Where DO people come up with names like "Ertanax"?

Some other weird ones I've seen: Tsathoggua, Cthon, Mi-Go.


heh, just realized all of those are from Derelict.... ::)

They're all names from the Lovecraftian mythos.

It's always a nice touch to pick names for most of your ships from a single strain. Personally, i've got all my ship names from one or two pages of the Wiki, which is hands-down just the best source for names.

Well if you mean FS 2 ship names then...
http://www.hard-light.net/wiki/index.php/Freespace_2_Ship_Database

Otherwise like looking for new names for the ships... Check for example pages like this one
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Greek_mythological_figures

Hmmm... the names of the ships in my campaign I either made up or got off that "How the ships got their names" page on... one of the older FS2 sites. Can't remember which.

I always just took random names and added/subtracted letters (Methos ---> GTCv Methodus, par exampla).
Spoon - I stand in awe by your flawless fredding. Truely, never before have I witnessed such magnificant display of beamz.
Axem -  I don't know what I'll do with my life now. Maybe I'll become a Nun, or take up Macrame. But where ever I go... I will remember you!
Axem - Sorry to post again when I said I was leaving for good, but something was nagging me. I don't want to say it in a way that shames the campaign but I think we can all agree it is actually.. incomplete. It is missing... Voice Acting.
Quanto - I for one would love to lend my beautiful singing voice into this wholesome project.
Nuclear1 - I want a duet.
AndrewofDoom - Make it a trio!

Trouble with that name is that it makes me think of Methodist which makes me think of that ****ing nasty communion bread... hem... anyway...
