I use four main methods – steeling names I like from obscure fiction (to the best of my knowledge none of the examples here fall into that category), jamming normal words together to form a cool name, using a single (often obscure) word, or forming names from other languages (real, imaginary, and combinations of the two). A quick scan of my notes turned up the following, though I know I've had dozens more.While these do sometimes have specific in-game powers attached to them, I generally do names based on origin, myth, philosophy of owner/maker or religion, so I'm not bothering to duplicate the game rules for each weapon. I think the names most stand on their own.Autumn's ClawWinter's BiteDawnbringerBlack AzothThe Dark Eye of NerisAmmin's FistNightcrestIronboltHoltkeeperMoonfireBright-RailAcediastAbderain, the Jester's BladeDawkDeflagratorKedgeOutranceWhisperHeiklinge (holy razor)Vinkastal (steel wave)Kylabett (biting cold)Havsegvagg (storm wall)Jatteknup (giant's braid)Nattvaktare (night guard)Daedalege (cunning blade)Uinen Kal (great circle)Dhoketh (hawk's wind)Trafera (tree warden)</blockquote>
