Raiders, the crazies....so stuck---edited

[MalloryHartevelt]

So i'm in the middle of writing a novel and i've become stuck, I need a name for the "bad guys" and they are a gang. Think along the lines of raiders or something like that.


Also, how awful is the name of that new movie "The Crazies", I know I am stuck with names but come on they must have had months to think of a good title.

 

[Frequen-Z]

The Crazies is a remake of a 70's flick, probably wouldn't work as well to change the name.

Tell us a bit about your novel and I'll try think about what fits.

Yep, we need details.

What exactly do they do?
How many members are there?
Etc, etc.

 

[Lord Mountbatten Reborn]

Depends what the gang is like. Stupid leader, intelligent leader? Sophisticated, or merely thugs? The name has to fit after all.

 

[Weaver]

The Decepticons!

 

[Hattman]

The Rubber bats. Based on the desription of them that seems approrite.

 

[Nickolai77]

Hmmm, think of "something" then Gang. If you have a name for the leader of the gang, name it after him, or if they are a gang related to a specific location, name it after that.

[MalloryHartevelt]

What is the setting?
Are they the main evil guys, or just some sidekicks?

I NEED MORE INFO, WOMAN!

[sub]Wow, you actually are a girl...
Then that joke is a bit sexist, innit?[/sub]

well three states were bombed with the hyrax, and the main dudes are passing through one of them and they are the evil guys there.

Bad Dudes, are you a bad enough dude to save the President?

Well, seeing the extra information now...
How about...
The HäschenDorf? Sounds kinda evil...
Ok, ok, that roughly translates as something to do with 'Bunny Village'...
I'll edit in another option... Brain is now working to acquire a name...
Ok... Kadok? I dunno... still thinking...

well three states were bombed with the hyrax, and the main dudes are passing through one of them and they are the evil guys there.

Is the city totally bombed?
Is it like Fallout, or like just a bit of street sign hanging there and there?

The hyrax was just a virus dropped on three states, it wasnt like fallout. It just killed a lot of people because it rotted away their brain fully. (Hyrax is an advanced form of mad cow diesease) the survivors are people who were resistant enough to survive but mad their neck weak and it mad them kind of insane

 

[Actual]

The Furies, The Boppers, The Hi-Hats, The Lizzies, The Turnbull AC's, The Gramercy Riffs or The Warriors.

EDIT for more serious ideas: Survivors, Immune, Plague-ridden, New World Order.

Well they don't sound like they'd be that smart if they just survived a brain-rotting virothon, so something with deliberate mis-spelling or a "Z" instead of an "S" to show they aren't upper-end baddies but still dangerous in the idiotic way.

Which means kick the Latin some have supplied out. Yes it sounds fancy, but it's incredibly out of context.
