So.. I figured it was time to get rid of these temporary names.

And for that I need a suffix.

For example, the way it's presented in the store is

"Frost Grost".

I am looking to replace all these GR/GRI with something that's appropiate for the style. And saving the headache of naming all of them.

An example (bad one) would be:

"Frost Skoom"

that would then make the volt:

"Volt Skoom"

If anyone have any good insight on something that sounds grineerish and isn't specific to one frame I would appreciate it a lot.
You could go with "Deserter" or "Desertion" aka "Frost Desertion" or maybe "Imposter". But if you are going for more of a Grineer sounding name it could be some of these:

"Warfram" (war-fr-ah-m) which is the way the Grineer say "Warframe"

"Longanni" which is how the Grineer say "Company"

"Jkhun" is how they say "Join"

"Feer" is how they say "Help"

Personaly I like Frost Feer, Nova Feer, Volt Feer because in Grineer it says "Help" which could be the lore reason why Warframe's are dressed like grineer but to us it sounds like "Fear" which is what your skins invoke. Awesome skins by the way, would Love to see one for Chroma.

Ooh, X Feer sounds excellent.

from reddit:

""Vuul'ten" was what I finally settled on after sitting in my room making Grineer-sounding noises for a good few minutes. Sounds reasonably Grineer, almost has the word "tenno" in it, and rolls off the tongue alongside frame names reasonably well."
Faven  [developer] 10 Jun, 2016 @ 4:13am 
hmm.. how about "fallen"..to edgy?
"Frost Fallen"? Makes me wish DE would let you put it the other way around "Fallen Frost", now that sounds badass, damn you DE haha jk

hmm. or maybe something on G..Kinda feeling the "G-unit" ;)

Frost G-unit, doesn's exacltly sound Grineer, but it does have a nice ring to it, Frost G-unit, Nova G-unit, Volt G-unit. It would make it easier for people that don't look at the workshop to recognize that your skins a part of a collection and not just random skins. I doubt most people wouldn't know how to pronounce a Grineer sounding name anyway :) but then again, not very many people would care if they could say it with how cool the skins are.

I know that the elite forces were known as the Nightwatch Corps, so I suppose the Tenno could have some sort of exception as well.

Meanwhile, a really meta idea I just got: The Tenno are known by the Corpus as 'The Betrayers', since they killed off the Orokin out of nowhere, and the Grineer and Tenno hate each other's guts like nobody's business.
So on that hand, if a Tenno were to 'join' the Grineer by using their weapons and 'wearing their frames/armor' [AKA using the G-Unit skins and Harkonar armor], then that would technically make the G-Unit Tenno 'betrayer of the Betrayers', which makes the whole ordeal really ironic.

TL;DR Perhaps we could go with whatever Grineer use for 'betrayer' or 'betrayal'?

Yeah but saying G-Unit before the name of the warframe does kinda work

A warframe's name comes before the skin name Faven doesn't get to decide that, DE does. So if Faven left the skins named they way they are they will show up as "Frost Grost" no matter what. AKA Faven can't name it "Grost Frost" because the skin names go "Warframe Skin" not the other way around. Hence why I said I wish DE would let Faven change that and call them "Fallen Frost" but if Faven did decide to name the skins "Fallen" they would show up as "Frost Fallen".

TL;DR The Skin name always comes second, Faven can't change that, if Faven picks "G-unit" the skins would be "Frost G-unit" no matter what. (obviously the warframe name would change to the proper frame ie "Nova G-unit")
