Coming up with Yuan-ti names...

Honestly, I'd forgo the cornucopia of "s" sounds and the apostrophes that are bound to go with them and borrow from Chinese/HK martial arts film nomenclature, i.e. Smiling Snake, Jade-Faced Snake, Boss Snake, Sober Snake, Solid... err.. wait, no... Laughing Serpent, etc.

edit: now I want to play a Yuan-Ti Drunken Master monk named "Sober Snake". He'd be something of a liar.

Personally, if you have to hiss a bit while saying the name, it's a good fit. So th sounds, lots of "S" and "I" and maybe an apostrophe or two. I always figure Yuan-Ti to be sort of the snake-people version of Drow, rather long names with some combination of house and order and such.
