My bot one has R2-DBAG and C3-PEW-PEW sofar.. but that's all I have yet.. 

 

There are some really nice ones posted here though.. Might nick one or two.. 😁

Had a Bots/Time and just picked random Russian names for all my bots.  Like Igor, Dimitri, Ivan, Leonid.  Crush my Russian bots?  I'll just make more.

My Bots/Dark, Brigadyr, who was a 'failed' Soviet project to develop a robotic director for combat robots (he developed sapience and began "interpreting" his orders for better efficiency in achieving the goal -- I have six pages of backstory for him hung up on my not being able to write a fight scene for shit) named his battle drones after WWII Russian generals, the protector bots after marshals, and the assault bot is Vasily Zaitsev.

My Beast/Kin is named Ricky Bobby and has Cal Naughton, Karen, Death Machine, POTUS, Baxter, and Judgement.

And, showing my age (and the general area where I live), I just had a brief urge to create a Beast/X MM, name him Cal Worthington, and name the tier-3 pet 'Spot'.

I'm not at home so I can't get them all listed out, but my Beast/FF MM is named Capt Sam's Space Zoo and all the beasts have some solar system-based name like "Venusian Lion", "Martian Wolf," "Saturnian Lion", etc. 

 

I won a golden title in a dev-run costume contest with him, and think the names are what sold it.

Tim "Black Scorpion" Sweeney: Matt (Posi) used to say that players would find the shortest path to the rewards even if it was a completely terrible play experience that would push them away from the game...

I generally dont name my pets, not creative enough, but I have two exceptions.

 

My Thugs/Sonic who's theme is that she's a member of a traveling punk rock band and the thugs are her bandmates while she's on vocals with her Sonic powers.  Punks: The Groupie and The Roadie.  Arsonist: The SFX Guy.  Enforcers: The Guitarist and The Bassist.  Bruiser: The Drummer.

 

My old Mercs MM back on live didn't have a set theme, so all of his soldiers were the Cheat Commandos.  Soldiers: Fightgar and Gunhaver.  Medic: Silent Rip.  Spec Ops: Firebert and Ripberger.  Commando: Reinforcements.  I desperately wanted to rename the guy to Crack Stuntman, but the name was taken every time I tried.

I really love naming pets, and having a whole character concept just click by coming up with a naming scheme. As in my post above, I try to name them such that they can be addressed by petcom_name macros for tier groups also.

 

To add to the characters above, I've just built a new mercs/sonic with a Men in Black/X-Files/XCOM alien conspiracy theme (you do seem to have access to endless black helicopters...)

 

Majestic 12

Soldiers: Agent Black, Agent White, Agent Grey

Spec Ops: Codename SERAPH, Codename SHADER

Commando: Operative X

 

The F10 is "We were never here."

My Robots are named after poets. It was good enough for the main antagonist in A Miracle of Science (excellent web comic) so it's good enough for me. Chaucer, Dryden, Coleridge, Byron, Tennyson, and Spencer.

 

I like to think my victims have a moment as they die to appreciate the sheer mechanical poetry of their clanking feet and whining capacitors as they unleash a torrent of high-energy death. My robots are no mere cannon fodder, each is an individual piece of advanced technological art, and I name them as such.

Ananka's "dead guys" all have pretty common Egyptian names. Her lich is, of course, Karis. (Yes. My affection for old Hammer Studios horror movies is showing here. They were absolutely named after THAT Karis and Ananka. 😄 ) 

 

Amtes' demons are named after Sumerian constellations.

 

Previous Masterminds had minions named after Jane Austin characters (The Unquiet Bride had Wickham, Darcy, Brandon and company... Zombies, of course) and the cast of an obscure anime/manga/game series (Hanano's ninja were all named after the Guardians from Harukanaru Toki no Naka de. Her oni was Akuram)
