Warrior Women - Name hunt

[oleg]

How about :

Dorothy Truscott
JoAnna Stansby
Tobi Sokolow
Mildred Breed
Karen MacCallum
Kathei Wei-Sender
Shawn Queen
Rita Shugart
Michel Bruner
Rona Goldenfield

They all can beat me down and some ot them already did few times. That is is bridge of course, but who says you should not be warrior to excel ?

You don't necessarily have to use all proper names, of course. You can use some 'mythical categories' and generic types like 'Earth Mother' or whatnot. I could probably search my 'metaphoric entities' list and find a few... hmm, a quick search only produes ***** Goddess. The others are almost all animals. Oh, well...

Thanks, this is fascinating. That site Baron posted is a good resource, and links to some fascinating sites.

Anyway, I've uploaded the amazon file to my website (from the main page, got to the "various" page.) I think I might make two more names files - one for historical warrior women (ie ones who really existed) and one for fictional / mythological ones. The Valkyries will probably use the historical file.

But shouldn't the Valkyries include fictional names of valkyries (from Wagner, norse myth, etc)?

If I can find enough of them, I probbly will. I was very surprised to get 80+ amazons, I'm not sure I'll find so many authentic valkyries... If I do then that will be ideal, if not then I think a list that commemorates all those combative woen through history will be fine.

I already suggested Red Sonja below.

The girls in Heavy Metal have very normal names. I don't think a ship named 'Jenny' or whatever is gonna be very intimidating.

Elvira? How about Vampira?

Bionic Woman might make a decent ship name, but FEMBOT would really rule! I'd forgotten about the Fembots. They've become classic camp, but what's a 4X game without some camp SciFi for flavor?
