I named my ON1-P Disco Stu.

I don't know why.

Battle Master BLR-1G [Hannibal]

I've named my Battle Master after the master of Cannae. That Hannibal. Not the fiction Silence of the Lambs character.

My Daishi is named Agamemnon. I'm thinking of re-naming it to Achilles. Legendary warrior and hero of the Pyrrhic Wars.

I have a Jaggermech DD that I have named Duffanichta. It was on of his favourite rides. Players who have been around will know the call sign.

R. I. P. Duff.

[CyclonerM]

Update!
CLPT-C1: "Cycloner's" (not original, i know)
CLPT-K2: "Katapult" (anyone got the reference to MW4?)
Jenner: "Gennaro" (italian name), might change it later to "Jennifer"
Hunchback-4H: "Gobbo" (italian for hunchback)
Shadow Hawk 5M: "Grinner" (as homage to Phelan Kell's Wolfhound, named after his dog).

Which were his other favourites? I might have one and i could name one after him too.

I usually would add Mark #s:

Jagermech JM6-DD Mark IX.

But lately I have been going to individual names;

Stalker M - Nemesis
Stalker 3F - Cruncher 1

[Kalimaster]

JM6-A "The Death Mech". It brought me two kills the first time out on River City Night. One of which was an Atlas.

[Escef]

The Light Show. It gets attention. Something about a mech moving that fast spraying a crapton of lasers around gets attention.

I also named my FS9-K Spoil Sport, because it gets more kills than wins.

[Zplayer]

The one and only CANNON BALLS

[MarineTech]

Most of my mechs have generic names describing what I designed them for so I can know what they are at a glance. There's a few though that I took the time to get creative with.

Jager Firebrand - 2 AC/5, 2 ER LLas, 2 MLas: Chuck Connrz (Fans of old Westerns will know the reference)
Jager DD with 4 AC/2 & 2 MLas - Mr Dakka
Catapult Jester - BirdIsDaWord
Catapult K2 - 2 UAC/5, 4MLas - Hammer Time
ShadowHawk 2D2 - Set up as a fast light hunter - Bugstomper

[Solahma]

Orion Protector is my ON1-Chan

[Kjudoon]

Oh I like this. A bit of fluffy fun. I try to get good naming conventions, but sometimes, I just can't.

JN7-D = Jagermite
ON1-VA = The Pain Train
ON1-K = Oni Slayer
SDH-2D2 = Angel Hawk
SDH-5M = Fury Hawk

My Jelical Catapult collection (see the musical Cats or TS Eliot for better reference)
CPLT-1A = Pouncival
CPLT-1C = Skimbleshanks
CPLT- 4C = Macavity

The nickname for one of my Victors is the Baby Regicide, for its not the full sized Regicide in that it lacks the third ERPPC.

Phineas and Ferb reference? Dr Heinz Doofenshmirtz calls all his weapons the ___________inator.

I have only one like that right now... it's lame. The VTR "Vaccinator". It's a dual ERPPC/Gauss meta for long range shots.

But because it's stupidly awesome:

Made this a while ago, decided to make it my signature.

[Euklides]

I usually hold on the naming of my mechs to when I notice a paricular trait or reoccurring behavior:
An example being my first and probably most loved mech, the locust 3M - Cowardice.
Since when I play it I do nothing more then run-poke-runRunrunRun-poke-run-poke-run-run-ruuun---poke. All day long, never staying long enough to get blown up, ideally.

Or the locust 3S - Rain Herald.
I got it to grind the mastery and I didn't enjoy homing and/or spread damage nature of the missile weaponry, but I wanted it to do something different, so I got a narc. Played a couple of games, most notably after the latest patch where everyone and their mother had a LRM.
It is safe to say that I did not deal a lot of damage those games with my lone medium pulse, but damn, I came, I narc:ed, I left, then silence...
Then the rain came.

Lastly my blackjack - 1, got it in order to have a cheap experience of a heavier class, but what ever I try to do it only does it half way as good as I hoped.
Thus it got the proud name: Petty.

Oh. Mein. Gott. Why did I not think of this before?! *To the Girl Genius archives! To search for the names of other Jagers of course.*

Now if only we were able to put the names in so they showed up in the target info tags as well. Then you could know if you're going after a 'mech of reknown'.
