Erm... This is a bit embarassing, but I need serious help.
I have a race of big, golem-style monsters planned as warriors for a future tech NRP that I'm a part of, and I've worked out their details - Culture, fighting style, names, etc - but there is one major issue.
I don't know what to call the race. I've tried looking it up and nothing seems quite right. I've ran entirely out of ideas. Can anyone help?
Basically, they live to fight. They serve their masters with uttmost loyalty on the battlefeild and are always looking for their next challenge. They even fight each other, though not to the death. They are rocky in appearance and huge in stature - about 7' tall. They fight using melee weapons when they can, but if they use ranged weapons it's typically a huge, two-handed cannon or minigun.

Also, I have a character in a different RP who is supposed to be a playful, mischevious girl who wears revealing clothing and gets into a lot of fights but acts a bit like a child - wolf whistling at attractive characters, giggling happily to herself, referring to fighting as "playing", calling her foes "losers" and "suckers" instead of more mature insults. She's about 17, 18 years old.
Similiarly, I don't know what to name her. I tried names like "Eris" and "Raven" but they sound too mature and dark, rather than impish.
This one is a fantasy RP, though, if that helps. I'd also rather make her name European - she was born in a Scandanavian-style country and raised somewhere similiar to Germany.

Many thanks.

A. Google [culture/species] name generator. ex: German name generator.

B. Name your thing after a thing in real life. Ex: Kouri = Curry. Because Kouri is a fire mage. And curry is spicy.

For the golems, either just name them golems, or try to figure out more cultural. Find a mythology or something, or pick a defining trait and mess around with google translate. Search for inspiration and it will come to you.

Normally this is what I'd do, and I have several other characters in the same RPs that got their names through that i.e. "Weisse" means "White" and he is a coward (White flag, white feather) and Amy "de la Rosa" - "Of the Rose" is pretty but cold and bitter, like a rose with thorns. But this is one of those rare occasions where it's not working

A. A lot of the Germanic/Scandanavian names sound really harsh. I'm getting names like Eva, Hildegard and Gunilla that just don't fit the girl I'm trying to make.

B. Google translate is acting up and half the words I put in come back in English. I press theo "listen to" button to see if there's been a mistake in displaying it and all I hear is the English word said in a funny accent. So I put in related words like "destroyer" "mischief" and "demon" a I get a swedish or german voice telling me I have indeed put the words "destroyer","mischief" and "demon" into the box.
Either that, or they sound too similiar to English. The Italian word for Hell is Inferno. Destroyer in French is Destructuer. Even Japanese can't help, considering "Akuma" (Demon) is a Street Fighter.

Thanks for the website. I'll look on there.

As for the Golems, it looks like I might just have to. Google Translate is out of the question for the aforemention reason. But mythology... I hadn't thought of that.

Thanks for helping, both of you. You've helped a ton. Hopefullly I can find something to suit me soon.

Try Lorelei, it's a German myth about an enchanting female accused of bewitching men and causing their death.

EDIT: Steinhaertz? Means Stone-Heart, it may refer to their golem like appearance, loyalty and/or culture.

You can also try looking up names of Cyclops, they tend to have their name adjectived.

That actually really suits. Thank you!

I've been toying with the name Carnaroth, a mix of Carnifice (meaning "Executioner") and Astaroth, the Phoenecian demon of lust. Steinhaertz is a good name, though. I might have a city or military division named Steinhaertz if I don't use it for the beasts.

I'm of the opinion that names shouldn't generally reflect the character's personalites. Names are typically given by parents to splodges of meat with ambiguous genetics and many possible pathways while growing up to have the personality they will have at any given age.

A parent can't scry their name out of the aether based on how the kid will turn out. A character's name is almost exclusively a reflection only on the parents and the society they grow up in.
