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).


Legion is from the Bible.
Not a Legend bro.

I suppose that would technically make the story a myth - but modern use of the term "myth" has connotations that would possibly offend the touchy used in that context.

I name my Geth after mythological beings that share similar attributes with them. My engineer is Thor as his overload (lightning) is extremely potent. My soldier is Vulcan for similar reasons and my infiltrator is Anubis because...well, a jackal-headed god associated with death seemed appropriate.

I like the thought of biblical/mythical names. I tried giving mine codenames (ex: Engineer looks a little avian to me, so I named him Raptor/R4pt0r/Unit r.4p.t0r), since I couldn't think of anything else that sounded appropriate.

Edit: I've already got another Geth name saved up, too. In case we get a Prime or analogous unit.

Geth. They are all geth. Other way around, since Legion was named because there's a "legion" of programs in him (I know it's from the Bible et cetera, but I want to keep it short), so when I get a geth (they keep eluding me) I'll name them after other similar terms from Roman military - Maniple, Centuria and Cohort.

Lore-wise a geth's name should be whatever its immediate comrades either choose or suggest. My geth engineer was picked up by a human platoon, so its name is Glitch. My geth infiltrator was assigned to an asari unit, and they named it Kurinth (asari goddess of war and hunting, since it's a geth hunter and all). I haven't decided where the soldier fits yet. I'm thinking it's probably with a krogan troop since I keep ending up in krogan lobbies with it, so I imagine the poor thing will probably end up being called Scrap or Bolt Head or something generally less than respectful or affectionate.

When they first came out, I named my engineer Phalanx and the infiltrator Delta. Phalanx fits in with the idea of a defender made up of a lot of individuals that have to work together geth-style

A geth raised in a krogan environment.. hm I like that combo! Maybe the GSo is lorded over by one of the local mechanics and he got his fortification after nearly being run over by one of their tanks. Also explains the affinity to set things on fire w/ flamer.

On a completely different note, I'd like to see a Krogan mechanic as a engineer kit. This game could use a mortar power :P

Because I'm a giant history nerd and because regardless of where Legion's name comes from my first thought jumped to the basic military unit of the Roman Empire, I've used all of the following

Cohort
Centuria
Vex (short for Vexillation)
Legio (a Legion's command staff)
GaiusMarius (the Consul/General who re-organized the Roman military, sometime referred to as the "third founder of Rome)

But now my GI is just "OptimusPrime".

My Gethgineer, Trooper and Gethfiltrator are called Platoon, Armada, and Overwatch respectively.

The first two were based around the scheme that started with Legion. The last one just seemed appropriate for an Infiltrator.
