    Yautja naming

    Im told that the two readily available sources for names are either cheap or looked down on,Those being The AVP wiki and A yautja name generator. With that in mind what are some ideas for places to look for inspiration,be it books or otherwise,also how does the predator naming system work?,ive seen a few naming systems from aliens in fiction(The Tau in warhammer 40K for example divide their names into threes with the first part of the name outlining their caste,the second outlining their home sept or homeworld(s),with the last being personal usually outlining their achievements in life EX:Shas'o Vior'La Shovah Kais Mont'yr which roughly translates to "Fire caste Commander *Hot blooded* Farsight the skillful Blooded" In low gothic) But most of these Races tend to be very social and have names that reflect such,but from what ive seen the predators work purely based on achievement communicating rarely. So beyond ideas on where to look what are some of your ideas on names?

    You can take inspiration from almost anything.

    Whilst you can use the Yautja name generator or use known words from the Yautja language.

    Think about how many times you can see the same name. A problem with the whitelist at one point was that pretty much every Pred player had the same damn name with the words in different orders.

    Just make up a random name that seems alien

    "Benoo'Maine", "Karr'En", "Humm'Ungus", "Edg'Ardo", "Dork'keli", "Kob'ol Sa'ck" names are plenty, be sure to have meme one that isn't easy to spot.

    The Yautja language isn't a very developed one, ontop of that there are a multitude of various interpretations of it floating around on the net.

    No one here has a problem with you coming up with a name of your own as long as it sounds like it could be a name for a Yautja.
