[QUOTE="Mustrum_Ridcully, post: 3758422, member: 710"] Many good suggestions. I think the english equivalent for "Erz" is "Arch" in this context, not Ore. (though the language roots might be th same :) ) The names might also be a question of what "flavour" do you want - do you want short, evocative names, or more official sounding names? "Ubermensch" might be the name used in the streets. "Soldat der neuen Herrenrasse" would probably be a official title. Acronym: "SolNeuHer" / "SNH" "Idealer Soldat" might also be a good title. ("Perfect Soldier") Acronym: "IS" or "IdeSol" "Hexenmeister": street "Soldat der Arkanen Einheiten": official name "Führer der Arkanen Einheiten": Official name of the "Arch Mage" Acronym: "SolArkE"/SAE" and "FühArkE"/"FAE" "Erzdekan": could be both. "Führer der Okkulten Einheiten": official name for the Arch Priest Acronym: "FühOkkEin" or "FOE" "Brutstätte"/"Zuchtstätte": Street "Lager für Genetotypische Optimierung": Official. ("Camp for genetic optimization") "Lager für Völkische Zucht": Official. ("Camp for folkish Breeding".Sounds a bit to much like an animal farm in German, but that might be because the word "Zucht" is rarely outside that context used days) Acronyms: "LGO", "LagGenOpt" or "LagVöZ" "Deutscher Volksender": Official. Acronym: "DVS" "Götterdämmerung": Code Name. "Ministerium für Experimentelle Naturkunde": Official. ("Department for experimental Earth and Life Sciences") Acronym: "MENK" or "MinENat" "Blutwächter": Street (and indicating that they might also be pretty brutal) "Abteilung für Rassenhygiene": Official "Abteilung für Volkhygiene": Official Acronym: "ARH" or "AVH" The acronyms might not be perfect, as I am not _that_ familiar with the naming scheme used there. But I remember things like "Der Grösste Feldherr aller Zeit" was shortened to "GröFaZ" (Greatest Commander in Time). Part of the flavor of the names (aside form being German in the first place) should be that the words itself do not really imply the sinister things standing for them. Needing "Lebensraum" doesn't sound like "Waging a brutal War against all my neighbours". "Konzentrationslager" doesn't sound like there have to be Gas Chambers and Mass Executions of civilians...
