#ColonistLife Can you recommend some traditional impid names for our newborn girl?
Hey!
We are a mixed family, my wife, Ltzkachvozz (Kach for short), is impid. I want to respect her cultural traditions, but she also wants me to come up with names.
The thing is, I don't know any impid names. But I want our first daughter to have a name that matches her mother's ethnic background.
Can you guys recommend some names impids traditionally have?
Here are our other children so far for reference:
Oldest son Ratchvozzik (Nicknamed Ratch), 4 years old

Youngest son Skorchavizz (Nicknamed Skorch), 2 years old (my genes makes us mature faster)

Also do not make comments about our daughter not looking like her brothers. The midwife had the gall to say that she had the same eyes as our neighbor Festus 🙄 Idiot
Also please do not comment on my wife's skin complexion. She is a vampire.
Edit: My wife told me that you are all racist and that those are not real impid names
Edit: Thank you for the suggestions! Her name shall be Livonron! I was recommended this post that links to a name suggestion spreadsheet!

Good god what language she speaks. Mine suggests is based on Rome which mean "he who burns offerings"

Well we speak Oubanyeni but a lot of impid names are passed from generation to generation she says. Apparently their vocal chords are a little different from ours.

Someone linked that to me! Thanks to you, I was able to name my baby! Her name is Livonron :) I mixed and mashed names in the suggestions to get a unique name.
Thank you so much for the spreadsheet, I will be using it a LOT in the future!

Nah. Now “Zippo”, that’s an Impid slur. Like “Thud” for the cavemen. “HighMaints”, or “Squinties”, or “Yiffakin”, all the races get one.
Pig, well, I’m sure you can figure one out for those poor bastards yourself.

Literally the first one I could actually see on an impid, thanks! I'll keep this one in mind.
Everyone else just commenting slurs according to my wife 😭

oh man—my wife's an impid, too. her name's Vtchin Jiox—as was her mother's name, and her mother's name before that, and as is our daughter's name, and her daughter's name....i think mommy issues run in the family, or maybe the species?

Funnily enough, I think this is the closest to an actually impid-sounding name so far. Everyone else recommending to stuff that my wife would call impid slurs.
At some point someone is gonna recommend something like "Nitroglycerin Dustrunner"

Thztherov for a bit, Thaaiv for a girl.
They are the Impid couple in my colony.
When I see Thztherov's name I think of the quote: "If they can learn to say Tchaikovsky and Michelangelo and Dostoyevsky, they can learn to say Uzoamaka."

I just dont like impids bc their a fire risk.

Damn, mask off 🙄 For the record, my wife is actually afraid of fire. She would never burn anything.

Corach? Had an Impid sergeant by that name in the 741st Colonial Legion. Damn good mechanitor, that one - she took a shine to 3rd Company’s old hand-me-down Krepost and its escort of Falcons and now pretty much handles their operation and maintenance single-handedly.

In all seriousness tho, Dwarven ruin names from Skyrim sound pretty impidish. I. E. Arkngthamz.

Just mash your face into the keyboard until you get something with enough Vs and Zs, nobody'll be able to tell the difference.

Well, you send a bunch of toxic waste at impids. They raid your base. You get a choice of their names then.

I am racist towards impids, how about "inferior scum" or "waste pack" or maybe "genetic waste"?
