Wait wait, let me get this straight, OP uses a name that may be interpreted as something sexist and demeaning toward females, but cries about the name Naga being mistaken for a racist slur?

You are so full of yourself. GTFO

ha! Petition OP's name as inappropriate, and see how he likes naming conventions now!

Fair game that it's a something you could double take over if you heard it on vent, but I really don't think its close enough to warrant the name needing to be changed,.

The OP is a hypocrite. His name adds one single letter to a term that is used offensively towards females, and yet complains because the new Caldari BC is a several letter different from a name that *might be* offensive to blacks.

Besides, its Naga, not Nager. It doesnt even sound like the word that is actually offensive, it just sounds like the term that blacks have used to reappropriate oppressive language.

i am a african american... how can i be racist against my own people... i want ccp to change to name to take away from racits...

or are you a moron?


Persecution complex?


Yeah, similar to the time when someone complained that there were no African- American names of Hurricanes. It's not racist, not naming Hurricanes Shalonda or Tyrondell or whatever, it's just not freekin moronic.

If you look for something hard enough and long enough, sure as sh*t, you will begin to see it everywhere. Ufo's, El Chupicabra, Bigfoot, whatever.

I consider MY own people to be Americans btw, even you, but it's clear you take a different view. Oh and I dig Herman Cain and will vote for him, so don't go there.

I was more concerned that they stole the name of a ****** Battlemech, but your point is good.


There are very few nouns that, by the end of the franchise, didn't end up as names for Battlemechs.

The first a in Nāga is long and open similar to Afterburner.

I really don't see how this can be confused - millions of WoW and SC/SC2 players manage to do it right just fine, never heard a caster talk of Xel'Nagga or Xel'***** watchtowers.

it sounds way to close to the "N" word...

Specially with all the ESL people out there....

Imagine hearing on ts2 ok i just got ganked by 3 naga's.... or omg 50 naga's just undocked...

I know the mythos behind the name is cool and all but i am afraid most people will get the naga mixed up with this


I don't even...
How does naga even sound close to ni**** ? This complaint is almost as silly as the "omg i have gotten free aurum, get it off me!"
