So the naming in this game is incredible and it only gets better with the addition I nicknames. I'm just curious what is your favorite solider name (and nickname) that were absolutely random?
A few I mine were Bob "Prophet" Bailey. Just had a nice ring to it. Sadly he perished in the alien bad, R.I.P Major Bailey.
Yoko miyamoto- well that's self explanatory, sadly he didn't survive long
Hiraro Kojima- again self explanatory an again did not survive long. Ill keep updating as I play but those are a few standouts.
I'm obligated to say I'm on my phone so I apologize for any mis spellings.

Best random soldier name
My favorite was an Irish heavy with a flat top named Casey "Casino" Duff.Did he have a rad beard? It just sounds liked he'd have one
My all-star psychic sniper was a Chinese dude named Chen "Emo" Cheng. Emo Cheng has seen some serious shit.
And I had an assault whose first name I forget, because to me she will always be "Double Down" Jenkins.
Vinny is right, the nicknames are one of the best parts of the whole game.
@muscleriderJust a sweet horseshoe mustache. He made it through 30-40 missions because after I got him I used him for every mission until the end of the game.My favorite was an Irish heavy with a flat top named Casey "Casino" Duff.Did he have a rad beard? It just sounds liked he'd have one
Dwayne 'Zero' Kelso, my sniper who's made some game saving shots, the kind of overwatch / low % chance shots that save a real bad situation.
Every time my sniper Naima "Witchy" Aziz kills someone I can't help but to say, "that bitch just got witched."
Pulled a "Shawn White" as my first support, so I QUICKLY gave him the flat top, orange/red hair, and red armor.You did the right thing there
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAlf "Rape Dungeon" Stewart
Oh man, love Alf.
Anyway, my best was Major Lars 'Wolverine' Milsen (iffy on his surname), who was my superstar soldier who died in true heroic fashion, leading a group of chrysallids and Mutons away from my battered forces during the first base assault and rapid firing a bunch of those motherfuckers to death before they finally tore him apart.
We poured one out for him back at HQ, and poured another out for his sick blonde handlebar
I believe it was a pre order bonus on pc. I think the option is calle "armor detail"@Sackmanjones said:

I have a randomly rolled British dude named "Thomas Thomas" right now. If he lives to get a nickname, hopefully it'll start with a T and end with an S.
I saw this thread and went "I cant think of any." While for the last four days I have had an assault dude rolling with me with a name I keep going "That is a familiar name." Once I realized who it was I decided to put him in the worst situations to die.....except the kept surviving....WHY WONT HE DIE!
WHY WONT JACK "DUKE" THOMPSON DIE!!
I have Jeff "Tank" Davis rolling with me.
and I had a Nat Jackson. It just sorta sounds awesome. NAT JACKSON!
I've got a Jorge Garcia. He has no nickname yet.
Also have a heavy with the nickname "Papa Bear." Arthur "Papa Bear" Hayes, to be exact.
After looking at the names file, it does appear that most of these "whomg totally a reference" are indeed random.
For example, "Hideo" and "Kojima" are not linked in any way. They both EXIST, certainly, but you have a 1/21 chance of drawing "Hideo" and a 1/44 chance of getting "Kojima".
"Septic" and he is my support medic, I can't remember his real name though. I have to laugh every time a guy named Septic heals someone.
Sarah "Crash" Burns.
Also my only asian soldier got the nickname Zulu and that reminded me of Star Trek.
