Naming thread - give things names Increase Your PM Length

For easier talking about general locations and units, we need to name them.

Current units that need naming : Minimum the 2 warriors we have, maybe even the workers, if theres enough inspiration and innovation amongst us.

Maybe the units could be named after Egyptian mythology, Seth, Osiris, etc. Or using the current Ankh-Morpork theme. Or after us 1st warrior "Master Zen" and second "rdelnep" etc Speak your minds.

Our capital city and other cities need names, too. Do we stick with the original Egyptian, or do we use some other kind of names ?

Put an end to popups!

Pick names for the cities, at the very least, and we have to name atleaest one of the warriors Grog


Other than that, I don't mind what we do.

Lose 30 kilos (of popups)

Grog still lives, eh Grog it is, then, i like the idea too. Unless someone really hates Grog, the first victim of Persians.

Another warrior still remains to be unnamed, Maybe name him Master Zen

The egyptian gods were not that much
and I don't think it is a good idea to name units with using the names of the gods
We may use names from Discworld or any other interesting and funny name we have seen recently

I suggest our second warrior to be Headdy

Workers - no idea yet

Cities - no specific idea - God names, Discworld or current names seem good to me

Support Apolyton buy from Amazon

Naming stuff eh? well lets see... Um there the silver horde:
Cohen the Barbarian
Truckle the uncivil
Boy Willie
Mad Hamish
Caleb the ripper
and the now dearly departed
Old Vincent but he choked to death on a concubine.....

There was no sound but the hiss of snow in a fire and a number ofpeople thinking fast. 'I think you mean cucumber,'said the bard.
'Thats right cucumber,' said Boy Willie. 'I've never been good at those long words.'
'Very important difference in a salad situation' said Cohen

Also there is the Watch.

for the time being I think the next city should be Genua, i see If can get a BIG list.... So far i can think Of Kom, Lancre town, Bad
Ass , Al Kahali.. the it so far I'm sure thereheaps around...

As for gods well thats not too bad for city names but only the really obscure ones.....

I havent actually read any of the Ankh-Morpork books, i didnt know what that was until reading Beta's question from general dg forum

So, i dont care very much what the names will be. As long as they sound cool Choose something that all agree on, and which are not terribly troubling to write or remember.

I and Krill are in agreement of Grog the warrior, so i'll name one of the warriors Grog You decide the name of the second.

Also more suggestions on city names are welcome. I have no objections on sticking original Egyptian ones, or whatever you guys want.
