ut 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?

Greetings and salu-somethings from a lurker.

How can one mention Heinlein, chauvanist that he is, in the context of strong female rolls and not mention Friday? Just about every one of his books has a female character, most of whom could be said to be 'strong' (an arguement could be made, anyway), mostly because he only had three characters, and this female character was one of them.

The Black Window's name was Natasha Kerensky, though Black Widow would probably do well on it's own.

Elvira's name was Cassandra Petersen (I believe), if anyone cares.

Petra Arkanian from Orsen Scott Card's 'Ender's Game' and a couple of following books?

Machiko Noguchi (or Dahdtoudi), of the Dark Horse comics Alien vs. Predator series?

Edit: Now I have pants, I love it when that happens.
Edit: In other news, I cannot spell.

Some times when creating RPG charecters I use a baby name finder. There are many on the web and they are easy to use. You could use this lists to create a pool of 2k+ names. I could not find one that I would call the best. But here links to a few:

If your looking for names I've found a tool that rocks... I use it now for most of my RPG characters. The Everchanging Book of Names...

It takes names from books and real life and generates original names that sound similar. So you can get a Tolkien sounding name without using Aragorn Just thought I'd throw it out there.

Thanks Troy, Kinboat. I think I'll have to make a webpage for name-finding resources.

Dogscoff, try Tracey and Sandra (you must have read Viz!)- they are far more frightening a concept that any of the other females posted here, I mean, a 'Tracey' class battleship bearing down on your poor fleet would just be too scary for words

[Loser]

Is Tammy Faye Baker scary?
