In the stories that I'm writing, my character (Aeonis) has six swords which he summons at will out of pocket dimensions he keeps around him (as opposed to carrying them around in sheaths, like my avatar does), and I've currently got names and titles for five of them; I need suggestions on the sixth one's name (not title, unless you can think of a proper title to go along with it). Any suggestions?

---

Swords -

- The Crimson Slayer: Masamaka
- The Lightning Thrust: Kijiu
- The Grand Breaker: Ucidaiko
- The Phantom Storm: Gombidus
- The Divine Edge: Sevitica


I've decided to hold a contest to decide the sixth sword's name. You may suggest as many names as you want, and you may be as creative as you want. You may not, however, suggest the names of any famous katanas (Masamune, Murasama, Murasame, Kikuichimonji, etc.). There's no entry fee.

The contest ends on August 19th at 12 P.M. PDT. After that, the best three names chosen by me shall be polled and voted upon by you, the members. The winner gets 750 gold.

Gombidus and Sevitica, actually. The other three are Japanese-esque, but they're not famous swords wink .

this is true. i pretty much only glanced at the last letter of each one because japanese words can only end with either a vowel or the letter 'n'.

Admittedly, the first two sound Japanese. The last three, however, don't, in my opinion. Ucidaiko (Oo-si-die-ko; I'm not good with phonetic names) rolls off the tongue in a strange, yet interesting, way.

if you were to say "sevitica" with a japanese-style accent then it could work.......almost......
