I'm discovering that the biggest problem with writing a story about superheros is coming up with a code name that:
1) does not sound completely idiotic
2) has already been used
3) cannot be turned into some horrible pun
4) all of the above
I've got like two names. I need a team of... what? Five? Six? Seven?... superheros which means I need at least that many code names. Hell, I don't even have a good team name for these people yet. I've got two code names, two more characters without code names, and need several ideas for villains/misc. superheros names. I SUCK AT NAMES.
Wikipedia is my friend at this point.
Also,
miome has pointed out that one of the names I've already picked can be turned into a truly horrendously bad joke. Of course, this would be the code name for the one character that I came up with years ago and am featuring in this story. Too bad. Not changing it.
