel, Aquamarine, moss, Foliage, fara and fauna, jungle, veggies, lol, sorry just trying to kick around some terms that might spark an idea for you! Good -Luck. 
Okay, so it's starting to get out of hand again.
So I thought about where to post this thread.
It's kind of like a mini-game, so I'm posting it here.
If you need help getting a name, maybe there are people here that are willing to help. They might not respond as fast as you like, but then their time and creativity is a commodity that might be worth waiting for!
So here are the rough-outline rules:
Seriously, I am putting some time into this. I'm not going to be able to help all the time every day, but I think that there are some forum goers that would be willing to help on this project. I would hope some of those that are trying to help would respect the EULA and Code of Conduct and help players pick names that will not be genericized.
Telling someone that is potentially going to breaking the EULA or Codes of Conduct "to just be more sneaky about it" is trying to avoid the systems that are in place. An exploit is using a "loop hole" in the system or actively trying to avoid the systems that are in place in order to enforce the EULA and Codes of Conduct.
So let's see what we can do to help the players that are at a loss for creating unique names for their unique characters.
[NOTE :: It is against the EULA to infringe on the copyright or trademarks of others while creating character costumes or naming characters in game. As this is the case, this thread is for helping players that are NOT trying to break the EULA either intentionally or non-intentionally.
Making a Green Lantern in City of Heroes is one such example.
To make this clear, stating that "your concept is creating a character based on a copyrighted/trademarked character, but that you aren't copying the copyrighted/trademarked character" when, in fact you are in some thinly veiled manner doing just that, does not mean that you aren't in violation of that copyright/trademark and breaking the EULA.
I see no reason to generate names that 1) Break the EULA and/or 2) will be genericized because they break the EULA. That is why I intentionally put this note in questions 2 and 3. Continually breaking the EULA can lead to account banning, and I don't think any of us what that to happen to a player that is having a hard time naming their characters.]
