Knifemurders.  That's all.

[mgrinshpon]

Current fort is Sil Minbaz, otherwise known as Knifevisions. The group name is called "The Immortal Hammer."

My investor friend said diversifying was good, though.

[Frelock]

I once had a fortress called "Glazedcactus."  It was, fittingly, in a desert, and a high master cook came in the first migrant wave.  I was very disappointed when I realized I couldn't mod in cactus to be edible without re-genning the world.

[Excedion]

My current fort that had a random name gen was Satineth aka Strokecity

[Lord Allagon]

I had a group called "The Foolish League". It was adequate, though, because on the first year my humans (Modded game) died of starvation since I had forgot to start a farm..
EDIT: And now I remember also "Idlathaguk", The Angelic League, a human civ. Funny enough, they worship a demon..

[Komra]

Mamgozitdun Ekurontak imketh. First of all, the dwarven sounds awesome by itself. It means 'Dragoncharmed the Mighty Arm of Justice. O YEAH. 

[Gyvon]

Had a civ named "The Sculpted Wall of Lovin".

[nitehawk]

Ragguards. Had two full squads, constantly sparring, which damaged their clothing pretty badly. You could say the guards were dressed in... rags 

Reached the population of 180, was very close to becoming the Mountainhome. Currently falling due to tantrum spiral. (Remember: LOSING IS FUN!)

[Ross Vernal]

Potsmokes and Holymountain the Profane.

The dwarves in the first one did nothing but party. Seriously, I'd set the dining room, wander away for a few minutes, and there's a party. Disassociate the table, wander away, come back, ANOTHER PARTY.

The dwarves in the second decided that a very narrow shelf a few squares wide right next to a 10 Z-level drop into the forest. Fortunately, the situation was corrected when a herd of unicorns came by and slaughtered that fortress.

I just got "craterpoints"... oxymorons are fun

[Lord Allagon]

Not a fortress, but a brook. "Grizzleshown the Sad Hell". Poor fishies.

[Tevish Szat]

Funny: The fortress of Frillyattic.  It was cleaned out by some goblins after a thermonuclear hissy-fit (Tantrum spiral that started with the deaths of some woodcutters/haulers/pet kittens that were stuck outside)

Imposing: The fortress of Ironbear (running).  It makes me wonder if the names are less than random, because about 1 in 6 engravings is of a named human being killed by an unnamed grizzly bear in some event or other.  I've started recording the engravings: there are at least 32 BATTLES represented by the bear engravings, most if not all with multiple humans meeting their ends at the hands of grizzlies.  Most of the bear engraving events don't have any other depictions, but at least one features human-on-elf violence as well as bear-on-human.  I'm dying to take a look at the legends screen and find out if it's really the elves behind the countless fatal maulings.  This and a spiteful mayor baroness countess (duchess?) with a love for aluminum may be encouraging me to break out of the safe-growth mold that's gotten me so far...

[S!F]

I've been compulsively abandoning forts like a sissy, mainly because I'm new and focusing on one big DF task at a time (armor/weapon smithing in one fortress, digging to a cavern layer in the next, making ragtag militia in the next fortress' cavern, using the magma sea to power my forges in the next) but now I think I'm finally ready to build a successful fortress from the ground up, to last for many years and many sieges.

I generate a map where I'm at war with the goblins. (The elves are nowhere to be found, I wonder who killed them?)

Undaunted, I find myself a piece of sand desert with flux and prepare to embark.

The RNG Gods seem to want me to succeed, as the fortress is named Duneswords and it is to be founded by The National Daggers. Glory to Armok!

Wanderscuffle.

Fluffy wamblers roam freely out there.

[acetech09]

Heh - right after posting that I decided to see what other funny names i can get with the random generator.

The first one it generated was 'Manorbs'.

I'm done.
