Space Invader names please

edited December 2011 in Development
Hi all,

Feeling creative? If so I could do with some help creating names for a feature in my next game (another platformer) featuring a lot of random generation. More on that later, and credits will be given where due of course.

So I need some names for randomly generated space invaders. The names are 'randomly' selected from two separate list of strings.

Eg list 1 needs to be names like 'XORG', and list2 needs to be names like 'FIGHTER'.

The names can be fun, intimidating or whatever, as long as they're appropriate. I may also have to be a bit selective, as every first word needs to match every second word.

Any suggestion greatly appreciated :-)

    I'm still after more, so if people still have ideas keep 'em coming please. I can have a unlimited number (well up to a point of course) of list1 names, for list2 I need 15 more.

    Jeez! Looks like a random alien names or runes generator!

    Keep 'em coming ;)
  • edited December 2011
    Cheers all.

    Hmm, yep keep 'em coming please, I'll be using (some ;-)) of these. Apart from Stuart that is, the rest are fine but Stuart is just madness.

    EDIT: Best one generated so far (sprite & name & IMHO) is the EUROVIAN CHUFFDANCER.

    Thanks Spud, Rebelstar, Top stuff (I especially like 'womper').

    I'll defo use some of these (some of yours Rebelstar are more like the names I've created for my random imp generator though, so may use them there).

    Please don't use matador. It has a bullfighting connotation which makes me feel deeply ashamed of my country and my culture.

    I was thinking the same thing lol. *lightbulb appears above head, "The Hero's March" from the film "The Last Starfighter" starts playing in head* I now imagine a series of games where the ship is passed down through the generations, called into action whenever danger comes calling, the games forming a story ala the lineage of the R-type craft in R-Type Final (one of my favourite shooters). I would have to relenquish the name "Spec-Spiker" and give it an H.P.Lovecraft-Cthulu-mythology-type freedom from copyright (so long as the name is only used for spacecraft), encouraging other folk to make their own games featuring the ship/name, in turn helping to create a new Spectrum "mascot". *considers new thread*

    You know something? I might actually design a spaceship especially for it. I like designing spaceships. :D

    good point Nathan, but because political correctness is not one of my qualities,.. I suggest:

    No, I find Gitano can be nice... and it sounds very nice =D

    Gipsy sounds great, but it doesnt fit as an alien-lenguage word.. Gitano can.

    Wow what a response! Missed all this while at work.

    Thanks all, I'll cull the best of these, & check out the link. Plenty many in game credits again!

    I can confirm at this stage that Deffonot Stonker and Spec Spiker will be a possible combination.

    Vaginal Flapper, however, will not :D.
