Power armored hero naming help

[Archived Post]

Because my name made everyone think of the famous transformer, I have decided to create the same character. But with a different title. But I cannot think of one. He is a power armored hero. Something as silver-ageish as possible. Just please no one reccomend Iron Man. Any assistance would be appreciated.

Without knowing what he looks like or a little background information its tough to come up with a unique name. Bronze Battler, Steel Suiter, Iron Irradiator, Titanium Tornado, Mechman 42. Even if your not a roleplayer it helps to think of a name by thinking where they got their powers or technology from. A stolen suit from VIPER would be named something like Steel Serpent, etc.

Alternatively, you could use some sort of theme, something with personal significance, something in their origin, something related to what they do or what their goal is, etc. Another option is simply to generate a name that is more symbolic than anything else.

The Great And Powerful Turtle for instance from the Wildcard universe was named Turtle mostly because his armor was a modified VW bug ie it looked like a turtle. Which really had very little to do with the fact that he was the most powerful telekinetic on the planet.

You can also google for Lee's (Useless) Superhero Generator to come up with some brainstorm juice.

Nevermind I thought of a name finnally.:D How do you guys like Argent Dawn{changed background story so that it was a stolen suit from ARGENT}

Small problem with Argent Dawn: http://www.wowwiki.com/Argent_Dawn

Might make people think you are making a reference to that.

But "Argent Something" could work... Argent Shell, Argent Chrome, Argent Storm.

O.o Okay Now I'm lost. Here's the background info:Born into a pair of affluent engineers, Seth Kalapp pursued his love for parents work at a very young age. On his 18th birthday, he discovered that his parents had been building a suit for an ARGENT assassin. They had been making weaponry for them by force since before he was born. They gave that suit to Seth and were assassinated because of it. Seth now goes by the title of {name}.

ar·gent (ärjnt)
n.
1. Heraldry The metal silver, represented by the color white.
2. Archaic Silver or something resembling it.

Silver Dawn would work if that sounds good to you. Or something like Argent Sun, or Argent Dusk maybe.

The rules about copyrights can be annoying, Argent Dawn most likely wouldnt violate them since its in a different context but Cryptic has to error on the side of caution if a name is reported by players.

I think I'llgo with Agrent Dusk. Since it kind of resembles the end of the assassin that Seth wants. Thanks to everyone who suggested.
