Alliance Name Brainstorm Thread

[Sciros]

Some random stuff I thought up. I mostly liked these because they sounds good when you say them out loud ^_^ You can also mix-and-match to see if something sounds better that way.

Unchained Vengeance
Darkness Exiled
Force Unleashed
Fury Of Ascalon
Black Rising
Savage Guard

Ok, this is getting seriously tricky to update. I would like to see any further ideas come with:

- Tag
- Capitalized first letters of each word
- Explanation of the name, because at this point I'm going to have to start skipping names I don't get. Sorry about that, but the list is really bloating now.

Ummm, regarding the "Beyond Ascension" idea - it honors RB and Arch...what about [Fail]? How about "Beyond First Ascension" [BFA]? That would get the 3 "founding" guilds in there.

I think we should do Best Friends Forever [BFF]

...sorry I couldn't help myself after seeing the tag from Hawk's post.

[Sciros]

I didn't think of any tags because I figure if people don't like the full name to begin with, there's no need for the tag, and if a name is really popular the tag can be decided on later. As for explanations... there aren't any. I just liked the way the names sounded. There's no "backstory" to Arch as a name, either, really.

AoZ should be in the short list. Roland loves it

2 more suggestions stolen from Cy

Protector of Kindred [PoK]

Kingdom of the Phoenix [KoP]

KoP

[FoxBat]

Kingdom of the Phoenix [KoP]

KoP

That has a very nice ring to it. If a bit egotistical.

Well... if we're worried about having a name derived from the founding guilds, then probably a name like "kingdom," which is shortened to the same thing a founding guild leader called "King of __" is frequently shortened... well, it's at least as worrisome :-P

That being said I also don't really like it. Not a big fan of kingdoms. Something with "Phoenix" is ok, but I wonder if it won't coincide a bit with all the guilds out there that have "Phoenix" in their title (I imagine there are quite a few).

Oh yeah seriously... Protector of Kindred... Kindgom of the Phoenix... I was wondering why it sounded so familiar...

Kindred Knights of the Phoenix [KKoP] == guild in ZoS

So... yeah. And by yeah I mean no :-P

[WarBlade]

Back when I came up with the initial ideas for that first post the movie title "Kingdon of Heaven" popped into my head and I thought that a "Kingdom of..." name might be kinda cool.

Around about three or four seconds later I was chastising myself for how silly that idea was. A kingdom implies a king leads and we're actually trying to run away from monarchy-based leadership structures, not towards them.

That has a very nice ring to it. If a bit egotistical.

Nah, that's not egotistical. "Kingdom Of Pain" would be a bit egotistical.

personally i think you shouldnt try to include any original guilds or any abbreviations that can be linked to a persons name since it will sound elitist and doesnt really go in the general direction of ''equality''

...btw im all for humor names like a few of grimms suggestions with the ''nobody is home'' and whatevers and hawks lovely ideas as well. as long as its not just plain childish (like certain farm songs and pig noises).
