I'm going to name my new blade "Arbitrator" in honor of my union. Reason: I see it resolving many disputes in the near future. :) :) Appropriate huh?? Wonder if I should bring it to contract negotiations.... Hmmmmm. ;) It's the one in my avatar on the the left.

Right now I'm stuck between Zerstörer and Zorn Gottes

Wrath of God may have been too presumptuous for Medieval times, so I'm leaning towards Destroyer.

I don't know, if you had used your sword for judicial duels then the 'Wrath of God' would be most appropriate!  ;)

I've got one named thusly, albeit in Latin: Deus Irae

Well, with another change of mind, I decided to return to the original Sword Name I penned. 

 "Lion Blade"

I am more likely using a Spada de Zogho as that sword since I like the design.  However I am considering either a A&A Black Prince or Henry V.  I am also thinking of a King Edward III Sword.  ;)

Well if you should ever change your mind and name one of your swords may I suggest the latin name of:
Malleorum hircus
