Just out of curiosity, how many saber enthusiasts choose to name their sabers? After all, it is an old tradition to name an outstanding weapon; stories throughout history are filled with famous weapons (Excalibur, Sting, Glamdring, etc.) with distinctive names. I have noticed several people in the forum have names for their sabers. I think, now that I have the soundboard set up nicely, my Bellicose deserves a name... I like the sound of Mizz'ri. Any thoughts?

Every saber I own has a name. They have to. :]

What Do You Do When You Want To Name A Saber...??

You Come To Me Wink  Grin

(Just Joshing... Though I Would Be Happy To Help Name A Few of Your Sabers If You Would Like... It's A Personal Point of Pride For Me Wink!!!)

I Name Every One of My Sabers:  (Here's Another Taste Wink!!!)

"The Sins of The Father" (My Soon To Be Luke V2 If He Were To Turn To The Dark Side... Though The Blade Shall Remain Green (This Is A Personal Retrospective That I Had On the Saber... As I Believe My Father's Greatest Sin To Be Greed... Which I Consider To Be One of The Factors That Pushed Me To The Dark Side...)

"The Demon of The Light" (My Vader ESB Custom, Dedicated To Darth Caedus/Jacen Solo)

"The Anguish of Cain" (My Soon To Be Completed 3rd MHS Custom Saber Wink!!!)

"The God That Failed" (My Starkiller V1...)

"Caliburn" (My Soon To Be Completed Luke ANH/ESB Custom (You'll See Wink!!!)... I Am Sending This Into Ultrasabers Soon To Be Converted... Translated From Ancient Celtic To The English Word: "Excalibur")

That's Just A Few Wink!!!

(I Would Highly Encourage Naming Your Sabers Wink!!!  I Feel It Grants Them A Special Place of Honor In Your Heart When You Grant It A Name Wink!!!  For There Is POWER!!! In Words and Names Wink!!!)

I have a Raven so I called it: 'Mors Brachium' pronounced "MOORS-BRACK-EE-UM"

Which is essentially Latin for "Clawed Death."

Wraith's post is great. That is what I'm talking about, naming the blade makes it important! It gives it an artifact kind of feeling. You don't see many named weapons in sci-fi, however. (I'll just die if someone names a saber Ol' Bessie lol Grin) Love the colored text, Wraith Smiley

Hello Jedi. How nice of you to drop in.

I have now named my GB Archon v.2 "Lior" (pronounced Lee-Or) which is Hebrew for "My Light".  Since this is more of a light side design (as compared with Sekarasu, my Raven with SS pommel) I wanted a kinder, gentler name.  I didn't want anything smacking of violence or death or maiming in the name.  It is a saber that fights for justice.  However, Lior has quick disconnects and will soon have DVA and SRD as other options for color.

I wonder if the other color incarnations should have their own names?  After all, the crystal is the heart of the lightsaber.  If you change the heart, do you change the identity?

When I get my Overlord in 2 weeks I will be naming it Demon Slayer. I find the Sunrider's Destiny color to fit the name perfectly. I just gotta get the saber. xp
