The Big List of Names
I have been coming up with cool sounding names for game objects since I was little. Whether it's a sword, a spear, a battleship, or an imperial city, I am a sucker for really awesome names in video games.
I want to share some of the best of the best I have come up with (or heard) over the years. Any name you think is memorable is fair game, even if it seems ridiculous. Please share yours!
* Farstucker
(originally a Lords of Acid album- now the name of a spear)
* Splin'Tor (cheeky play on words. Name for a small sharp object (dagger))
* Scienter
(means "evil intent" in jurisprudence)
* Pontifex
( cool sounding name for a ship)
* Excelsior
(means, roughly, "wood shavings used in shipping". Cool ship name)
* Imperator
(roman word meaning "commander". A precursor to the word "emperor". Cool ship name)
* Executor
(the flagship of the imperial fleet. you see a theme here...)
* Mens rae
(in jurisprudence, knowing that a particular thing is going to happen. A stealthy weapon)
* Belias Tor
(the name of a mountain pass in Final Fantasy Tactics. I have used endless variations of this very cool sounding name)
* Crypt & Confidential
(you could not possibly guess the deep significance of this phrase, and I do not dare to elaborate)
* Dr. Fist
(don't even ask...)
* Noiragfag
(Gafgarion spelled backwards (FFT) source of endless hilarity)
* Terra _____
(use of "Terra" as a surname for cities (i.e. "Terra Letta", "Terra Bithia")
* kaclys
(hero name)
Good idea, mate, and good list.
