So we all know that Legion is named after a group of demons that inhabited a single body (before being exorcised) in the Bible.  I like to give all of my characters lore-friendly names because I actually derive sustenance from concentrated nerd energy.  And so I decided to name my Geth characters after fitting Biblical figures, but the only Geth that I've unlocked thus far is the Trooper.  I named it Uriel, the mythological (ie: there's some debate over the canonicity of the name) angel who was tasked with defending the Garden of Eden with a flaming sword after the fall of man.  So like, flaming sword = Flamer.

Can any of you guys think of good names for the Engineer and Infiltrator or another name for the Trooper in this same vein?

Please note that I am in NO WAY SHAPE OR FORM TRYING TO START ANY KIND OF RELIGIOUS DISCUSSION OR DEBATE.  I'm just trying to get ideas for what to name these guys after I eventually unlock them.

Edit: I see a lot of people saying that "lore-friendly" means that they have no names, or their names are just strings of numbers.  That makes sense, but what I mean is that the Geth combatants that we control would be spending a lot of time around their new organic comrades, so I'd think a lot of them would either be named by those around them or take new names for themselves so that they'd be easy to address and remember.  After all (SPOILER), if Shepard makes all the right choices on Rannoch, each Geth program becomes a true intelligence.  And the Prime unit that Shepard talks to afterward says that Legion would be remembered, so I thought that Geth might take similar names afterward.  Or something.

There really aren't any "lore-friendly" Geth names. Geth don't have names.

If you're looking for Biblical names to follow in the suit of Legion, I really can't help there, sorry.

[HinDae]

Its fitting, but I couldn't help with names with deep meaning, I don't even name my characters.

Legion was a one off. It only had a name because it was given to it. I just designate the platform.
Platform E-001
Platform H-001
E for engineering platform, H for hunter platform. Use whatever number you like.
I'm thinking of adding a letter at the end to indicate production run.
e.g
Platform E-001a

Mythological names tend to be interesting.
Norse mythology has got some good'uns

Anything makes sense. Literally anything.
I mean, to name krogan, you burp, but geth are named for the sake of organics.

I named my Geth Trooper Prometheus. Prometheus took the fire from the gods and gave it to the humans well in my case he took the fire from his Omni Tool and gave it to the Reapers.

There technically aren't any lore-friendly Geth names; but Legion is named after a character from human legend when he's around organics. Thus, I've taken the liberty of naming my Geth after gods. I think my Geth Engineer Morpheus (Greek God of Sleep), my Geth Infiltrator Erebus (Greek Primordial of Darkness) and my Geth Soldier Tartarus (Deepest Plane of the Greek Underworld; Hell).

In-game, the Geth combatants we control probably end up spending a lot of time around their organic comrades.  I imagined that most of them could take names (not just strings of numbers) so that people would have an easier time remembering them.

Ah, you wanted a name that its organic squadmates would call it.
Blinky would be a good pet-name. Like I said, Norse mythology will have some good'uns.
e.g Surtr/Surtur - king of the fire Giants. He plays a major role in Ragnarok and the fires he bring will engulf the Earth. Essentially death by fire ;P
