Hey everyone, just as the title implies I'm totally stumped on naming my vigilante persona for an upcoming Council of Thieves game. The DM is allowing a house-ruled version of the youth rules so I can play a child vigilante, and he's gearing toward being a Chakram thrower.
I'm thinking of a kid similar to Damien Wayne; highly skilled, arrogant and more than a little cruel, but ultimately wants to do the right thing. I'm totally stuck on the name though. :/
Maybe we can turn this into a thread for possible vigilante names?

The Green Harrow seems PF ready
Boaty McBoatface is a quite popular.
Given the age range, what about Negasonic Teenage Warhead?
Am I helping?

Kids tend to choose things that are over the top and a bit silly sounding to the adult ear.
What kind of theme is he going for? I could see a kid going by Bloodfist or Lifereaper. What would 10 year old you have gone for?
True, kids will go for something which they think sounds tough and dark but is just a bit lame like NightSlayer or DarkShadow.
However, then you end up with a name that needs a level of detachment to appreciate, plus it sounds silly so maybe not. All superhero names are pretty silly anyway so maybe it doesn't matter.
Doktor Pandemonium

Or just "Flappy-Cloth" for short.

Shadowdeath is always a good one. Or Anguishtorment Bloodrose III.
Is this for a supers type game... Because PF characters don't use super hero handles. And gang handles are usually a very different breed. Something short and to the point: "Blades", "4eyes", "Shadow", "Tiny", "Bats", stuff like that.

If you're going for something "classic", (colour) (thing) is a great standby.
So, in the tradition of Gray Mouser, Scarlet Pimpernel, Green Arrow, etc.
The Crimson Cloak
The Jade Spider
The Ebony Silence
The Blue Dragon
And so on.
I quite like the suggestion of the Green Harrow, above.

A chakram thrower? Nice!
Circle Jerk?
Halo. (In reference to the chakram).
You can modify it with adjectives, if his favorite chakram has some quality like being painted red (Scarlet Halo) or gets an enchantment added to it (Flaming Halo).

Well, if you can't have Robin how about another well known member of the Avian family?
The Dark Chaffinch
Night Warbler
The Crimson Tit
The Burgundy Wren
The Ebony Swallow
Is that too many?

I am the terror that flaps in the night!
I would imagine most people would assume his Vigilante identity is a Halfling.
Pharasma's Envoy (eventually known as simply "the Envoy")
Daemon of the Waning Moon (or Daemon Wane for short)

Day Man!
Dayman (ah-ah-ah) Fighter of the Nightman (ah-ah-ah) Champion of the Sun! (ah-ah-ah) You're a Master of Karate And Friendship For Everyone
Think about details from his background. What made him become a vigilante? Is he seeking vengeance? Does he just think it's fun? Has he grown up comfortable, safe, loved, and happy, or was his earlier childhood more cruel?
Does he have a role model, whether it's a regular NPC he admires or another vigilante?
There is also a wealth of options in the monsters of Golarion, such as The Cloaker, The ____ (Red, Black, Shadow, Demon, etc.) Dragon, Darkmantle, assuming you are angling toward a dark, shadowy name.
Alternatively, Arrowhawk (not sure if there are arrowhawks on Golarion, but it's cool,) Hell Hound, The Tarrasque, The Wyvern.

Crescent Knight as Chakram usually have moon symbols on them when I view them.

Don't have a name for your vigilante half. Let the GM cone up with it via npcs and the news/rumors. That's how the comics always do it lol

I went with Doom Girl. Nice, simple, easy to remember.
And for my social identity?
A frumpy woman shuffles in a coat and says in a nasal voice: "Hi, I'm Doris from Accounting! Last week, I was doing inventory on CLW wands in the Grand Lodge. This week, I'm auditing field ops in a monster-infested ruin. Are you a real field operative? Can I get your autograph?"
I once played an elven 'vigilante' (he was a fighter/rogue in 3.5) who introduced himself as "The Hyacinth. The Honeysuckle. The Poinsettia...The Roving Rhododendron!"
