I feel fengarou is a lot more appropriate for a wolf frame, yk FENGarou

garou also just straight up means wolf/werewolf in french. And it means starve/hungry in japanese which is spot on thematically.

Lycath... There's some boring people out there who in the design council came up with that.

[(XBOX)RavenMyste]

Sounds better than the others

Where is this info coming from? I've been trying to figure out why Voruna is a choice in the first place and all I can find is a random Hindu diety that has nothing to do with wolves. Even searching "voruna" or "Slavic wolf goddess" or any other combination will not bring anything for this supposed battle goddess. In fact all I can find in relation to a Slavic wolf diety is a god named Dazbog. Baltic is Medeina, which is way better than any options listed here anyway, but it's not Voruna.

It's Eastern European so it doesn't translate nicely into English. Try "Zvoruna" or Medeina.

As cool as that sounds, everyone hating on Lycan for being on the nose wouldn't think very differently.

More importantly, Kereboros means "spot" in Greek. Like the dog name "Spot", yes.

no Capitoline... pain. Also glad that there's no Fenrir as an option.
Team Voruna then

Raksha roughly means guardian or to protect which doesn't make much sense for a wolf based frame

it is also the name of the female wolf that raise Mowgly in the Jungle Book.

[IDzer0]

Too bad "Fenri" didn't make it to the poll 🙁

[Piezepan]

Hope people don't forget voruna has a "z" sound when that name wins

Looked up the Design Council thread. Here's what @Orabell, submitter of the name, posted:

Quote

Zvoruna (Žvorūna)

From Lithuanian mythology, synonymus to Medeina a forest and hunt deity also compared to Artemis and Diana. (But Her duty is not to help the hunters, but to protect the forest.)

Zvoruna is depicted as a young woman and she-wolf with an escort of wolves.

I choose  Zvoruna and not Medeina as Žvorūna is derived from žvėris meaning "beast".

She doesn't look werewolf in the slightest, has NO ONE at DE ever watched the Hugh Jackman Van Helsing?

That was one of my favourite films as a kid but honestly I'm going to go with probably not or if they did it wasn't anyone on the art team. As far as straight up werewolf goes at least, she honestly gives more of a primordial monster/shape shifter look then a werewolf. 

[Bento_Tentacle]

Disa Nuts is the only way

[rymus]

I think that Romula would be a good name, it is a feminine of Romulus, one of the children cared for by the she-wolf

[Venskryl]

That "Voruna" name sounding pretty good imo. Definitely seeing it fit well for the actual name of the frame, like "yeah I'm playing the new frame Voruna". godbless

[Draconis_Exterminatus]

Wolfmother!

[(PSN)Geisthander]

Please, just anything but Lycath.

[(PSN)Geisthander]

Very sad no Wolfy McWolfface option.

[(PSN)WolfSaints94]

Keep in mind y’all we don’t have any frames in game with a name that starts with D,J,Q or U no I’m not counting umbra for U cause is it’s just another Excal

"We need more D in Warframe..."

I think Scott said that.

Voruna (Žvorūna) the votes are 24.6%

I don't know if its too late or not, but IMO the name should be "Lycantra"
 

"Lycath" sounds generic and without the H at the end is just "Lycat" (Were-cat?).
 

"Lycantra" on the other hand sounds more aggressive and feminine, and the word "Lycan" is one of the most popular words for Werewolves since its the closest to the original lore of the King Lycaon of Arcadia who was cursed by Zeus to become a wolf-like beast who eats Human flesh.
 

Its also sad that one of the most popular names requested by the Community: "Amarok" is not even in the options. I liked that one too.
 

I guess this is Xaku all over again, DE asks the Community for ideas and then completely ignores them.

[(PSN)VoidVox_]

Personally like Ulfra the best. Short, simple, easy to say, plus our first Warframe starting with "U." Similarly, Ylva would be good.

I would accept Voruna though too.

Lycath is lazy, uninspired, and just doesn't sound good. It sounds more masculine to me. It absolutely should not win.

I know raksha is a name close to a diety of violence/war and lycath is just short for lycanthrope, dont know about the rest

Edit: Also Ylva and Ulfra sound nordic so that might be close to fenrir in origin, wish we had a name like ragna for ragnarok

Ylva means she-wolf apparently 

[(PSN)FanOfSecrets]

Dynara since there’s not a single D frame

[HuckebeinMK3]

Google translate Žvorūna and found it to be Lithuania for the goddess of hunting and beasts, so not bad for Team Voruna. Raksha being Mother Wolf from the Jungle Book and Ylva being a literal female wolf, also Lycath just seems kinda lazy.

[(XBOX)Skippy575]

I think it's time to inject new blood into the Tenno Council. These names aren't that great.
