You could have just posted this on the other thread.

I updated the blog with it's own poll. Thank you all in advance!
Eldritch Knight comes to mind
I dont think picking a realworld People and just nicking there name is a good solution. If this is the arcane paladin i suggest you find out what these guys do in your World and then name then after that. Like Guardians of fallen sky, Seekers of the lost veil or Wardens of the Tower. as the poll is now i cant vote.
I agree that substituting more real world cultural warrior names is not conducive to your efforts. I urge you to either ask for suggestions or rename it yourself.
You mean real world names like the Knights of Charlemagne, also known as Paladins? What about Inquisitor and all the bad stuff the name brings with itself? Barbarians? Witches and Druids also have some negative historic connotations.
It's just the name for a class for a table top role playing game...

The classes you name here have a relation to what they do in the game, at least to a degree.
The Saxons wasent magic horse men. Pehaps call them green knigths that is a magic knigth in a King Arthur story.Edit: if you call them Visigoth you May as well call them marine infantarist, or baseball player. IMOP.

Umm, yes. That's exactly what I mean. Just because Paizo/someone else did it doesn't mean it bears repeating. And as the good cap'n points out above, they at least model what the class does.

Sure. But you didn't just ask. You asked for assistance. Folk provided advice.
paladins aren't called paladins because of the historical order, they are called this way because the word "paladin" evolved a unique meaning in English language with its own connotations.
What you are doing is paramount to finding a Commoner archetype called the Lyncher, focused about lynching people, and then asking why aren't any archetypes for Jayhawkers ---- you know, because Charles Lynch became the codifier of the term lynching during the American Civil War, and Jayhawkers were also a thing during the Civil War.
Another thing all those classes have in common is their names are one word. So Green Knight wouldn't work, but it might make a nice archetype name. Neither would Arcane Knight. You might have to make up something, like they did with the Bloodrager.

And I'm open to suggestions, all names on the poll were given to me by friends or people from the forums.
Also, a trick a lot of writers use is to repeat the writing style of other authors so they can develop their own writing style and polish themselves. That's what I repeat what other successful publishers have done.
I have no problem whatsoever making a new poll, but I need actual example of names.

That was lazy ass work in my opinion. I'd have named that class something like Ravager instead of a compound word.

But you are not doing that. You are taking Paladin as a historical reference instead of the new meaning the word has. That would be like thinking that the Occult Adventures Mesmer is named after Frank Anton Mesmer, the hypnotist that made the term mesmerize popular, instead of the meaning "mesmerize" as a word obtained in English language.
