I have a lot of Fire Emblem references on my roster, including Harken which is always the name I use for my Paladin characters(he is my N7 Paladin).

I also have other random references like Rogar, Ambrose, Glorion, Carrow, or Worgendorf.

and my Volus Vanguard is called Bowlus.

I'm a bit of an odd fella, I will actually take the time to name my characters something fitting.

Quarians all have names like Taer'Reora, Cora'Vaun, and etc etc..

Humans all have human names except for two of them which is my N7 Shadow named Sevven and Slayer named Kyzr. Had a bit of a problem of thinking up creative names for them, will need to revisit them lol.

My turians all vary a bit but my Turian Sentinel is Torrin, Turian Soldier is Orllanus, right now I cannot recall my Havoc and Ghost at the moment.

My Krogan tend to have very simple names but my Krogan soldier whose my absolute favorite takes the cake. I couldn't figure out a name for him to save my life so I took off the "gan" part to give him the name Kro. Oddly enough this simplistic name has been well liked by a few of my friends haha

I rarely play my Geth but they all got names like 00010010101110 or 10011011011 and etc etc, no "Legion" names basically.

I cannot list all the character names off the top of my head without being on xbox live, so to do a full list I will need to type them down when I got my xbox going.

Since only I see the character names, I try to be clever with humorous names. I named my Krogan Sentinel, "Trogdor," and my Drell Vanguard, "Chupacabre," for example. And of course, my N7 Slayer is named, "Phil." That's a name I could imagine Harbinger being too frightened to say.

I named my vorcha sentinel trogdor. Of course there's an impossibly complex and riveting story behind my reasoning there.

I've named all my characters after all the girlfriends I've had in my life.

So far, they are all named "Still Waiting"

Some I give fitting names, some I give titles.

Others like the sabotuer, I've namedPhillis, because Phillis is a glorious name.

RVB characters and stupid crap.

My MQI is called pants.

(PS since BW is watching this, for the love of god make character names do something. Having customization nobody can admire hurts me.)

I tend to give them whatever name I find funniest at the time. Often I try for either references to favorite characters from other franchises, or goofy pun names (like Jimmy Russel, my N7 Destroyer).

Some characters are named after ME characters. Turian Soldier is Nihlus, Quarian Marksman is Kal Reegar and Salarian Infiltrator is Kirrahe. But usually i try to come up with names that sound lore-friendly. The new Turians have names like Marius or Tiberius, for example.

Oh and all my Krogan are named MRAAAWR. No exceptions.

There is a distinct lack of Ross in this post.

I try to give my characters names that seem fitting for their species as well as having a bit of variety. So Krogan get a clan name first, but they're also given names which are sound effects I've read in comic books, like Urdnot Krunk (soldier) or Jorgal Fzzamm (vanguard).

Quarians get names like Jann'Tonn (female engineer) or Dor'Gil (male infiltrator) but I ran out of ideas so my male engineer is called Tik'Tok. His omni-tool works like clockwork though.

Turians obviously have roman sounding names, lots of us and ius at the end of names.

My Vorcha are named Kark Dugglaz and Chukk.

My volus are named after pool ball names (8 ball, 9 ball etc.) I try to use inspiration from earth mythology: my asari huntress is called artemis, the greek goddess of the hunt and so forth. My geth are named after computer parts (PSU, Boot, CRC). Shenanigans for the most part.

I make references to archetypes.
All my turian armiger are named after things related to flying (Sky, Jet, Hawk)
My geth are named to synonyms of Legion (Horde, Swarm, etc.)
Quarians to fleet names, Vorcha to wild names, Volus to fictional characters that are round.
And i make some references to Glorious Shotgun Princess.

My character have the sort of name I could see them having in the ME universe. Some of them have the same familly name as character from the story because I imagine they are related.

I pay special attention to avoid giving all my humans american names, so I have a Zhao female Adept, a Yuki N7 Shadow, a Karim male Sentinel, a Jacques male Engineer, a Katrina female Infiltrator, etc ... The alliance would recruit from all over the world.

Occasionally I give them nickname that I could imagine a soldier getting, like BoomBoom.

Armoured Turians and volus are named after Greek and Norse Gods cause I think its funny. I hate batarians in SP but love them in MP so they have names like butt taco. Named my HS Zaeed in tribute to Robin, and I have a Pink and Purple Kroguard named Smoochie cause someone said he looked like a giant purple dinosaur and I hate Barney. Oh and my geth are named after the IG series of droids from Star Wars, so IG88 IG 89 And IG90. My combat drones are Bob and ny Turrets are Timmy.
