So, if you check the happy thread, you'll notice me mentioning a new katana. It's so awesome, I can't even describe it....but it needs a name....I'll get a Picture

..http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B00068LQ9K.01-A20YUEE2UGU92X._SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg

....So, I need to name it, but I need the perfect name. It's the Bill's "Demon Deluxe" from Kill Bill 2, but I don't know if I could go about calling it the "Demon Deluxe" all the time. So, just post some good sword names. I'll except any language....Except if you make up a language....well...if it sounds cool enough I'll allow it. I don't care if you take a name from something else, either. Just good sword names. Help me out.

So we are posting suggestive names. .

Right? ;

Olaf the warrior
Klaus the third

That is the right idea right?

Yup, he wants names but not names of people. He wants possible names for his new sword. :ok:

TRP:
How about

ansatsusha-> assasin

taken from Common Japanese Phrases

any language? :D

See if you hear something you like:
Kamatayan, Mamamatay, Aswang, Kadiliman, Kontrabida, Saksakan ng Sarap, Boy Laslas, Pantuli, Aputol Atite, Manunubos, Sampaguita, Itim na Kaluluwa, Mandirigma, Magnanakaw sa Gabi, Mana ng Dugo, Panduguan, Malakas, Masamang Balita, Hinde Natutulog, Juan Tamad, Pirata Juan (Jack the Ripper), Erap, Erapsyon, Perlas ng Silanganan, Alab ng Puso, Manlulupig, Dagat, Bundok, Simoy, Langit, Dilag ng Awit, Paglayang Minamahal, Ligaya, Mang-aapi, Panaginip

ask for translations for just the ones you like. :p

Here's some more, not in my native language anymore, but Japanese: Ki-rin, Oni

or my personal favorite: "Trample, Rampage: 2" hehehe

If you're looking for a nice Katana name, I'd suggest you go look up the Sword names in the Way of the Samurai games.

Anyway, here are my suggestions (don't know what they mean, though. Just found them in the games and on the web).

Hamanotsurugi
Zannkimaru
Yaiba :laugh:
Zangetsu

(will edit once I think up of more names)

Lol! :laugh:

Especially the first four :rofl:

TRP-

Swordnames?

I would suggest Kangas Troc Cer, but that's already my (imaginary :buck: ) sword's name.

So heres are some I suggest.

Nibu Ger Nag Tagil
Kou Ger Nag Argo
Himores Seda
Kreato Neros
Seda Kraes Morfori Omre - :laugh

If one of those catches your fancy, tell me. I'll give the translation. :buck:

Kitsune Oroshi?
Yamikirimaru?
Hyakkuningen Oroshi?
Kurohana?

Just my suggestion...

Sheesh, seems like everyone on earth knows filipino except me (Looks at most people's location)....Oh. I'm in the minority here....Hmmm...

Hmmm....Let's see.....So far I like:

Malakas
Jack the Ripper (I think in Japanese it'd be radder, though)
...Actually a translation for most of these would be good....although, Malakas is sounding rad regardless of what it means (Unless it means like "Paper Plate" or something...actually, that'd be pretty rad too...Imagine an anime with a legendary samurai with a sword called the "paper plate")

Hmm....Ansatusha sounds pretty sweet, too. I may, however, be more inclined to japanese words, as opposed to filipino words. Japanese has more of a sexier flow, no? Anywho, these are comin' up good, please, keep 'em coming. I'll make a break through soon...

The Headhunter perhaps?
The Wind Divider?

"malakas" is Filipino for "strong".

Kuni, some of those names sound like something a drunk Pinoy would think up. :rofl:

some sword names stolen from l5r:
Passion
Ambition / Yasshin
Revenge
Judgement
Bloodsword (bloodswords are t3h win!)

Bitter
Honorable

Yuriganai
Megumi
Churetsu

Chukandomo

Blade of Truths
Blade of Secrets
Blade of Slaughter

hehe. I do admit I stuck in some comedy names there and was hoping you'd pick one of them. Malakas... sadly is not one of them, it is, however, a good name. It's an adjective that is used for a great many reasons, but all of them of mean high intensity. It could be used as the following adjectives: strong, powerful, tough/hardy, mighty, boisterous/violent/wild, rugged/sturdy, potent, hearty, sturdy/stalwart, severe/sharp, loud, heavy, and lastly influential. whew. sorry, that was my Filipino-English dictionary talking. :lol:

Kapangyarihan - Power; Kamatayan - Death; Mamamatay - Killer; Aswang - Demon / Monster; Kadiliman - Darkness; Kontrabida - Villain; Manunubos - Bounty Hunter; Mandirigma - Warrior; Masamang Balita - Bad News; Perlas ng Silanganan - Pearl of the Orient; Manlulupig - Conqueror; Ligaya - Joy; Mang-aapi - Violator / Oppressor; Panaginip - Dream

oh wait. you don't like brutish sounding names? :sweatface: I don't know Japanese. :p but Ansatsusha is Japanese according to Lardy.

Translation: "The Circumciser" :laugh:

Hmmm...Jap sword names...Hmmm...Have your pick on some of these few sword names I remember from Soul of The Samurai:

Raimei, Denta, Muramasa, Masamune,...

Alright...here's some names I'm leaning towards...

Shimanagashi: Banishment/Exile
Makura/Makkura: Darkness
Makurayami: Total Darkness
Mumyou: Ignorance (Sounds rad in this sense)
Tokoyami: Ever-lasting darkness (Hey, it's a black sword)
Bachi: (Divine) Punishment
Kamiwaza: Divine work
Kougoushii: Sublime
Meibatsu: Retribution
Otsuge: Oracle
Oukenshinjusetsu: Theory of the divine right of kings (Okay, that one may be too long)
Shinryo: Divine will
Kyuukyou: Ultimate, final
Massatsu: Denial, Obliteration


I'll think of some more, but these are all sweet. Shimanagashi has a nice ring to it. Mumyou is sweet here, too.

Some names coming up:

Omen.

Wind of Justice.

Moron Hunter Yuki :buck:

Moonshine.

Soul of DC (your sword, your soul, ne?)

Sword of cutting sandwiches in half +1

Nightmarish Shine.

Or you could call it "katana" just like Dr Evil would :sweatface:

Here's some fresh names I thought of:

Kill Dill 2
rangarash
Yuki-the warrior
Ya-throth-the hilar
Devil from hell
Light-yuki

. . .

my 2 cents...
kuro yume.../ kuro yume eternal

+2 Katana of Slashing? :sweatface:

I have a feeling that if I had a katana (or any weapon, for that matter), it'd get a really stupid name. something along the lines of Cuddly-kins or Snooky Wookums. or maybe a name that's just plain weird to give to a weapon, like Bob.

Oni Kiri?
Kamizoroe?
Kuro Musume?
Yami No Kiba?

Or...Onigiri?

Uh, just in case you get into trouble and decide to eliminate every descendant of your enemy, and plan to use that katana to cleave the neck of the last descendant, here's a good name for it : YUGIRI ^^

Name it Voldee! :devil:

Oh, fine. How about Orochi? Or Kitsune?

Aww, the heck, why don't you name it with those name in games? Yasutsuna? or Oritsuru?...Maybe the last one sounds a bit wierd (paper bird?)

'Sword of Mine'

'Apocalypse'

'Ragnarok'

'Your Name' (no not 'your name' as in your name, but as in the phrase, 'your name'. Think about it. "My sword has Your Name on it!")

'Big Knife'

'Vegetable's Bane'

'Real Sharp'

:smile:

How about Mugenjin (Infinity Blade)?

"Yami No Megami" (Dark goddess)? That sound cool.

do this only if you want a gay sword. :peace:

Dunno any kickass names in other languages, and Larghaz can't think of any good ones in Filipino (Kuni already got them good one's :sweatface:). So stickin with good ole English.

Lingering Sorrow
Bloodless Lust
Flaming Snow
Broken Permanence
Aging Youth
Divine Taboo
Broken Sanity
Howling Illusion
Decending Wrath
Tearful Judgement
Severed Ties

How about these:

Demon Calling Sword
Hellbreaker
Black Sabbath
Sword Of Agony

'The Demoncaller' :buck:

'VaRe' So you will be the VaRe Master :buck:

'Eversharp'

'+7 Demoncaller's Very Strong Katana'

'Clothes Ripper'

'Resonance'

'Diffusal Blade'

'Blade of Alacrity'

'Battle Fury'

'Temptation'

'Wisdom'

'Gamble'

'Demon's Wrath'

Now I know!!

Stealthy Pantystealer!!

Circumsister (Short from Curcumcised)
Yela yela bu jor
Kwistan (Pronounce the K)
Renounced Killer
Roshii Wishii du
Colodus (Changed from Colosus, ride at thorpe park)

. . .

"Slashnhack"
" +6 Katana Nameless Katana"
"Namae No Nai"

Here's a German name...

Einer Schlampen (You wouldn't want to know what that means...)

Or Brookenhymin (Umlaut the oo's in the word.).

Altof schwenzter
Klaugh Woshii namo ru
Jamou Lille ush
SäÎn
FÚc

RushiÎ

The "This-will-hurt-when-I-hit-you" sword.

"Katana
+1000 ATK
+30 % ATK/DEF
+30 % ATK/DEF
+30 % ATK/DEF
+Fire/Water/Wind/Earth Immune
+3 hit attack"

Hmm...I'm leaning towards Dark Goddess, now. Also, Falling Snow (Fits the current weather here. Slightly based off "Flaming Snow") and the ever popular Yoshitsuna from Disgaea.

From your avatar, I thought of...

The Bunny. Doesn't sound too intimidating? You didn't let me finish.

The Bunny Slicer. :buck:

Or gear towards the words that isn't much often used.

Twilight Blade.

Moon Gift.

Heavenforge.

Critical Strike.

True Edge.

Kenjinsakura. LOL. That (Kenjinsakura) is a friend of mine. :laugh:

Rabbit Risotto Slicer!

Thank you everyone for your ideas. They were all very good, but at long last, I've named it "Shimanagashi". Sure, I suggested it, but I wouldn't have been able to do it without all you lovely Ober's out there. Second place was Malakas, if anyone's interested.

What? No "Aputol Atite" or "Brookinhymin"? :rofl:

Regardless, nice name, DC.

I personally would have gone with "Mean Nasty Hacky Hacky Thingie"

Why do names for things have to be cool. Just once I'd like to see some comic/movie/cartoon/game with some guy with a really cool weapon and he ends up giving it a really lame name.

I have a similar mindset. that's why my last Diablo 2 character (a Barbarian) was named Snookums. :buck:

This may be a little late in the day, but if you STILL have that sword and STILL need to name it, I noticed that someone else mentioned Zannkimaru WAY earlier. This is a pretty fitting name, as not only is it catchy, but it is fairly relevant (if not wholly original), as it belongs to the usual main bad guy in "Way of the Samurai 2" (an awesome open ended video game originally conceived by Spike), who ran the Aoto Gang ( or Yakuza). Obviously somewhat of a parallel comparison to Bill from Kill Bill, as he leads the "Squad". The name is an even better fit than the similarities as it roughly translates to "Demon Killer", which fits with the ingraved figure above the Tsuba (on the blade), and on the Saya (sheath/scabbard), plus it is only a mild variant of the English name ("Demon Deluxe"), but FAR more preferable-at least in my opinion. Hope that helps (if you by chance still need it). If not, hope you liked the info.
