I need a name for a Sith Trooper, like in Kotor one of the red ones. Nickname like fox not a number please.

Thanks

My suggestion is to think like a miltary man. Look at the personality traits of this character. Is he cocky? Is he a maverick?
One that I came up with is Tiger but that's simple.

Try some exotic animals :D

How about "Black Mamba", or "Cobra", or "Sidewinder", or "Bill".

<_<
>_>

Since he's a Sith Trooper you need to think of some animals with a ''badass'' reputation, for example: Scorpion, Scarab, Hyena, Chameleon, etc.

Does anyone know about the characteristics of telosian names? I need some family-names, a last name for Jordo, for example, and maybe also some first names.

Well, apart from Carth Onasi, his son Dustil and Lt. Dol Grenn, I don't remember any other Telosian name even being mentioned in the two KoTOR games. I have checked the article on wookieepedia, but haven't found many useful references, here's the link in case you want to check it out anyway: http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Telos)
If I find anything I'll post it here, but for now all I can suggest is to use those three names as references and invent some of your own.
If you still can't think of any names, I will try to think of some for you, but tell me exactly what kinds of names do you need (male, female, how many names, etc.).

Well, the problem is, that I still don't know exactly, how many Names I'll need, except of the last name for Jordo.
But Thank you very much for your help, I will think about the Telosians in my fanfic, so I hope I can be more precise soon..

Christ, someone give me some Republic ship names. Inspiration is dry >.>

What kind of ships do you need names for? Are they capital ships, fighters, transports, or do you need names for all those classes and how many of each do you need?

well, 1 capital ship is all i need at the moment, though a few of all of them would be much apreciated :)

OK, let's see... How about these:

Inheritor
Valiant
Herald of Destiny
Fist of Fury
Light of the Force
Unity One
Blue Star
Burning Sun
Red Rancor

I admit that some of these might be more appropriate for another class of starship and there are some that can be used for multiple classes. Feel free to use any one, or all of them. :)

This is a name from Starship Troopers: The Roger Young.

Also think of famous people or people that were heroes. Ships get named after them like the USS Reagan and the USS Miller

very helpful chaps/chapettes, i appreciate it :)

hi all just incase this might help for thinking of good starwarsy, lord of the ringy names think of any word and spell it backwards and if it it sounds ok usei it!

Example.

Tenner- rennet

Ron- Nor

Sometimes thinking of the words to turn around can be hard to think of but if you can then you can find some interesting and amusing results!

I'm looking for a few new ship anmes- about a dozen or so...

I'm writing a story that has some Grand Admiral guy with an insanely huge SSD and a small fleet of other ships. i already have a few names for the SSD, but i need a huge list of good names for the ships escorting it. these ships are Empire ships- all of them are hybrid, super-advanced ships. i want their naes to sound bold and powerful, and inspire fear upon hearign their names. I want original names- not old ones like "Invincible" "Vengeance" " 'Insert Name's' Fist" "Tyrant"... Completely orignal names that none would normally think of. they can be either English-like or Russian-like names.

Thanks.

This'll be a nice challenge for me. Let's see...

The Volkov
The Chalice of Torment
The Centauri
The Raskolnikov
The Namidyev
The Blackhearth
The Last Cry
The Ferryman
The Vrakinadze
The Advocate
The Damocles
The Prepityev

That's all I can think of so far. If these don't suit you, or you need more, say so and I'll have another go at it. :)

I'll go with one- Tormentor

but i think i want english names instead. i don't even know what half of the ose russian names represetn. lolz. my mistake ina sking for russian names. i just wanted exotic-liek nemas, and the russian language sounded liek it was exotic.

Well, they don't represent anything in particular, I just basically thought of Russian last names and wrote up a few. Raskolnikov, though, is the name of the main character of Dostoevsky's ''Crime and Punishment'' (Which I haven't read). Volkov on the other hand is the name of a Soviet ''hero'' unit in C&C Red Alert Aftermath (He was some kind of experimental supersoldier).

However, if you want exotic, but not Russian, I recommend something that resembles latin - a name of a Greek, or a Roman god, or a latin phrase even. The Inca and Mayan cultures are even more exotic, IMO, but I don't really know much about their names.

Anyway, if you still want me (or anyone else who takes a look at the thread) to try to make up a few names, let me know. :)

Igyman, if you have time, I need a name for a ship, but I'd prefer if it had the name of a precious gem or color and some type of animal in it.

Jaspar Tiger?
Ruby Python?

just a couple ideas for you off the top of my head... :)

A gem/animal combo. Sure, I'll give it a try.

The Serpentine Ruby
The Tiger's eye (this is actually the name of a, well, not so precious but nice looking stone)
The Panther's Pearl
The Spider Topaz
The Crimson Hawk
The Bronze Cobra
The Diamond Drake

and just for laughs...

The Pink Panther! :D

Thanks a million. I wish I had your skill with making good names.

Hey guys, I'm thinking of writing a fic, but its not SW. Its from the book Series called Left Behind. I need a modern last name for a character. Id apperiate it thx.

Assuming you want an English/American last name, I'm gonna offer a few. (Let me know, if you want a foreign last name and which nationality).

Powell
Barnes
Wilson
Gaines
Hurt
Anders
White
Wilcox
Sorenson
Quinn
Green
Williams
Savage

A program that I like to use for coming up with names is Name Mage (http://www.mapmage.com/namemage.htm). It uses rules to generate names instead of picking from a list of pre-determined names. So for example, it'll pick a first syllable from a list of syllables or groups of letters, then pick a middle syllable, and then a third syllable. This way it can come up with names that sound like they fit in a certain fandom without merely picking randomly from a list of names that were already created. And you can even add your own rulesets pretty easily. It's at least worth a look!

This seemed the most appropriate place, so i'll explain why I need help.

I've been designing a Star Wars D20 campaign recently, set just after the Mandalorian Wars (so a few months before Revan returns as the Dark Lord of the Sith), so I need a good villain. The players are mostly Jedi, and all of them served in the war. They were separated from the fleet before it fell to the dark side, so they didn't fall.

The main villain that I have so far is a Sith Lord, one sent by Revan and Malak to begin recruiting troops, and spreading discord throughout the galaxy before they return. There aren't any problems that I can see with having another Darth alongside Revan and Malak, as the rule of two isn't in effect for another 3000 years, but I'm having trouble actually coming up with a decent sounding name.

I've translated a few words into other languages, to come up with one, and the best i've come up with so far is Darth Venin, meaning 'Poison' in Finnish, I think.

But something doesn't seem right with it - It's a good name, but I'm not really feeling anything from it.

Anyone got any ideas or suggestions?

The Sith are uncommonly fond of corrupting perfectly good English words;) Take Sidious for example. Others tend to be pretty straightforward, e.g. Maul and Bane. Another angle seems to be Latin inspired, e.g. Nihilus.

Try digging out some dead languages (Greek? Latin?) and finding words in that. People seem more intimidated by ancient evils, after all:p

Indeed....most Darth titles are based around an evil sounding English or Latin word. Darth Insidious, Darth Invader, Darth Malak (Malak meaning jaw), Darth Maul (Maul is a blunt weapon, seems fitting) to name a few.

Or, if you really can't come up with anything, consider a 'normal' name. There is some dispute about when the first time the title surfaced in the expanded universe, since Revan seems to be the first. And since your setting takes place before he claims/get's the title... :)

EDIT: Swithing some letters in Norse mythology names works for me as well...

If you are looking for a good name, look at other languages as people have said or use conglomerations or bastardized versions of existing words. In my fics the word sangtahut means blood traitor with the root being sang which is Latin for blood. Others have suggested looking at mythology. That works as well since in every culture there is the presence of evil or an evil being but just given a different name. Try Native American folklore as they have interesting names for different things.

Well, i've been playing around with an English - Latin translator, and i've come up with some interesting ones, both by mixing words, and leaving them alone:

Darth Atrum (latin meaning dark)
Darth Proditor (meaning traitor)
Darth Venquis (mixing up the words of he who betrays)
Darth Ranimus (mix of soul stealer)
Darth Decitus (deceiver of worlds)

Or, for some in universe words:

Darth Kote (Mando'a for might)
Darth A'den (Mando'a for Rage or Wrath) or Adenn, meaning merciless
Darth Teroch (Mando'a for pitiless)


I'm really liking all of these, they're more natural, and 'evil' if that makes any sense. In each i've tried to sum up his purpose, the role that Revan has tasked him with.

He's basically the advance guard, who stayed in the Galaxy when the rest of Revans fleet disappeared - tasked with converting Jedi, bringing worlds to their knees, and making it easier for Revan when he does return. He's the main villain in the 'trilogy' I have planned, so his name is paramount.

Thanks for the help and suggestions guys, they've really helped. :)

EDIT: Added some names using Mandalorian words - some of which are really great.

Darth Proditor (meaning traitor)

Um please can I actually take that for my fic? I will turn to dark side in my fic :P

Sure you can! I don't mind people taking or borrowing these names, especially after the trouble that i've had trying to come up with some.

Anyway, I've (almost) settled on a name. I've got it down to three choices:

Darth Venquis, Darth A'den and Darth Teroch

I'm swaying towards Teroch at the moment, and may use A'den for his apprentice.

What would you say about
Darth Groza? It's Polish word for horror/terror and in my opinion fits someone who 'brings worlds to their knees' :)

Maybe Venquis as a vanquisher to kill or help the two Sith?

darth distruzione (italian for destruction)

Darth Ra'mont/Amont/Pra'mon/Par'Mon/Paramont (gah, it sounds too much like Paramount Studios!) (part of para amontonar, which means "to amass", since he recruits for Revan and Malak's forces)

Darth Venquis sounds very fitting for a sith lord :)
You should take that ;)

They're all some really great suggestions, but I finally settled on one of my Mandalorian names - Teroch. I like it because it is very similar in both spelling and saying to 'terror' - which is escatly what a Sith Lord should inspire in his foes.

Thanks for all your help guys, and feel free to pinch any if you like 'em :)

I've translated a few words into other languages, to come up with one, and the best i've come up with so far is Darth Venin, meaning 'Poison' in Finnish, I think.
Actually, Poison in Finnish is "Myrkky". :)

*feels dumb* I totally didn't see that you had chosen the name before I replied xD

But either way I hope you have fun with your evil little Sith man (I'll pretend that didn't sound wrong T.T) and good luck with your campaign! ^^

First I planned on using Darth Audax for my fic, but then i realised that I already had a Sith name. I think I'm going to name my main characters vessel that instead.

hah! funny in my stalled fic i've been trying to write I felt The Iniquity was a much better name for a ship than a Darth.

You can sometimes even take an obscure word used in the English language, and use it - if the meaning is acceptable. For example, a few years ago, long before TSL came around, I had written a villain named Darth Scion (note the spelling difference), meaning heir. It fit the character, and sounded cool. Then TSL came out, and I looked unoriginal. -_-

Latin works really well, especially if their meaning is dark. But, technically, anyword that feels dark or mysterious works. You could also make up just a random word or name. For instance on Latin: example: Darth Nemo. "Nemo" meaning nobody or no man. Or, Darth Teriscar, for a random name. Or , Darth Bob, which is by all means ridiculous unless you're writing a comedy.

Unfortunately, Darth Nemo now just conjures the image of an adorable clownfish wielding a lightsaber :lol:

True, it was a nice thought. Well, that's one Latin word you wouldn't want to use then. :lol:

Ok, so I'm righting a new story, and the main characters name is Clera. How, I need a good name for her master, and after thirty hard minutes of thinking, I got nothing. I cant continue without a name, please help.


The requirements are:

Needs to be a Female.

No weird Twilek type name. (Ayala, Janoon, etc.)

Needs to be peaceful, but still have an, 'authority type' ring to it.



Thanks

I find that this (http://www.behindthename.com/) is an excellent place to get names from.

Sometimes, though, I'll use Google Translate to take a simple English word that suits the character and translate it into either an obscure language or a dead one, such as Latin. For example, in my latest RP, Scion of Darkness, I used the word Teacher and translated it into Latin - giving me Erus. I adapted it a little to make it sounds more like a name, and came out with Erussa.

Well, trying to fit your description, this could be difficult.

hmmmmmmmmm.............

Ahh, I think I might have couple names for an authorative but peaceful female Jedi\Sith Master.
I'm not sure you'll take this one because it might sound Twi-lekki so maybe not this one.

Casra, that is the first name for now. But wether or not it works is up to you.

Or Seva, that's an idea, so far I keep thinking random stuff. Well that's all for now.

Thanks for you help, guys.
