The "What's a good name for this?" thread

You could use Lumière. It means "light" in French, but more importantly was the name of the inventors of cinema.

Title ideas for the six "books" of the Arc 4 of my Warrior Cats fic?

You can see the general style of Warrior Cats titles there, and my fic's mostly titled Arc 1 can propably also give you an idea of what i'm going for.

Thanks for the suggestions (though I have gone in a different direction) - She has the maiden name 'Shipper' (yep), and married name of Gagneux (from 'to farm or cultivate').

What could be a good short story title about a man trying to resurrect his wife through AI?

Isn't that the plot of the movie "Archive"?

Well, similar, but this one has a more dark vibe to it.

In what way?

The idea was inspired by a mix of the character Michael Van Patrick and Doc Savage (with a dash of the Kurt Russell movie Soldier).

During the early days of the Cold War, a small group of researchers developed a training/dietary program that would amp up a person to “the absolute peak of humanity”.

The problem? The program would take several years for the individual(s) to reach that goal, so the higher-ups said “To hell with it”, and shelved the project.

Skip forward to the early 90s. Some other people find the proposal/plans, and decide to see if it’ll actually work. Training the individuals from a very young age, over the span of 10-12 years, the children indeed became both physically and mentally near-superhuman.

However, the program only gave them the abilities; what further training they went through (military/martial arts/secret agent/whatever), became up to them.

Any recommendations for a name for the project/program?

"Nirvana"

Like, the chase to resurrect his wife to find the answers by any means necessary.

@LoneCourier0: Perhaps "Eidolon"?

@Starbug: What about "Project Paragon"?

Ideas for my titles?

For my modern-day superhero story, is "King Of Crows" a good supervillain name? He's a wannabe world conqueror who has a mostly or completely nonpowered small army whose name contains the word "crow(s)". Also King's from a potential future, but it's only a few years' difference from present.

Also name ideas for said army?

And name ideas for King's "present time" self, who's a small time criminal (mostly burglar) armed with an old revolver and some sort of a flight harness that allows him to glide, and who's a dick? It could/should also involve "crow" somehow.

King Crow sounds snappier and more like something folks would use in conversation.

Why not just call him "Omen" instead?

I mean, a single crow is considered an omen of bad luck after all.

I strive to avoid one-word names because they're less recognizable, less googlable, and more likely already used by Marvel, DC, or both.

Ideas for the group name of King's minions?

I'm not sure how many of them there should be. At least a hundred, they're a sort of a paramilitary. They dress in red possibly, and could have "crow" in the name too.

Crimsom Crows?

"The Murders"? (a group of crows is called a murder)

What's a good name for a secret military base located between the suns of a binary star system?

Gemini for starters.

"Inbetween"

x3 Dyson?

Villain name ideas for abovementioned King Crow's abovementioned present-day self?^note  (ie, the one that has more screentime and is actually from the superhero's time/universe)

He's a small time criminal (mostly burglar) armed with an old revolver and some sort of a wing harness that allows him to glide, and wears grey and black clothes with some sort of a partially-dark purple mask. He also doesn't give many shits and a dick with an Inferiority Superiority Complex, but not to King Crow's "a would-be fascist dictator" extent. He may be on track to become King Crow, or on track to become something else than King Crow. His villain name could/should also involve "crow" somehow to keep with the theme.

Trigger Crow?
