    As the title suggests, I'm looking for people's ideas on a new name for the new Viking Fighter.

    Out of all of the new stuff revealed in the Swedish magazine recently, I am personally most interested in the Viking Fighter by far. However, that name just doesn't do it. So let's make it known to Blizzard and find some better ones while we're at it.

    Post up your ideas. Adopt-A-Name Foundation open for business.

    yeah, so? it wasnt a main brood (Tiamat, Jormugand[spelled wrong], Garm, Baelrog) so it really doesnt matter that much. and i really like the name.

    chupacabra would be a better name for a zerg unit....

    hehe the cupacabra! it's a comming!

    nice name for a hero zergling

    for the viking its totaly gotta be optimus prime
    but thor needs a new name (Unless its got some thunderbolt technic)
    id go with behemoth, nice simple name that gets the point across

    the ground part is clearly a replacement of the Goliath. Which is not norse, it is from the old testament

    i realize that, but many of the new terran units (new since the original) have had norse names. valkyrie, thor, viking. since it has a norse name now, might as well put a new norse one in.

    im not saying id be pissed with some name that isnt norse, but its nice when things have themes, for example, the protoss. most of the protoss names are involved with christianity or at least religion, such as zealot, templar, arbiter.

    What about Shiva? Wasn't that a god/goddess that could change forms and also the god of destruction?
    Not sure if it sounds cool or "badass" enough though. Personally, I like the name Viking.

    Personally I like the names they have now. But just for fun here are a few ideas

    Viking: Griffin, Harpy, Icarus, Chimera.

    Thor: Zeus, Titan, Cerberus, Minotaur.

    hey why keep it norse?

    leviathan, kraken, and chimera are mnonsters and doesn't have a metal thingy going on so skip it.

    colossus could be a cyclops.
    bahamut now thats nice. but too famous and can easily be identified or something.

    thor is awesome. titan is nice

    the viking looks bulky / fat. and they look similar with the thors. their like brothers, i hope the final(in game) or real version of it(vikings) doesn't look like a weaker and smaller version of a thor. anyway i think they should just remodel it and make them completely different from the thor.

    just a thought, if we're gonna used names of mythological beings, then shouldnt the machines/creatures resemble those beings?

    Ex. a chimera could be the name of a terran land rover with three seperate guns on the front of it
    ( a chimera had three different heads, and i can only remember that one was a sannke and another was a goat, it also had a body of a lion. plaese dont think that the warcraft3 chimera is an actual chimera)
