Way back when Sonic and the Black Knight was released I like many did some fan art related to the game, in my case I drew one of my fan characters Rej the Reject as one of the Knights of the Round Table, specifically Sir Dinadan since his personality was close to Rej's (Funny and brave). At the same time I designed a Sacred Sword for him that had moving parts that changed the size of the blade and at the time I just called the sword Calatech. Recently this year though I got inspired to pick up the design again and make a Flash animation out of it (First time doing a Flash animation actually) Posted Image Flash Animation: http://arkus0.deviantart.com/art/Sir-Dinad...y%3Aarkus0&qo=1 And it got me seriously rethinking the name choice since it sounded too much like Caliburn or Excalibur. So I want to rename the sword but I don't know what to. I've tried searching for other Arthurian Sword names online (Even for any clue as to what the real Sir Dinadan's weapons were called) but I'm having no luck as either the names I find are for swords unrelated to Arthurian legend or belonged to other Knights of the Round Table. So I am asking for help from anyone who would know much more on the subject of swords than I do. I want the name to preferably be an actual weapon that belonged to Dinadan, or another Arthurian/Mythical sword, or a name that has some meaning that would fit this kind of sword. If any of you can think of a fitting name please don't hesitate to suggest, I'm willing to hear it. |

For pretty oiblivious reasons, I guess, after first look without reading I got feeling about that sword was made on the base of main part of Cloud Strife's Fusion Sword. At that reason, I took Google Translate(what just I did) and tried to experiment with names. So as the variant, why don't call this sword Synchonefsi Sword(synchó̱nef̱si̱ is "fusion" on greek, as GT says)? Sounds not so bad in my opinion, contains the meaning of the thing and not sounds like Fusion Sword at all, while even been pretty close to it. |

Well, since it's a shape-shifting sword, if the "blueprints" are anything to go by, I'd give it a name that reflects that ability. Call it Leshy or Selkie or Púca or Encantado or Aswang, some sort of creature that cn change forms. |

That was a good guess as to what inspired the design. It was Cloud's sword from Advent Children that inspired some of the look, but while that sword was multiple swords in one, this is just one sword that transforms to change its size.
I did consider Puca as a name as well as other Changling creatures from folklore so thats on the table. |

Maybe it's because I've been watching Fist of the North Star, but I would call it: "Sword of Seven Blades! Enemies look upon it and die!" or "Great Justice Strike! Seven men die every second!" or Barry. |

Pretty much right. I translated "fusion" on russian and now I understand that works not so well, even with the point it sounds not so bad. I got actually also another variant while checking "Fusion". Another one is Engine sword, which can sound like Kinitiras Sword(kini̱tí̱ras on the, again, greek, is "engine"). At first I didn't liked how it sounds, but this still can work. And yeah, take is as one of the things - if you want to name something and put some meaning in it, you need to use any close variant. Crowely gaved you one variation of the idea - give it a name of the creature that can change it's form. My variation - use different languages, and old ones works mostly best, like greek, chinese, japanese. |

Yeah I'm considering going that route, but when it comes to languages I want to stick to the ones from Arthurian Legend or British. I'm leaning towards certain Welsh names I'm considering such as those for Changeling or some welsh translation for a fitting description of the sword, so I'm getting closer to a decision. |

Okay I've finally settled on a name for my sword. Before I say it I want to thank everyone who posted suggestions and went out of their way to do some research. Even though my final choice wasn't one of the ones suggested, your posts did help point me down the path to finding it. The name for the Sacred Sword of Sir Dinadan is "Newid Ymyl", it is the Welsh translation of Changeling Edge, or more accurately Changing Edge, whichever one is more suitable. |
