“Oh no, I cant name my 40k OC that, there is already another character named that.”

My brother in christ, there was a Horus and one of his closest men (little) Horus, in the main book!

Every name has been taken in 40k. Every single one. Even/especially the really dumb ones.

There are so many characters. So many. Name them whatever you like.

If someone cares they are dumb.

Sometimes when I'm reading or watching shows/movies, I scoff at a name for being too silly/unrealistic/ on the nose/sounding like something else/having a double meaning. So I've started keeping a list of silly names that have actually existed in the actual world, to remind myself to be kinder to writers (and to myself when I come up with a stinker of a name). Here's a selection from the list I've collected.

Courtesy of those wacky Puritans: Strive Evermore Preserved Fish (yes, really. pronounced pre-serve-ed) If-Jesus-Christ-Had-Not-Died-For-Thee-Thou-Hadst-Been-Damned Barbon (I feel like no one was surprised when he started going by Nicholas) Die-Well Sykes

Other Historical Goodies:

Sophus Bugge (linguist) Snorri Sturluson (folklorist) States Right Gist (confederate general, boo!!!!) Antigonus Monophthalmus (general serving under Alexander of Macedon, named Monopthalmus after losing an eye in battle) Ptolemy II Philadelphus (meaning "sibling-lover", was funnily enough the guy who kicked off the Ptolemaic Dynasty's unfortunate marriage customs) Wang Man (father of Chinese Emperor Wang Mang)

Asinius Gallus (literally "donkey rooster" or since both were already insults, too, ass cock -- there were actually quite a lot of ancient Romans who had this as part of their name. imagine being the poor Roman senator who once lost a debate to senator asscock...)

Last 100 Years:

Dick Assman (reincarnation of Asinius Gallus, or just a humble Canadian gas-station owner with cruel parents? you decide)

Dick Swett (little hot there in the halls of congress, Representative Swett? it's almost too easy to make fun of guys named Dick, so I'll stop now)

Batman Bin Supraman (millennial guy from Java; you can find pictures of his drivers license online)

Mai Phat Sau Nghin Ruoi (name literally means "fined 6,500 dong" which was the amount his parents had to pay for violating the one-child policy in Vietnam in the 80s. I can't say I'm surprised he changed his name when he grew up) Number 16 Bus Shelter (a guy from New Zealand)

Yahoo Serious (Australian actor/director)

Peerless Price (modern sportsball player who sounds like he belongs in the wacky Puritan section) Tokyo Sexwale (South African politician... i know his name is a lot less funny when it's pronounced right, I just don't care) Bonus Animal Round: Aha ha (wasp) Boobie (bird) Titmouse (bird) Blue Tit (bird) Cockchafer (beetle) Sparklemuffin (spider) Vini vidivici (bird) Dik-dik (antelope)
