Name ideas for a minor character who's Welsh nationalist super, who uses the Welsh wyvern as a motif and speaks of independence from Britain?note
She is not a straight-up terrorist or anything, though. It's mostly just fight-picking, public condemnation of things, one-person protesting, beating up criminals, insulting the government to it's face, etc.
The obvious thing would be a reference to the wyvern, but i can't come up with anything interesting about it. It'd propably also make sense for it to be in welsh (if not Translation Convention), but i don't speak any.
~*bleh*~
The "Welsh Rooster" (Look at a rooster and look at a wyvern. The only difference, is that the latter have no feathers.)
And what powers he got, no clue.
But then again, the moniker doesn't have to do with anything about the powers.
In fact, it might be a neat trick of misdirection to keep said powers unknown to the enemy.
Or "Ceiliog" for short.

Well, a lot of Welsh nationalists like Saint David's Cross (yellow on black) as well as Y Ddraig Goch. (Notably, not a wyvern except in the archaic sense, as it's four legged and two winged.)
Also, seeing as she's a Plaid Cymru-voting (except when there's an even more pro-independence option) presumably north-western Wales person, she'd probably theme some part of herself around Owain Glyndŵr. She might portray herself as Owain returned to free Wales. (Owain had a wyvern in the modern sense as his crest, but it was gold, not red.)
So obviously, Y Ddraig Goch (The Red Dragon, the one on the flag) is a clear choice. But also something like Dychwelyd Glyndŵr (The Return of Glyndŵr), or Y Ddraig Aur (The Gold Dragon, for Glyndŵr's crest) could work. Alternately, if she's a particularly religious nationalist, she might reference Saint David, though I can't think of a good way to do that.
What would be a derogatory name for a teddy bear wearing sailor uniform?
Context: The main character is a naval cadet who also played in US Naval Academy's football team. In a Army-Navy Game, he leads Navy team to a victory and becomes a MVP. Then he uses teddy bears as a part of victory ceremony (basically, Navy teddy bear blows up Army teddy bear with a miniature cannon), which really pisses off the army cadets.
And from the next year and on, teddy bear wearing navy uniform becomes a punching bag within the US Military Academy, like being used for target practices and such. So naturally, they should've given it a really derogatory, mean-spirited name for it.
The one I got so far is literally just "Navy Bear" but that doesn't quite do the wonder.
Continuously reading, studying, and (hopefully) growing.Trying to come up with a name for “living curse”. As in, a curse is placed on a person or location, then that curse becomes a thinking entity bent on the undoing of the person or place (and frequently everyone nearby as well).
You say I am loved, when I don’t feel a thing. You say I am strong, when I think I am weak. You say I am held, when I am falling short.
Are you looking for a name for the type of curse, or for an individual curse-entity?
[edit] For the former, perhaps something involving the word "nemesis"? After all, the original holder of that name was a deity of retribution, I believe.

Hmm... What sort of setting is this applied to?
As a few suggestions:
A dramatic fantasy work might use "the days of X"—e.g. "Those were the days of Kalakorn the Conquerer; black days, full of suffering."
A sci-fi work might use "epoch"—e.g. "It was the epoch of the Star Empire, when any person could have their wants—as long as they could pay, could stomach, the price."
Indeed, "epoch" might work for a particularly far-reaching non-sci-fi work, too—e.g. "That battle won the war. Everything was different then, everything was new. A new epoch: the Epoch of the Armistice."

So, are you looking for some word, X, that would fit in such phrases as "X of Eirinitheon"? Do I have that correct?
If so, then, given that "Age" is out, perhaps "Era"? Or even just "Time"—"It was the Time of Eirinitheon"?
If none of those, could you give an impression of the sort of feeling that you're going for in this word?

Mate, America is both of those things, and with a lot more nuance. You're just describing another Eagleland stereotype. Make your character what you want, but it's best to avoid just saying the entire country is that much of a trash fire. ROCEJ and all that, mmkay?
Anyway, try something like Flag Lad, Uncle Sam, 'Murica Man, etc.
Hmmm...'Fraid I can't help with this one.

I'd go for "Patriot" myself, as that is a term co-oped by nationalists and the far right in American contexts IMO. It also has the bonus of the character implicitly committing the No True Scotsman fallacy.
Ditto, at the very least you [Adept] would have to explain what the individual atoms are.

Maybe something like Carbodine? Since everything but Carbon ends in _ine. And I'm not very creative.

I think this might help
. But to start how about something like Flurobrominecarbon Diodine?

Perhaps something like "<X> Manifestation", where "<X>" is something like "Flesh", "Anatomic", "Biological", "Organic", etc.?
