I usually pick names (if I decide the mech has earned one) that begin with the variant letter:

Stalker 5M - Melon Lord
Stalker 3N - Narsil
Banshee 3M - Malevolence
Jagermech DD - Deadly Do Right

The heroes, are more descriptive;

Jester - Laserface
Firebrand - Salamander
Arrow - Antagonist
Protector - Sentinel 1

I named my Jager, Kek

I'm boring as hell... But OCD as well.

I name my mechs using the Greek Alpha (Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta etc...) plus the mech designation.

Example = Alpha-RFL

I do this as it allows me to sort my mechs and it's not quite as pedantic as using 1-2-3-4 or A-B-C-D.

I named my mechs based on how I play them.

Examples:

Rifleman 3N - Hyena (I wait like a jerk until the firefight dies down then scavenge the scraps)
Spider Anansi - The Wish (Every time I drop with this mech I make a wish to get at least one kill)
Rifleman 3C - Minuteman (Guerrilla warfare with some fine rifles in hand)
Cataphract 3D - Donkey Kong (I jump, bang my Ultra AC drums, then move to the next part of the level)

I named my mechs because from many references and some silly names :


Battlemaster - Lurmmaster
Named because it's equipped with 10x4 LRM.

Cicada 2A(C) - Orange Juice
Got this Champion Mech from event and also got Orange and sort of Lime Green colors. So I colored from that colors and now it's like Orange Juice box.


These mech are from many references :

Shadow Hawk 5M - Dougram
Mad Dog Prime - Greget
Centurion AH - Red Comet
Black Knight 6 - Gundam
Atlas DDC - Atlas Gundam

Most of mine are bad puns or movie reference.

Like the dragon 1N named Puff

Or the TDK named Megaman.

+1 for Puns and bad references

Jenner - Jennerous
Jaegermech - Jaegerbomb
Cataphract - "Matter of" ('Phract')
etc

CNT-9D Dainsleif. Made by SO's very Master mech Builder JediGargoyle. It has taken on a Timber Wolf and left it's mechwarrior scarred for life from the engagement.

My mech names tend to have a theme. Dainsleif is a norse mythical sword that can't be sheaved till it's drawn blood.
