: The Journeyman and Heron Guard use their initiation date
: as their name. As bungie gave us during the Seven
: Phoenix Rising tournament, there is a strict formula
: for these names. Note: Not all Journeymen and
: Heron Guard names follow this outline, so bungie did
: not make it very strict or did not follow their own
: rules.
Would you mind detailing this formula given? In a much earlier thread I was hypothecising that the Bruig calendar was based on 14-day "months" of astrological constellations and groups of constellations. So, for example, July 3rd would be Three Sleeping Lion, or some such - and if the latter part of June and the former part of July were considered one month, then you would have "Three Crab Sleeping Lion", for the Cancer and Leo constellations. There are exceptions, though, like "Five Motion Bloody Jaguar". The Bloody Jaguar part is fine, but how do you depict "Motion" in a constellation?
I'd be really interested in that formula. I'm surprised nobody mentioned it before.
: The remaining races all have rather simple name basics.

Here's some names from an old Myth fan-fic/humor series I started, just for fun. Their adventures could make for some rather interesting levels, though it might be difficult to do them and get the stories right. I've left out the ones whose names are irrelevant since their races have no names, such as "Number One" the Fetch. Anyway...
Oogabooga (Maul) - Head of the local Maul army.
Crook (Brigand) - Brigands have the most fitting names, don't they?
Bugsquish (Myrmidon) - Last of the Myrmidons.
Patsy (Warrior) - The main character. Horribly clumsy, but the very universe itself is on his side, so he's never really in danger.
Seducer (Ghol) - Don't ask. On second though, please do.
Seven Lima Bean Lemur (Journeyman) - Stoner Jman, hooked on "the root".
Smelli (Dwarf) - An old Dwarf with a gland problem.
ow'Eee (fir'Bolg) - A cursed fir'Bolg, always in pain.
Tweedum of the Frighteningly Large Head Wound,
Deedle with an Oversized Butter Knife (Berserks) - Twin Zerks.
Eleven Purple Polka Dots (Heron Guard) - Elder brother of Lima.
Abracadabra (Warlock) - Warlock in the Deceiver's army during the Myth II era, joined Patsy's adventure.
"Veggi" Vegdrasil (Dwarven Mortar) - Old friend of Smelli's.
Siskel (Bowman) - Son of Ybert.
Backwoods (Forest Giant) - A Backwards Forest Giant.
He Who Makes Mud Pies (Skrael) - Air-headed Skrael.
Ignue Ferroque (Trow) - Yes, that's intentional.
Tic-Tak (bre'Unor) - He who cursed ow'Eee's family.
Scary Bedtime Stories (Mahir) - The thing that goes bump in the night.
