I theme mine after birds. Anything whose design I swap parts around, I give "Kai" at the end like in Mobile Suit Gundam.

So I have the Eagle (Rocketeer), Falcon (Reaper), Goshawk (Berserker), Roc (Initiate Vanguard), and...Pigeon (Cr-T Recruit)

My favorite mech is the raider, affectionately named "Rapier", for the graceful weapon designed for dueling and stabbing people in the chest.

My brawler is named "Kludge", for obvious reasons.

My Scout is "Bits", because it's small. I should probably rename this one, since I use it a lot and the name is kinda meaningless, but it sounds slightly cute, and I love the idea of dominating with a small cute mech.

The Reaper is "Zatam", because it sounded cool. No actual meaning.

Predator is "Mince"
SharpShooter is "Stab"
CRT is "Vex"
They needed a name, and this is what I came up with. No real meaning in these names. I just didn't want them nameless, since I play with them from time to time. (Except the SS and the CRT, and I'm not sure I'll be playing Predator much.)

Coincidentally, I am not left handed.

Those of you who recognize what character my avatar most closely resembles will probably have an easy time guessing.

When I first got into Hawken, my favorite mech was the Infiltrator, so I named it Kogasa. She wasn't very good at surprising people, and I was a terribad Infie pilot (still am even today). Now that the devs nerfed her into the ground to the point where she's just a Berserker without a damage booster, I call my Infiltrator "Junk". Because it is.

CR-T Recruit = Reimu (the main character/poster boy)
Raider = Youmu (half-ghost who's all about closing in fast)
Vanguard = Yuyuko (no real relation here) <- my new main
Berserker = Flandre (both can break things in mere fractions of a second)
Assault = Sanae (the palette swap counterpart to the main character/poster boy)
Leader of the non-existent Scarlet Squadron.
You can't treat a mech like a human being. A MECH NEEDS LOVE!

Mine are simply phonetic/NATO. It started off when I was a part of the first forum fan fiction that happened called " a windy day on Ilal " Where I named my Berserker Bravo 7. It has spread from there! I think once I have unlocked all elite chassis for them I may go in and rename them again according to which faction (Sentium or Prosk) they fit in with better.
