Can you do better than "Urbanus"?

[shilsen]

Silvanus -> Forests

Urbanus -> Cities

...is it really all that bad? And even if it is, is it so hard to ignore? D&D thrives on cheesy names, anyway.

What he said. If it was good enough for the Greeks (Oceanus) and Romans, it's good enough for me.

What about Metroplex

Hasbro even has the Licence!

That should read Greeks (Okeanos)...

I still have my Metroplex (although I lost both of my Optimus Primes--I think I'm going to go in a corner and cry now)

Don't be sad - you can't really ever lose Optimus entirely. He is with us always in the Matrix. (The neat one, not the crappy movie series.)

Til All Are One.

I was thinking of Metroplex, Fortress Maximus, and Scorponok when I made my list earlier, and had to force the names out of my head, because they really don't sound appropriate (or at least I don't think so). Only Trypticon (or perhaps Trypticus?) even comes close to sounding okay, and then I've got the image of a giant metal dinosaur in my head - not very D&D.

Just you wait for the warforged-shifter crossbreed titan that can turn into a T-rex, though the names already taken I guess.

Hmmm....

Urbinicus?

I could be wrong, but I think the word "mare" or something like that was used for ocean in Latin. Also I believe, that the name of the greek god led to the word ocean - like a lot of other names, too, where I can't think of an example.

 

[Klaus]

Mare = sea
Ocenum = ocean

The Atlantic Ocean was called the Mare Oceanum, or Ocean Sea.

All IIRC.

Urbanos.

IMC, there is a godlike, sentient city. Kaztengarken. Nasty place, too, warped some tribe of orcs into its own psionic Übermenschen slaves. Nobody except Kaztens would worship it, though.
