robot name

[gizmo]

some great names there thanks and I think Hempiterror will suit me but they were all great names

Except I've just noticed I've spelt it wrong.

It should be Hemipterror.

Still even the misspelled name sounds cool, so your choice either way.

Even though Hemipterror would be the correct spelling, Hempiterror is easier to say. Basically because it flows better, whereas when saying Hemipterror, you almost have to take a pause between the 'p' and the 't'; there's an awkwardness about it.

Suppose it depends on how accurate you want to be, but nobody will really pick up on the mis-spelled version. I called one of my robots Carcinus as it was Greek for crab (and the robot looked like a crab) but whenever anyone hears the name for the first time, they just look at me blankly for a moment, then ask why I didn't just call it 'Crab'. So a different spelling probably won't matter much

I like Carcinus as a name :P but then I called my antweight almost-but-not-quite-a-Carcinus-clone 'Arcus' and now people seem to delight in referring to it in the same vein as a chain of catalogue stores...

No Hemipterror or hempiterror I can find. Are you thinking of Terrorpin? I always liked that one.
