Nothing leaps to mind for a connected pair of names with similar meaning.
There are a few other individual names; Kitchen Sink, Nine Yards and Enchilada but ... no paired names that I can think of...
Eastern Standard Time (Australia)
is 15 hours ahead of
Eastern Standard Time (North America)
which is 5 hours behind
Greenwich Mean Time (GMT)
Ooh, yeah, I'll play!
Expanding one of Fernrisulfr's... "Everything" and "The Kitchen Sink"
"All that" and "A Bag of Chips"
"Soup" to "Nuts"
"Long of it" and "Short of it" You could put 'The' in the front of those.
"Bells" and "Whistles", but that's not exactly right...
"Across" and "The Board"
"Wall" to "Wall". Although, you'll probably have to do it "Wal1" and "Wa1l" or maybe "WalI" and "WaIl"...
"Hook" "Line" and "Sinker", but you only have two, so... Maybe "Hookline" and "Sinker".... no, that's stupid, forget I said it....
'bout all I got, sans what you have up there.
August 31, 2012. A Day that will Live in Infamy. Or Information. Possibly Influence. Well, Inf, anyway. Thank you, Paragon Studios, for what you did, and the enjoyment and camaraderie you brought.

That may not be the exact criteria, but it's pretty close and has a nice aesthetic to it. I'd still like to hear what anyone else has to offer for ideas but this would be a good backup plan.|

I found a decent list of American English idioms, and on it was also "whole ball of wax", but that doesn't really sound stylish. Also was "whole shooting match", but again doesn't sound as stylish as the main six.
Maybe something from European English...
The off-beat space pirate...Capt. Stormrider (50+3 Elec/Storm Science Corruptor)
The mysterious Djinn...Emerald Dervish (50+1 DB/DA Magic Stalker)
The psychotic inventor...Dollmaster (50 Bot/FF Tech Mastermind)

as Ood Sigma said....We will sing to you, Doctor. The universe will sing you to your sleep. This song is ending. But the story never ends.
I actually really like "Bells" and "Whistles," specifically because it doesn't fit exactly with the others. Your "real" robots are all permanent pets. Your Lore pets are temporary. They're only around for a few minutes, and only when you really need them. They're extras. Non-standard features. Add-ons. Bells and Whistles.

ARE YOU SERIOUS MASTERMINDS CAN NAME THEIR LORE PETS OMG OMG OMG NOW I GET TO NAME MY MM'S ROBOT DRONES TOO OMG!!!
Okay, I'm better now. Just had to get that out.
FUN FACT: That burst of light when you level up is actually the effectiveness escaping from your enhancements all at once.
Wait MMs can name their lores? Really? I know my demon/traps can't name the trap pets.

Nobody can name traps, just pets you can actually issue commands to. So MM primary pets and, apparently, Lore pets.|

So my Bots/FF Mastermind, Dollmaster, is rapidly approaching Lore unlock. From what I gather, MMs are unique in that they can name their Lore pets. This poses a unique problem for me, because I have a pretty rigid naming scheme that, up until now, fit the amount of pets I had perfectly. They are...
Battle Drones: Lock, Stock, and Barrel
Protector Bots: Kit and Kaboodle
Assault Bot: Shabang
So each grouping of pets refers to a turn of phrase meaning "a group of constituent items". Until now, this has been a flawless naming scheme, but the addition of two more pets throws everything off. I've been trying for a long time now to think up another phrase with the same meaning, consisting of two key words. Unfortunately, I'm coming up dry. Sadly, the lack of any ideas is actually holding me back from pushing onward to Lore, because I know it'll drive me nuts if my naming scheme is ruined.
In short, I'm looking for ideas. With the aforementioned criteria, can anyone think of a good pair of names?
