If I end up with female soldiers, Jade Raymond springs to mind.

With names like that I'd be too terrified to let them run around unguarded back home in the base. =/Originally Posted by Brian Damage
Damn, you beat me to it.
Mine:
BA
Hannibal
'Face'
Murdoch.
Inky
Blinky
Pinky

Cheshire
March Hare
Humpty

I have no idea what this is refers to. But if you end up with a female soldier, might I suggest "Sue".Inky
Blinky

I like the way the devs seem to have a meme about suggesting players, in each interview I've seen, to name their soldiers after friends and family members. It shows well they are fans of the original XCOM games since we probaby all did it back then (at least, I know I did).
So, I'll just do that and name my soldiers after my real world army squadmates. It has the advantage of making it personal when a muton horribly smash your best buddies to pieces!
Are they the ghosts from Pac Man?Inky

Gives a whole new meaning to the name Ghost Recon.
Just let them follow the base's Roomba around on their off-duty period.
Laser

Taser

If you can dodge a plasma bolt, you can dodge a ball. If you can dodge a blaster bomb, you can dodge a ball. If you can dodge a charging Chryssalid, you can dodge a ball.
Inni, mini, miny, moo.
I usually think of these threads as cheesey, and never reply.. but heck, we have 6 months to kill so why not.
Acutally, I am also replying because I came up with the perfect names for my first 4 squaddies and I'm really excited about it !
Gen_Pho
Gazz
Inkidu
Katscan
the next two followups will be
SectoidSquisher
Brian Damage
I will let you guys know how you do. Unfortunately, I can tell you right now not all of you will come back home after the first mission. Although I think I have a better chance than the rest of you because, guess what? Inkidu is on point and my ass is in the rear !
Isn't everyone's ass in the rear?
Ba-dum-tish!
Laugh it up, Brian. Laugh it up. Guess who's on point now if something happens to Inkidu ..
I'll bet our squad motto is "Exercitus est sicut stercus gallinaceum. Quam potest relinquo?"...
Larry, Curly, Moe, Shemp.
J/k.
Doubt I'll even bother with the first squad or three since I'll restart the game repeatedly while learning and experimenting.
Lavernus Tucker, Leonard Church, Michael J Caboose, and Frank DuFresne.
Cuz I'm a sucker for Red Vs Blue
Mine depends if I'm gonna play it classic mode, then I probably wont name them, if I'm going with my favorite train-5-guys-into-elite-squad-then-win-the-game mode: my family, if I'm doing the terminator soldier thing (one maniac with 100 accuracy, 100 Health, 80 Psi energy, 65 psi attack and 75 Psi defense) I have a special name for him: ErazemPredjamski
Can I be the scout after Brian?
Hehe.. people lining up to get shot up. I should put money on which forum member gets killed by a berserker first.
Dude, I'm so badass I can take a berserker hand-to-hand.
That gave me a good laugh :PDude, I'm so badass I can take a berserker hand-to-hand.
I always name them after their strengths:
James Snipper, Heavy D., B-Man, Chuck Norris.
I'll join, too! I can't shoot straight but I can sing. (If you've seen "Mars Attacks" then you know the awesome power of song.)
Hurm... I think I'm going to go niche with the names of my first squad:
Edmund Blackadder
S. Baldrick
George Colehurst St. Barleigh (Or just George Barleigh, if need be)
Kevin Darling
Alternative names:
Melchett
Nursey
Queenie
Bob Parkhurst
Lord Flashheart...
And that's enough.
Death Daisy
Immanuel Kant
Boggy B
Ciaphas Cain
There are enough active people on these forums that I can just pull their names for my squad, heh. I wonder how many of us will be still 'active' after the game is released. I, for one, will probably not be around for the first couple weeks since I don't want to see any spoilers. That's going to be hard tho, since I'm watching all the podcasts and interviews.
I think I'll just play a game with Katscan the assault soldier and see how far you get on your own.
Probably pretty far (distance wise at least) given the very large movement distance ! Ba-dum-boop. Cymbal crash.
Name 'em? I never name em. Even the most highly trained operative is expendable, and I'll be too attached to the little buggers if I named them...
Actually never named them too.
Probably should have tried...
What are the consequences?
Well you could always give them code numbers, like gunner 41256 / HW
The consequences are (as JS has mentioned about a designer) if you have a soldier named after your wife/girlfriend, maybe after sustaining a wound you retreat her to cover instead of going all out and risk losing her ...
first four (Most likely)
Plasma Eater
Longshot
Rodeo
Hotshot
James 'Sarge' Logan
Gillian 'Jade' Sinclaire
William 'Amra' Lioncourt
Dwayne 'Headshot' Johnson
Sorry to bring this old ass thread back, but the title is still relevant, and it brings back old memories.
Where the hell did Brian Damage ever go ?!
I might actually pick names from that thread where everyone told where they're from and what type of soldier they preferred to be.
