Guild Names - The Good, The Bad, and the Annoying

[terror]

So, I assume some of you out there are like me and like a good name. This could be your character's name, or your pet's name, and even your guild's name. Sure, the name is sometimes of little importance when the other players in the guild are fun to play with, but, if you're like me, a bad guild name drives you crazy and may even repel you from joining or dealing with a guild.

Then again, I might just be crazy.

And so, going with that thought, I want to rate guild names to try and find what qualities go into what I see as a good guild name.
So, post below any guild names you can think of. Current, past, or prospective guild names; I'll take them all.

And, so I at least try and avoid some drama I don't know any guilds outside of my own; I don't know any guilds in Mercury. Frankly, I don't give a care about guild drama and, as such, will rate the names for what they are and not as a means of trying to make a judgement on the players in it. That being said, please remember that this is just me being picky old me, so no hard feelings if your name(s) don't resonate with me. ;3

From what I can tell...

Terror's Rules - Looking at the patterns below.

1. Good names should be simple, yet meaningful.
2. A lack of creativity- such as using language from the game itself- lessens a name's impact.
3. Guild names which attempt to invoke images of power- God, Lord, etc- or otherwise are intimidating have little appeal.
4. While it's all well and good, guild names which attempt to be funny make the guild feel less serious.
5. Guild names involving a specific country might appeal to connect players related to the country, but also feels exclusive.
6. (I have a weak spot for names in other languages. xD)


The List - Odd formatting, such as xX---Xx or numbers as letters and capitalization are removed.

The Good - Names which would convince me to join a guild.
Ascension
Advent
Destiny
Duality
Faith

[terror]

Holy hell Ren, that was some work. xD

[Cathy]

The Unknown - What are the meanings behind these names?
Hailua
LiberiFatali
RuoExtraxi
VongolaFamiglia

Liberi Fatali is a song

VongolaFamiglia just means "Vongola Family" with Vongola being a surname

Idk what the other two mean but I guess you could google it...

And I think you have bad taste cause I dislike some of the guildnames you like, and I like some of the ones you dislike lol. Either way you shouldn't always be judging guilds based on their name unless they're Spanish names.

[Cang Le]

Seireitei :)

[bigrick123]

-CollateralDamage
-Unemployed

ComaWhite
Hot


ComaWhite Damn... someone who remembers this guild... Those were the good days...GPat, Cwo, Pat.... *sigh*
Hot = guild with NotYouBuddy who is a complete idiot... I feel sorry for anyone with that name above your head.

[Raikyrios]

-DooDooBlkPplz
-SizeMatters

I don't think they're still active, but I never could forget those ones.

[Coincidence?]

Liberi Fatali is a song

VongolaFamiglia just means "Vongola Family" with Vongola being a surname

Yeah Liberi Fatali approximately translates to children of fate ( i could be wrong because google translate says real emotion)
and Ruo Extraxi means fallen comrade or something close to that. I might be wrong on these.

[Valdoroth]

Don't forget one of the old legends in Venus, CriticaL, which I'll forever be a part of :D
