Stampy, good name for a several-ton 'mech

[Brian Banzai]

I usually called my Archer "Dynamite Lady"

[Erwiin]

I shall call him (it) Squishy...


Or just to make Paul Inouye's day, "My Little Pony"

[Jumbo Machine]

As usual i can't come with a good name until a already chose a crappy name

[UrLeftKnut]

Well, definitely gonna name my Longbow "The Flaming", if I can get an Orion it'll be "The Returning".
My Catapult? "Potato"

[Storm McIntyre]

Probably going to name my Commando "Weatherman". Any other Mech I pilot, I'll have to come up with on a case by case basis.

In other words, yeah, I can't think that far ahead. Bad brain day for yours truly.

[Knusern]

My Atlas; "Møkkurkalv" after a jotun

Freyja.

For those not in the know, back in the very early days, Freyja wasn't just a goddess of love and fertility, but also war. Half of the brave souls collected from battle go to her hall, Sessrúmnir.

What would be better than to name your mech after the beautiful goddess of war, love, and fertility?

I can't name my mech that, though... I already have an adorable dragon-slaying cat named Freyja. The confusion would be too great.

There are more gods and goddesses in Norse mythology.

^^^This.

I shall name one of my mech's AppleJack >:]

[Bullwerk]

My primary mech, make yet to be decided, will be named Faith.

[ZOU]

I have a name, but not saying, just wondered if we could register a name for our mechs so no one else can use it, now I would pay for that But better if the first name was free .

[Groundstain]

I'm thinkin on naming it Target or something like that.

[sheradin]

maybe mouse-hunter

[LctRoyFokker]

Had a Mechwarror 4 Diashi named Gojira because of the firepower I put in it. It had enough fire power to take out Any Battlemech with 2 CT hits. I really dought I will be able to build him in the new Mechwarrior, but it dosent mean Im not going to try.

I'm leaning to three of the Valkyries; Róta, Gunnr, and Skuld as they are the three that ride out to choose who is to be slain and govern the killings. I find this very fitting for my light mechs in a recon lance already named the Valhalla Express as we go out to narc the enemy and choose who our team takes out.
Sága is also a good recon mech name as the name is related to seeing or a seer or also to tell.
For mediums through assaults I only have a couple of names so far. Rán who used a net to try to capture men who go out to sea and drag them down would be fitting for say a catapult with its nets of lrms. Urðr and Verðandi who along with Skuld make up the three fates would work well for my med-assaults. Hildisvíni, Freyja's boar that she rides also known as battle swine is fitting as the name of my brawler mech as a member of the 3rd Battalion of the Shield Wall, the Swine Army.

[Hyperion Adama]

Mech names based on what i'd like to pilot

Ryouken: Bayonetta.

Cougar: Wallace

Timberwolf: Firestorm

Atlas: Starstorm

[WTChance]

Going to go with 'Irma'. Named after a cream '69 Dodge Corrnet I had. I spent years and more knuckle flesh then I care to recall rebuilding her. It was love. If you don't love your ride, she might fail ya.

A slight tangent, but Völuspá names 6 valkyries, Grímnismál names another 11. Elsewhere, "three times 9" are mentioned, but not named.

On another tangent, if the game had supported a public voice-chat function, I'd engage the enemy in flyting.

Tangent over, time to return to your regular schedule.

Actually, Skuld isn't a Valkyries, but one of the "Three Fates", also she never left Asgard, When Rota rode out "With Gunnr and Skuld" she was actually carrying a portion of their consciousnesses
