I've decided to include a mercenary company made up entirely of women in my next campaign, but I'm struggling to come up for a name for them.
What would you call a woman-only mercenary band?
>>53036431
The Time of the Months.
They'll take your gold. Period.
The Fighting Cunts
>>53036431
Bitch Hounds
Screaming Banshees
>>53036431
Dude, I don't know. I think you might be overthinking this. Just call them "The Silver Scorpions" or something and move on.
>>53036431
Is the all-women thing an enforced rule or just happenstance? Former implies a name that proudly states that they're women, while the latter would just have a regular mercenary group name.
>>53036431
Red Flow
>>53036463
Heh.
>>53036454
HEH
>>53036431
The Ladykillers.
Cos they're all ladies wot kill you, see?

>>53036431
Morrigan's Murder.
The Lampedes.
(Leader's Name) Harridans.
Moonlight Riders.
Rooks of Hag's Reach.
White Stag Company.
Basically, Crows, Moon, Ravens, White deer/stags, and so on are all symbols of the war goddesses and gods/goddesses of women who take no shit from men.
Yeah, those were a thing.
>>53036431
>What would you call a woman-only mercenary band?
Fucked.
Probably in every sense of the word.
Something something Kali.

If it's for a ye old fantasy setting, you're basically honor bound to use the word bitch somewhere in the name.
>"Those hell bitches robbed us again!"
Mercenaries don't get to pick their own names. The world choses for them.
>>53036431
>What would you call a woman-only mercenary band?Hawt.
But on a non-lewd note, I'd go with something like
The Hellcats
The Blood Lillies
[Insert Captain's Name Here]'s Heroines
The Maneaters
The Warmaids
The Steel Daughters
The Wild Does
>>53036431
Lilies of the Valley
Beautiful and yet it kills the FUCK out of you
People who don't know they're named for a deadly poison will laugh and assume it means they're soft, and mercs love irony.
The cock goblins
>>53036431
Tiger Lily
We had a dark heresy slanesh lady cult called "the princes whores"
But I dunno, I would go with something cute like " the cats meow"
Or "the free queens" "the nameless dames"
>>53036431
The Night Witches. Or just name them what you would call any other company you sperg.
Pick a name based on what they do not what genitals they have.
>>53036431
If you forget the sexual reference The Lesbians would make a good name.
The isle of Lesbos was an isle populated ONLY by females, that's where the name came from.
Also in Anima Beyond fantasy they have a canonical mercenary group formed only by females called Selene.
A hentai plotline waiting to happen.

>The isle of Lesbos was an isle populated ONLY by females, that's where the name came from.
That's not at all true. Lesbos became famous for women because it was the home of the great poet Sappho, the only woman counted among the great nine lyric poets and sometimes called simply 'the Poetess'.

Sir. After I've checked I must apologize. Thanks for make it clear for me.
Never wrong again with this subject.
Alsooo. The poets as a name of those mercs?
The Femme Fatales

they have a gander neutral name but everyone calls them the bitch brigade/amazons/femme fatals and they get mad about it since "since our gender is irrelevant to our work as mercenary."

Bitch Hounds is a pretty punk rock name for them

I remember hearing about something like that in Syria that we're fighting against Isis. They said they liked to make sure the enemy knew they were woman so when they died they knew they wouldn't go to heaven.
>>53036431

The Bleeding Cunts.

Something about vixens or bitches.

A classic, might be a bit reference-y though
>>53036431
Needs more context to decide.
But since this is a bait thread, I already know that I'll have none.
So here's a dumb picture instead.
>>53036431
Rosebud
>>53036431
The Red Knights.
The Bloody Marys. Have them all named Mary in some form.
Graseens or sth like that.
>>53036431
The [Commander's Name Here] [Battlefield Role Here].
Or
[Unique City or Location of Origin] Irregulars.
They are Mercs so the name will either be by the commander of the company, or if they are like the Hessians by their location of origin followed by the company identifier. Like Irregulars, skirmishers, lancers, ect. Or a Company number.
>>53036431
The Sinister Sirens.
OP have you nailed-down any other details about them besides the whole 00% women thing? I dig it but knowing other things (preferred weaponry, preferred tactic for luring in victims, uniform, how do they go about their banditry, etc) would be useful.
Probably the same thing you'd name any other mercenary band, unless they're expressly calling attention to their gender. Which could work, I suppose - if there's a lot of competing mercenary companies, there's value in the novelty.
In that case, probably something tongue in cheek, like the Stray Cats or mocking, like the Mad Harpies.

Likely the best suggestion here.
Wish OP would tell us the area they operate though since that could be worked into a name.
The Harlot Knights of Havoc
