Yes, we all know that people want a 5* Spur and there are quite a few ideas out there regarding it. I do not use a Spur and for the time being I do not plan to. As such, I don't really care about a 5* Spur. This is not a thread about my ideas for a new Spur, because I don't care about how it would work (disclaimer: I do care if it breaks the game, and I may care in the future if I decide to start using a Spur). Along with these 5* Spur ideas have come a plethora of names for it. This is something that I do care about, as names can mean a lot. The saying "don't judge a book by its cover" is relevant because people generally do judge things by their outward appearance. Some names could completely ruin the feel of the game (bad example: Bestswordever).
TL;DR: Post your ideas for 5* Spur names and provide reasoning for why it makes sense. If your idea has been mentioned, simply say something along the lines of "I like [name goes here]! [optional reasoning here]"
I'll do my best to keep track of ideas, votes, and reasoning. Only votes that are posted in this thread will be counted. If your idea was taken from someone else and you are aware of this, please credit the original author. If you want to include some kind of concept art that helps your name make more sense, please do so - only if it helps the name make sense.
==> The List So Far <==
Reasoning:
The feature focus of the Spur line is the fact that its swords have some kind of motor thing that lets it shoot bolts of energy. The way I see it, the current names for Spur weapons are centered on motion. "Spur" is a word that literally means to stimulate or encourage. It also refers to those pointy things on cowboy boots that poke horses to make them go faster (see Nameless, Justifier, and Shadowsun). "Arc" is a word that means to move in a curved path, like the energy that comes from Spur swords. "Winmillion" as far as I can tell is derived from the word "windmill". "Whirl Engine" refers to the whirling motion of the energy bolts and the motor that creates those bolts.
