Names

It's important that a character's name suit the tone of the film. It should be short, sharp, and sound cool. Your name — your free name — is very much like a hacker nickname, a title as much as a moniker, a symbol of your passing. It shouldn't be commonplace; it should be descriptive and commanding of respect. A hint of the mythological also helps (except where said names are also taken by X-Men characters).

• Examples of good names: Apostate, Rat, Judas, Simon, Icarus, Gorgon, Eurydice, Door, Nemesis, Eclipse, Chimera, Nexus, Hades, Priest, Demon, Pax, Zero.
• Examples of bad names: Quentin, Sally, Eustace, Chupacabra, Tinky-Winky, Nipple, Explosion, Disk-drive, Altar Boy, Terpsichore, Fax, Ninja, Thrakkagog, Wolverine, Zorro.
