Maybe if it were a money based frame. Instead of energy, you spend credits to cast abilities.

Lycath feels too on the nose to me. Voruna it is!

[(XBOX)GrandpaByra]

Moro or Kiba should be wolf name

Oh my.... those are all terrible choices 

Yeah. I want a "none of the above" option.

This is also the same game that has an earth based frame called Atlas (A Greek titan), a sword based frame called Excalibur (Magic sword from King Arthur), a blood based frame called Garuda (Hindu demigod), A gluttonous frame called Grendel (Man eating monster from an English legend), a fairy frame called Titania (Queen of fairies in medieval folklore), a nature-based frame called Oberon (Who is the husband of Titania), the list goes on. So no, Warframe actually does not seem to "prefer the opposite". In the beginning sure. But newer frames have had more nuanced names.

Atlas and Excalibur are definitely well known enough to still be in the "on the nose" category.

Titania and Oberon are from Shakespeare, which is pretty mainstream, and many people are familiar with Beowulf (origin of Grendel) as well. So hardly obscure there.

Garuda is a little more obscure than the others, but only in that it differs from what most people would know. I don't think you can really say anything that's been referenced in four main-line Final Fantasy games (and several spin-offs) is all that unknown.

Hey guys,we need a "D" start warframe.As the 4th letter in alphabet,having 50 waframes missed is kind of unfair.Depite "J","Q" and "U",which may not be used often in WARFRAME,I think D should get more attention.😀

I don't quite understand why some people are complaining that "Lycath" is too obvious or unoriginal.

This is the same game that has an ice frame named Frost, a fire frame named Ember, a wind frame named Zephyr, a magnetic frame named Mag... I could go on.
Not every name needs to be obscure and arcane. Warframe actually seems to prefer the opposite.

This sounds like a perfect opportunity to share my unsolicited opinion. So, here's why I disagree with you and why I hate Lycath, personally:

1) I wasn't asked to vote for the names of Frost, Ember, Volt, Mag, and similar. If I had, I definitely would have gone with more referential names. 
2) Those names are at the least very direct. They seem deliberately on the nose. Lycath sounds more like someone tried and failed to be clever.
3) I also just think it sounds terrible. I don't like the way it feels in my mouth to say.

I'd literally rather her be named "Werewolf" than "Lycath".

Can you just spell the name how it's pronounced instead. Because I don't think you guys are going to put the pronunciation next to the name every where it's displayed in the game so just do the sensible thing and write it how it's said.

[StylishSleet3]

Even if  those names one way or another are "wolf" related most of them are kinda lame, honestly I wanted to call her Luperca

[(XBOX)XfinityKing0]

My idea for a wolf warframe name Aurora

[Th3Magicbox]

Honestly, can I just vote/make a poll for moonmoon. I will pay for this Warframe to be named moonmoon

[RogueSyndiva]

no Fenrir, guess Voruna would have to do.

All of those are more obscure than you think, yeah people know of Shakespeare but they wouldn't be able to give detail on the contents and characters same with Beowulf.

Either way lycath is the same as if ember of frost were embrath and frozmon. It's a lazy way of trying to using Lykan without using it, at that point it would be better to just use lykan.  

[(PSN)Joseph_Kage]

I chose Ylva (She-Wolf or Female wolf) where as the others if looked up are either uses or made up with no meaning, my second choice would be Ulfra but it was already used by another game

[(XBOX)ConfusingEel30]

Can we get the last option to just be Shoba instead.

[(XBOX)ConfusingEel30]

Just like the title says, The Nashoba option should be changed to just Shoba.

[Manh.Hunq]

Ookaminash is what in my mind which inspired by Ookami - wolf in japanese but welp too bad that I can't put it for vote

[Vegren]

Congratz DE on not going with the generic "Luna"

[immpulse531]

The people who unironically voted for lycath worry me

[ShadowStarx1]

names is junk.

Fenrir.

 

[Slayer-.]

Otsana isn't there, I would have voted for that. 

Otsana is a rare and unique name that originated in the Basque region of Spain. The name alludes to the qualities of a wolf, especially the speed and vigor.

 

I'll vote for Dynara, sounds better than Lycath to me, wish we had the phonetic way they are said, saying it the wrong way sounds like I'm licking a lollipop. replace 'y' with 'i' and you get Licath. 🤣

[Melles64]

Raksha, like Rakshasa? That's really tigerish. Lyanth is also too on the nose. Žvorūna is apparently "beast," so I think I'll roll with that.

[(PSN)Coyote_Wyld]

Nashoba means wolf in the choctaw/chahta  language. So I have to pick it.

Yes

[BA_Wijaya]

Voruna sounds good but Ylva or Ulfra sounds better to me.
but a small number of players vote for it and choose a lame obvious name instead like Lycath.
really guys?
