Redglare: Tiamat (Dragon from Mesopotamian (?) mythology) Ashtad (Justice in Persian)

Redglare: Tiamat (Dragon from Mesopotamian (?) mythology) Ashtad (Justice in Persian)

Ooh, I really like the name Tiamat! Except she was a chaos water monster as well, and that hardly sits with the whole JUST1C3 aspect. Hmm. (As for me, I'm hoping for some variant of Phoenix. Because red and fire and awesome mythological creatures (and Phoenix Wright obviously))

Also, I really love Astrea for the Dolorosa, and will actually be disappointed now if that isn't her name. (Only a little disappointed. But still some.)

[Qmark]

I already mentioned this in the comic discussion thread but...

Summoner: Dantay Bossco.

[OrangeAipom]

Caesar would be too recognizable, I think. like, it has to many preexisting connotations for too many people

isn't troll caesar called caeger? i mean the coins are named after him

also i prefer ruphio over rufioh. even though then there can't be some ru-fi-oh thing

Redglare: Tiamat (Dragon from Mesopotamian (?) mythology) Ashtad (Justice in Persian)

I need that worked into my fan name for Redglare:

What sounds better, Lusine Tiamat, or Tiamat Gamini?

You must keep "Gamini" at all costs. It is too funny to pass up. (Besides, Tiamat sounds more like a first name to me. *shrug*)

I've suddenly had the mental image of Hussie reading this thread, hunched over a notepad furiously scribbling down ideas.

For Redglare, how about Dvorah, an alternate spelling of Deborah, who was a judge/warrior queen/prophetess in the Book of Judges.

Aranea Octavi

Meenah (alternate form of Meena/Mina, the Vedic/Hindu name for Pisces)

One was by a music team member and the other by a mod. HUSSIE IS SO BIASED OMG!!!1!

[Acey Enn]

No actual names! There are no aliens named Steven!

Actually, Gamzee's name is derived from a Turkish name (Gamze), and I've actually encountered a non-Homestuck person named Aradia on Facebook. Like that was her actual name. (Seeing as how it's the name of a witch/goddess from Italian mythology, this is less weird than one might expect.) And Meenah is pretty much the same as Mina phonetically, and I'm pretty sure Mina is an actual name.

So it's actually not entirely implausible for a troll to have a "real" name. :3

On that note, Athena could work for one of the ladycestors. Possibly Redglare?

Not necessarily, Aranea had a lot of fan support, 90% of it was just me saying "Call her Aranea or I'll cut you so bad, you will wish I didn't cut you so bad!" but still we won't know. That is, of course, until she gets an intro page. If he says her last name is Octavi, he is biased, if he says it's Drider, he is unbiased, if he says it's something else, he will still be unbiased, but I will feel like a massive dick.

A real name that an american would recognize. Anyway, usually the names have some connection to the characters. Gamzee is sort of an exception, his name just sounds awesome

[mysteriousOutsider]

I'm almost certain that Andrew has known their names for quite some time now. Since before we ever saw them. Like with the A1 kids.

[P_equals_NP]

This discussion is now expanded to include A1 planet name speculation.

[SirPwnington]

A1 planet is Htrae. CANON.

Not necessarily, Aranea had a lot of fan support, 90% of it was just me saying "Call her Aranea or I'll cut you so bad, you will wish I didn't cut you so bad!" but still we won't know.

Oh sorry, I just checked through the Hivebent thread and saw it suggested once and thought OMG HUSSIE IS TOTES RACIST GUYS! But yeah I'm betting it will be Octavi because Hussie is so obviously biased against everything ever.

None of that was serious but you could probably tell

[bloodyEmissary]

I predict...
TROLL RUSSIA.

no wait that's already the name of the A2 planet

Edit: Negrocity would be pretty cool.

[mysteriousOutsider]

Guys, it's obvious.

It's called Trollplanet.

[wrinklefudger]

The planet's name is planet papaya

Guys, it's obvious.

It's called Trollplanet.

6-letter rule man... ma'am... ma'an?

[bloodyEmissary]

The planet's name is planet papaya

Alternia is eight letters, though

And Trollplanet has the same number of letters as Trollrussia.

[Pyradox]

Agreeing with whoever suggested Drider for Aranea, and I'm thinking Meenah's last name will be Icthys.

[Sporkaganza]

Agreeing with whoever suggested Drider for Aranea, and I'm thinking Meenah's last name will be Icthys.

Eh, Drider sounds too much like Strider. I like Icthys, though I think maybe the spelling should be varied a little bit. Ikthis?

Also, if the new one is called Alternia, the old planet was totally Primaria.

[wrinklefudger]

Agreeing with whoever suggested Drider for Aranea, and I'm thinking Meenah's last name will be Icthys.

I love icthys for meenah! I am positive that that will be her name, just because it sounds so good

[Mr_Smitt]

Guys, it's obvious.

It's called Trollplanet.

Troll'soom?

Trolldora?

Trolltooine?

Troll'Nos?

Trollbol?

[Kidror]

It'll probably be something-ernia. We have Alternia so it may even just be called ernia. Because A2 had the alt-ernia Get it?. I think the last names will be the same. Hopefully the Psionic will get a name like Pricks or something.. just because Hussie can do what he wants.
