Need Help! · 6:50am Feb 29th, 2016

Alright, y'all! I'm gonna need your help on this one. I need some names for ponies in the upcoming chapters. More specifically, I need names for Nurses and Guards. Any and all names are helpful, but try and keep them themed (ie no nurses named Apple Fritter, etc).

Thanks in advance! :moustache:

Edit: T-too much help... too many names!

Heart pulse if it hasn't been used for a unicorn or defib works too

Shining Shield, Golden Arrow, Lancer, Dusk Blade

Guard: Fine Temper
Guard: Unflinching Resolve
Guard: Steel Resolve
Nurse: Thorough Mend

They may not be that good but I hope it helps :)

Triage, Sterile Syringe (wang jokes anyone?), Stalwart Brace, Lifeline, Intensive Care, Rolling Thunder, Whisper Flare

Nurses: Side Patch, Able Quack, Vigor Tonic
Guards: Solid Shield, Morning Star, Snap Shot

I always used Honed Steel as a guard
Nurses Light Hearted, Gentle Breeze

Sir SparkleBottom

I have Head Trauma as a medic, and I like Recon, though I think that would work better for a changeling. Maybe Swift Screen or Crimson Lance. You can call that last one out as a reference too =P

I'm guessing you don't want a nurse named Penny Ceiling?
It'd also be fun if there was a guard named General Mayhem (or general anything). And then he's a captain or something. Ponies would be shouting his name "General!" and then he's like "Actually, I'm only a captain!"

Straight Arrow, Last Breath, Heavy Hitter, Bandaid, Litt!e Rest.

Apple Fritter might not work as a nurse name...but Daily Apple should work just fine. :trollestia:

Guards: Air Strike (pegasus guard), Arcane Force (battle mage), Tremor Hooves (Earth pony guard, maybe a relative of Derpy?)

Nurses: Cantrip (low-level spell, possibly for healing), Saving Scalpel.

I suck at names. :fluttercry: it takes me a while to come up with them, but if something pops up, I'll shout it out.

Sometimes, if I'm having trouble with names, I look stuff up about the character to help me. Like if its a doctor, then I look up a word like "health", then see how other languages would say that word and that helps to get the creative juices flowing. :twilightsheepish:

Guard - Crystal Dagger
Guard - Strong Hold
Guard - Diamond Helm
Nurse/doctor - Cure De Sommeil
Nurse - Herbal Care

those are the best i could think of

Nurse Tough Love

That's all I got.

EDIT: I got one more. Doctor Swift Stitch. Guess what they specialize in?

Trick shot, starshine shield, Hawkeye (both as a medic *M*a*s*h reference if he is sarcastic, or a guard) glitter shield (could be siblings of starshine), air raid, Trojan (give him a carpenter cutiemark), Trench apple (idk not good at last names)

Nurse Strawberry Hearts - Unicorn pink with green mane and tail
Guard Thunder Charger - Pegasus yellow with ice blue mane and tail.
Guard Steel Bulwark- Earth pony grey with charcoal grey mane and tail.

A private named The Private. His parents had low expectations, and a nurse named night shift she works nights.

Solar shield for a guards name.

Cross Shield and Pure Heart
thats all i got for both sides :twilightsheepish:

Nurses:
-Steady Hoof (Male)
-Soft Touch (Female)
-Hum Erus (Female) (I know, horrible.)
-Myelin (Female)
Guards:
-Spear Tip (Male)
-Stirrup (Female)
-Swift Justice (Male)
-Taut Saddles (Female)
-Buckaroo (Male)

I think Pulse would be a good field medic. I get vibes of the operator from the new rainbow six game when I think of that name though.

And since there's obviously an archaic sort of guard, there might be a few batmen mixed in. Yes, it's an actual thing.

Let's see, I think that due to having Doughnut Joe mixed in the with the universe you could probably have something like Whistling Jack, Johnny Tarr, or the likes, at least have a potential smattering of a human name or two coupled with an adjective.

There's always plenty of names to steal from the history, just to get away from the typical adjective + noun naming system that quite frankly gets tiring. Alaric, Arminius, Scipio, Pyrrhus. I mean hell, you can either make Lionheart into an added title or a standalone name. Either way, there are tons of historic names you can draw from for those few badasses that just don't quite have a name to themselves yet.

Extending from that and looking into the medical side of things, there's Galen, Astruc, Fleming, Fallopius. Reed is a popular name for doctors.

So now that I've brainstormed and thought of a better way to harvest polymer in Ark by accident, I'm reading another chapter in the Sunfall series and getting some sleep.

Guard name parts:
Siege, Baton, Morning Star, Arbalest (bow), Ballista (bow), Battering ram, Mortar, Bailey, Pitch Ditch, Tower, Moat, Murder Hole, Fire Lance, flint wheel, Rocket, Cast Iron. Chert, flint, and obsidian (used for sharpening stone tools) can be brothers or something. Cross-Guard, Quillon Block, Back Edge (Unsharpened edge on a single-edged sword), Pell Mell, honorable ordinaries (the fields of a shield broken into sections) , Buckler (small round medieval shield). Bark, Hide, Wood, Metal, Wicker, Basket work, (materials of medieval shields).

Colors used for medieval shields:
Yellow (Or), White (Argent), Red ( Gules), Blue (Azure), Black (Sable), Green (Vert)

The fields of shields divided into patterns:
Diagonal Cross ( Saltire), Horizontal Stripe (Fess), Vertical Stripe (Pale), Diagonal Stripe ( Bend), Angled Stripe - (Chevron)

You could also name ponies based on parts of a sword:
medievallifestyle.com/images/armor-and-weapons/parts-of-a-sword.jpg

Nurse name parts:
Black Bile, Yellow Bile, Herbal, remedy, Butter poultice (used to treat lanced boils of bubonic plague), lily root (for bubonic plague), henbane (treats aching joints) and hemlock (aching joints), Coriander (reduce fever), wormwood, mint, balm, tea,

... So take those name parts and start slapping them together: Herbal Grace (herb + personality trait), Sable Flint (shield color + stone age sharpening tool), Argent Bright (shield color + shininess), Holy Balm... you get the idea.

Nurses; Lancet, carefree, honeyed heart, swift care, sweet remedy.

Gaurds; Bracer, thunder hooves, swift wing, shadow steal, hard stride.

Came up with 57 guard names: Ready Barricade, Brawny Bastille, Able Armor, Stark Shelter, Cogent Cover, Ready Abled, Robust Refuge, Dashing Deft, Apt Ward, Steeled Fort, Fiery Champ, Contender Cool,
Setin Stone, Low Tone, Full Tone, Certain Stronghold, Bastion Stout, Hard Barrier, Spell Refuge, Aether Armament, Firm Armament, Gritty Grace, Stable Charm, Spectral Rampart, Mystic Missile, Fire Bolt, Bold Battler, Daring Grit, Spunky Shield, Brassy Barrier, Icy Trench, Gallant Heart, Standard Bearer, Steel Plate, Surety, Reliance, Certitude, Hardihood, Lock Stock, Steel Fervor, Firm Fortitude, Brazen Backing, Just Virtue, Reverence, Tenacity, Brave Mettle, Certain Candor
