I named my Geth Engineer: Pazuzu.

It's a .1 Percenter (i.e. only 1 in a thousand people would ever get the reference).

The demon possessor in the movie The Exorcist is Legion (named after the biblical passage). Also, same demon in the Exorcist 3, based on the book by William Peter Blatty called "Legion".

For some reason, they went a completely different, non-canonical direction in the Exorcist 2 (oh, and they had James Earl Jones in a wasp outfit. It was supposed to be scary. It was, but not how they intended) and featured a different demon named Pazuzu, but spoke about Pazuzu as though it was the same demon as in the original Exorcist.

All of which is very funny to me, and the other 5 people on the planet who watched the Exorcist 2.

Probably not technically "lore-friendly".

I called one of mine "Zyglrox" after the Periphery song:



I get the feeling that the geth would be right into that intro riff.

It has already been stated that Geth don't have names; they are a collection of (semi)sentient programming codes inhabiting a mobile platform. If you want, try using names with a central theme. Some nerdy suggestions:

AI Overlords: HAL 9000, Skynet, SHODAN
Transformers: Optimus Prime, Arcee, Starscream
Science fiction classics: Foundation, Ender's Game, I Robot
Mars landers: Viking, Curiosity, Beagle 2 (UK lander that didn't make it)
Star Wars droids: HK-47, C-3PO, R2-D2
Prothean VIs: Vigil, Vengeance, Victory
Historical astronomers: Kepler, Galileo, Copernicus

As for mine, they are Robot ******, Butts McGee, and Die Meatbags.

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.

Eeeeeeeeee.... that's pretty hard. Like others have noted, Geth are simply 'Geth'. But you do make a fair point in the naming method Legion used, and how it might be adopted.

Engineer and Infiltrator...

Infiltrator- spy. Instantly, 'Caleb' comes to mind. (It has variations of spellings you could use.) Caleb had some business doing scouting foooooor... I forget, but it involved some bit of land after the Hebrews left Egypt. He was one of the two (of twelve total) spies that didn't screw up his job and reported that the people could take the land. The other ten said they'd never be able to take it. I think it might be fitting for an Infiltrator.

Engineer... that's a little harder. I don't have any ideas that pop up instantly. I'll look it over. > w>

Crystal geth, still the best name I've seen on here.

Avast. OR, switch out your Infiltrator name to the Soldier, and name the Infiltrator SpyBot-SD

Does SpyBot-SD count in the same category as Norton and McAffee? I think so, not too sure on the particulars. = w=

[UKStory135]

Since Legion Called himself Infiltrat0r N7, I have kept the names similar to that. My engineer is named 3ng1n33r N7, My Trooper Burnin8t0r N7, and my GI is officially named Infiltr8t0r N7,, but I usually refer to him as captain Try Hard.

[TheFracturedpope]

Agreed with a lot of posters here, I tend to name my Geth the "Platfrom XXXXX" title.

[Optimus Leo]

Infiltrator: Buffer Overflow
Soldier: Data Stack
Engineer: LeoTron (since I'm an engineer in real life)

[Ice Cold J]

Engineer: Mainframe
Infiltrator: Shunt (get it?)
Soldier: Hardware
