Raven-3L: Korppi (Raven in Finnish).
Catapult-C1: Currently at default. I'm planning on renaming it to Ilves (Lynx in Finnish)
Catapult-K2: Star. Not a bad name, but I originally wanted Tähti (guess) and was unable to use it because "no umlauts lol". Briefly pondered going with Tahti (pace) but it didn't sound right. Current ideas for a better name include Valo (Light) and Ukkonen (Thunder). In a humorous mood I might go with K4tt (Swedish for Cat)
Catapult-C4: I was thinking Lemminkäinen, but the lack of umlauts strikes back. Kaukomieli might work. Still have to think about this one,

I recently got a Stealthmando. After 3 or 4 drops, I'm starting to 'click' with it. Yeah, it's made of porcelain and has tissue paper for armor, but that's part of the fun. I'm starting to call it "The Gingerbread Man".

Mine as well, but I've started to nickname a few f mine based on how they perform and how much I like them. I haven't nicknamed my K2, despite having logged more time into it than pretty much any other mech I have. But given that it isn't flashy at all, maybe that's appropriate?

My way of naming mechs can either look pretty standard and at other times I just give them a weird name.

Sold the ones I don't use anymore, currently it's 1 Jag named Hello Panda and 1 Jag named Ragnar, and a 4sp named Gaff. 10 internet points if you can figure out where that one's from.
