HK-42 Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 I need a name for a Sith Trooper, like in Kotor one of the red ones. Nickname like fox not a number please. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JediMaster12 Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 My suggestion is to think like a miltary man. Look at the personality traits of this character. Is he cocky? Is he a maverick? One that I came up with is Tiger but that's simple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabretooth Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 Try some exotic animals How about "Black Mamba", or "Cobra", or "Sidewinder", or "Bill". <_< >_> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
igyman Posted January 11, 2007 Author Share Posted January 11, 2007 Since he's a Sith Trooper you need to think of some animals with a ''badass'' reputation, for example: Scorpion, Scarab, Hyena, Chameleon, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anglu Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 Does anyone know about the characteristics of telosian names? I need some family-names, a last name for Jordo, for example, and maybe also some first names. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
igyman Posted January 26, 2007 Author Share Posted January 26, 2007 Well, apart from Carth Onasi, his son Dustil and Lt. Dol Grenn, I don't remember any other Telosian name even being mentioned in the two KoTOR games. I have checked the article on wookieepedia, but haven't found many useful references, here's the link in case you want to check it out anyway: http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Telos If I find anything I'll post it here, but for now all I can suggest is to use those three names as references and invent some of your own. If you still can't think of any names, I will try to think of some for you, but tell me exactly what kinds of names do you need (male, female, how many names, etc.).

Anglu Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 Well, the problem is, that I still don't know exactly, how many Names I'll need, except of the last name for Jordo. But Thank you very much for your help, I will think about the Telosians in my fanfic, so I hope I can be more precise soon.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salzella Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 Christ, someone give me some Republic ship names. Inspiration is dry >.> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
igyman Posted January 30, 2007 Author Share Posted January 30, 2007 What kind of ships do you need names for? Are they capital ships, fighters, transports, or do you need names for all those classes and how many of each do you need? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salzella Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 well, 1 capital ship is all i need at the moment, though a few of all of them would be much apreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
igyman Posted January 30, 2007 Author Share Posted January 30, 2007 OK, let's see... How about these: Inheritor Valiant Herald of Destiny Fist of Fury Light of the Force Unity One Blue Star Burning Sun Red Rancor I admit that some of these might be more appropriate for another class of starship and there are some that can be used for multiple classes. Feel free to use any one, or all of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JediMaster12 Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 This is a name from Starship Troopers: The Roger Young. Also think of famous people or people that were heroes. Ships get named after them like the USS Reagan and the USS Miller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daft Adidas Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 hi all just incase this might help for thinking of good starwarsy, lord of the ringy names think of any word and spell it backwards and if it it sounds ok usei it! Example. Tenner- rennet Ron- Nor Sometimes thinking of the words to turn around can be hard to think of but if you can then you can find some interesting and amusing results!

Arcesious Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 I'm looking for a few new ship anmes- about a dozen or so... I'm writing a story that has some Grand Admiral guy with an insanely huge SSD and a small fleet of other ships. i already have a few names for the SSD, but i need a huge list of good names for the ships escorting it. these ships are Empire ships- all of them are hybrid, super-advanced ships. i want their naes to sound bold and powerful, and inspire fear upon hearign their names. I want original names- not old ones like "Invincible" "Vengeance" " 'Insert Name's' Fist" "Tyrant"... Completely orignal names that none would normally think of. they can be either English-like or Russian-like names. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
igyman Posted August 14, 2007 Author Share Posted August 14, 2007 This'll be a nice challenge for me. Let's see... The Volkov The Chalice of Torment The Centauri The Raskolnikov The Namidyev The Blackhearth The Last Cry The Ferryman The Vrakinadze The Advocate The Damocles The Prepityev That's all I can think of so far. If these don't suit you, or you need more, say so and I'll have another go at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arcesious Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 I'll go with one- Tormentor but i think i want english names instead. i don't even know what half of the ose russian names represetn. lolz. my mistake ina sking for russian names. i just wanted exotic-liek nemas, and the russian language sounded liek it was exotic.

igyman Posted August 14, 2007 Author Share Posted August 14, 2007 Well, they don't represent anything in particular, I just basically thought of Russian last names and wrote up a few. Raskolnikov, though, is the name of the main character of Dostoevsky's ''Crime and Punishment'' (Which I haven't read). Volkov on the other hand is the name of a Soviet ''hero'' unit in C&C Red Alert Aftermath (He was some kind of experimental supersoldier). However, if you want exotic, but not Russian, I recommend something that resembles latin - a name of a Greek, or a Roman god, or a latin phrase even. The Inca and Mayan cultures are even more exotic, IMO, but I don't really know much about their names. Anyway, if you still want me (or anyone else who takes a look at the thread) to try to make up a few names, let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kas'!m Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 Igyman, if you have time, I need a name for a ship, but I'd prefer if it had the name of a precious gem or color and some type of animal in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arcesious Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 Jaspar Tiger? Ruby Python? just a couple ideas for you off the top of my head... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
igyman Posted August 15, 2007 Author Share Posted August 15, 2007 A gem/animal combo. Sure, I'll give it a try. The Serpentine Ruby The Tiger's eye (this is actually the name of a, well, not so precious but nice looking stone) The Panther's Pearl The Spider Topaz The Crimson Hawk The Bronze Cobra The Diamond Drake and just for laughs... The Pink Panther! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

igyman Posted October 5, 2007 Author Share Posted October 5, 2007 Assuming you want an English/American last name, I'm gonna offer a few. (Let me know, if you want a foreign last name and which nationality).

Serpentine Cougar Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 A program that I like to use for coming up with names is Name Mage. It uses rules to generate names instead of picking from a list of pre-determined names. So for example, it'll pick a first syllable from a list of syllables or groups of letters, then pick a middle syllable, and then a third syllable. This way it can come up with names that sound like they fit in a certain fandom without merely picking randomly from a list of names that were already created. And you can even add your own rulesets pretty easily. It's at least worth a look! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
