Naming my blade?

crowinghorse · Aug 26, 2003

Every good sword, spear, axe, or weapon/tool has had a good name.
After having my custom tomahawk/lance made by Justin, I wanted to name it something good, but only came up with "Lance Hawk." IMO, that sound too much like a bad 1980's toyline or action figure...

Anyone have any ideas?

You can see a picture of the hawk here:

Let me know what you think it should be named!

I like Lance Hawk but i will try to come up with something different.
How about:

The American Advantage

I'll do some thinking and get back to you.

How about "Next Generation Halberd"? (unless that violates some name rights of ATC)

How about:

The Odin

I call my axe "F Train"...Put simply, would you ever want to be a hit by a train? Obviously not...same goes for my hawk. Gotta love NYC train platforms!

Crowinghorse,

So what did you end up naming the new hawk?

crowinghorse · Oct 31, 2003

I really haven't "decided" yet...

It is terrible, but everytime I think of a good one, I shoot it down later...

I am currently in the process of writing a book about my time in Iraq, but have started outlining another book that will be set in a "fantasy/future-history" setting...a little weird, but I want to use an axe-like weapon in it (like David Gemmell useds "Snaga" in the book "Legend.") Anyhow...I thought "Glaxe" was a pretty good name...?!?

What do you think? Maybe for the basic "design" of the weapon, but not the specific name of mine...
I am still open to suggestions...

I read a book one time where a big ogre dude had a halberd that he called "Friendmaker" because everytime he pulled it out everyone wanted to be his friend.

If you folks can't come up with anything better, it's definitly Fred.....
Even if you guys come up with something better...every time he looks at it...he's gonna think....'Fred'....
Sorry Sarge.....

For a fantasy/sci-fi name let's see.....Stormberd, Hairsplitter, Combax. That's all I got this early in the morning.
