[CN9 ACE PILOT]

Heh, i tried to be fancy at one point but since they are all the same, it sometimes became a hassle to find which is which also because at the time both my CN9-A(C) and the trial CN9-A(C) would show up on my owned list which was very annoying to see, so decided to keep it simple.

CN9-A(C) = ACN9 - MISSILE

CN9-YLW = ACN9 - CANNON

CN9-AL = ACN9 - LASER

CN9-D = ACN9- BULLET

Ok, I'm going to post a full list of the current named mechs I have...

BLR-1S - Hilda (she's a big girl)
BLR-1G(P) - Light Show
BLR-3M - LightShow II
BLR-3S - Show Girl
HGN-733 - The Beast
ON1-V - Koh (named for the evil spirit "Koh the Face-Stealer" from The Last Airbender series, because this thing owned faces)
CPLT-C1 - Rakshasa (because it's so similar to the Rakshasa)
SHD-2D - Shadowlander (trial Highlander guns shoehorned into a Shadowhawk)
CN9-AL - The Shark (back in 8 vs 8 this sucker was good for circling slow assaults and ripping them apart)
CN9-A(C) - Soul of Cent (because when I got the free Champion I stripped my old A and sold it, rebuilt the Champ with its load out, but still felt kind bad about it)
FS9-K - SpoilSport (I tended to get kills with this mech, but not wins)
KFX-D - Poison Arrow (black and orange polygon cammo makes it look like a Poison Arrow Frog, and, well, LRMs)

[sabujo]

Here are some of mine:

SDR-5K - Rattler
CPTL-K2 - Kaytoo (how original)
COM-2D - Diaper Kid
GRF-1N - Mint (because one of my best cbill-maker mechs)
GRF-3M - Quickbow
RVN-3L - Beaker
CN9-AC - Freehugger (because it was free... and it hugs)
FS9-E - Sparky
KFX-Prime - Swiper (from Dora, the explorer)
SCR-Prime - Longshanks

My only principle regarding names is that I only baptize them when I get the 2x modifier.

[Christof Romulus]

Jeeze... I literally just named my mechs the other night, and then I happen across this thread...

DWF-Prime - Metashi
DWF-A - Lurmashi

Kit Fox: "bycicle mech", does anybody, when in the cockpit, feel as standing in a bycicle?

[Duncan Jr Fischer]

I name my mechs saving their model name, but use the last letter to start a callsign. It helps me not to forget the model too)
CDA-2ARROW
CDA-2BRAWL
CDA-3MIRAGE
CN-9ARES
CN-9DOOM
CN-9OUCH
TBT-5JOCK
TBT-7MERC
QKD-4GOON
QKD-5KILLS (like skills)
ON1-KILL
ON1-VANQUISH

There are exceptions:
KITTY (CPLT-K2) and KILLYA (Muromets)

And there are mechs that I use often, but somehow the idea to rename them have never occured to me. Maybe I'll do it now)

Given the number of censored names I see while playing?

I am kinda glad we cannot!

JR7-F : Jonhy Blade (Black Sabbath)
LCT-1V(P) : Sweet Leaf (Black Sabbath)
SHD-2H(P) : Bird of Prey (Fatboy Slim)
KTO-GB : Queen Bee (Grand Funk Railroad, from the movie HEAVY METAL!)
CN9-YLW : Unforgiven (song : The Unforgiven - Metallica)
HGN-HM : Iron Man (Black Sabbath)
CDA-X5 : Aluminium (The White Stripes)
COM-TDK : Blue Orchid (The White Stripes)
COM-2D : Baby Snake (song : Baby snakes - Frank Zappa)
ON1-P : Supernaut (Black Sabbath)
CTF-IM : Revolver (Rage against the Machine)

AWS-PB : Velvet Green (Jethro Tull)
SDR-5D : Bk Widow (song : The Black Widow - Alice Cooper)
MDD-Prime : Red Rain (The White Stripes)

I use song name on my mech, i think it's less boring that "Dakkajagger" or "Pew Pew mech" or just the name of the loadout =)

I put some colors/pattern in line of the name too : example my COM-2D has the cobra patter and is named "Baby Snake". My MDD-Prime is paint all in red because of the name "Red Rain", etc...
I have some chassis that i'm still searching names/song and colors, like the Warhawk or Direwolf.

If you have never listen some songs, give it a try, it's only some good stuff =P

See you on battlefield, mechwarriors!

BJ-1: Scrapper (stock loadout with upgrades, pulls it's weight way too well)
BJ-3: ******** (because PPCs)

[Chuanhao]

I name all my mechs after future IS mechs. Essentially, I configure current mechs to replicate future 3055 / 3058 mechs and use them to game. Other than playing stock mode, I thought it would be useful to replicate my fav mechs from future lore.

CTF-1X is Cestus
CTF-2X is Hercules
CTF-3D is Vulture C (Twin Gauss)

Thunderbolt is Tempest

AWS-8Q is Black Knight
AWS-8T is Rakshasa
AWS-8R is Naginata
AWS-9M is Shugenja

Warhawk B is Viking (able to fit in 2 x LRM 20 and 2 x LRM 15)
Wahhawk A is Albatross
Direwolf Prime is Devastator
Direwolf A is Annihilator

Pardon the blatant disrespect of naming Clan Mechs after future IS mechs
