alien names in Halo
Why are they all based on Greek mythology? When the Didact was naming his army, why did he use something from Human fiction? Also, why are they all in english? Why would the Forerunners call The Flood The Flood? Why not dbaoimbmabm or some crazy alien thing? It should have been like the human that named them the flood that shouldn't have been their name before. Halo is SciFi that means it should make sense with science and the names in Halo make no sense unless you can explain.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Oblivioh what do you mean? and how does this explain things like covenant stuff being in english, like the Brutes names and stuff, or the "needler" or "spiker". Do they call it something different?[/quote]Well things like "Elite", "Brute", "Grunt", "Spiker", "Needler", etc are names HUMANS have given them. That's not they actually mean in the Covenant language(s). So Sangheili doesn't mean "Elite" in their language. It probably means something along the lines of "A person from Sanghelios", much like how "Canadian" is used to distinguish someone from Canada.
