Naming things is often my favorite part of a game. I try to come up with a theme for each chassis. My spiders were named after fairies, Centurions after Roman weapons, Trebuchets after cavalry commanders, Cataphracts after knights, and Atlai after Titans.

SDR-5D: Navi (Annoying fairy from Ocarina of Time)
CN9-AL: Gladius (Roman Sword)
TBT-7M: Quanah (Parker, Comanche Chief)
CTF-2X: Roland (le Paladin)
CTF-3D: El Cid (Medieval Spanish Hero)
AS7-D-DC: Iapetus (Titan, archetypal)
AS7-D: Themis (Titan of law, order, and custom)

My main ride -
Founders Cat: Magic

Some other Mechs -
Cataphract 3D: Mr. Monster
Cataphract 4X: Pocket Zeus (cause it carries a fairly Zeus-like loadout on a 70-ton chassis)
Stalker 5M: Mecha Villekulla (well, just "Villekulla" since the whole thing is too long: long story behind the name)

JR7-D: Remora
JR7-F: Shadow
JR7-K: Spectre
CN9-A: Sensai
CN9-AL: Ogre
CN9-D: Reaper
JM6-S: Giant

All of the above (Well Spectre was a variant of the Shadow) are 'mechs from Mission Force: Cyberstorm. Since it was a game focused around 'mechs, I felt 'twas appropriate.

Just make a new account. And lose those stupid "X"s around your name. Makes you look like a scrub.

I've nicknamed my CN9-AL The Shark. 250 STD, endo, 2 LLs, 2 MLs, 17 DHS. It's really good for circling slow heavies and tearing them apart.

I call my HGN-733 The Beast. Gauss, 2 ERLL, 4 SRM4. Doesn't matter what range you are at, she will **** you up.

Some highlights.

Cent A: Naughtius
Atlas D: Freyja
Atlas D-DC: Skadi
Highlander 732: Thrym
Highlander 733: Gyme
Cataphract 2X: Kataphraktos
Cataphract 4X: Clibanari

There's always something of a naming theme going. The Atlas mechs were all female Norse deities, the Highlanders are male Jotuns, the Cataphracts were various ancient heavy cavalry.

I named my Awesome 8Q Edward.

So far it hasn't quite lived up to expectations and has lost every match I took it in. It's probably because there aren't any glittery paints in the game (PGI, hint hint.) I'm planning to name my future 9M Jacob, and see if it does any better. I'm saving Bella for the Pretty Baby.

Since I bought some Highlanders;
HGN-733C: Claymore-733
HGN-733P: Partikel-733
I haven't decided on a name for the third, but I haven't basic'd the 733P so I have time.

If I ever buy a Misery it might end up being named Athlon or Presler or something about scars.

Also, here's my previous list from the previous post.
