He is a freaking pirate so.... Davey Jones Jr.

Or Squid Beard, Rogue Wave, Blue Beard II, Sextus Pempeius (actual pirate from Rome), Barbarossa, Peter Love (another actual pirate name), Black Ceasar, Calico Jack... yeah i like Calico Jack. 

No offence but those all suck.

Hydroid is so.... bleh.

Here are some water deities:
Olokun

Haik

Njord

Marduk

Enki

Ryujin

Proteus

Aegaeon

A deity name would be appropriate as he is "Tenno".

Here are some I coined from japanese:
"Mizushin" (Mizu = japanese for water. Shin = death)

"Shinkai" = "deep sea"

"Kuromi" = "black ocean"

"Abisu" = "abyss"

"Obore" (short for Obore shinu, meaning "drown")

These are some proposals.
ANYTHING, but Hydroid. Please...

Drawing into the previous proposals, I like:

Triton

Abyss

Nereus

 

I do not flatly dislike Hydroid, but it makes me think of "droid", and I can't help translating into "aquatic robot"... This is... disturbing >_<

What i've seen from his abilities and design has nothing of "mechanical", to me at least.

I could have seen Hydroid for a sentinel, in a pinch, but not a warframe.

Whatever, I'm not for a scandal around this.
Thanks for the work and share, DE.

To those thinking about how "Hydroid's" name should be Pirate-like,

 

Take Oberon "The Paladin" for example.

He turned out to be a Guru/Druid. Not much of a Paladin as DE suggested.

 

I think Hydroid will be just a flat-out Waterframe with MAYBE A HINT of Pirate theme in him, maybe due to his Tricorn alternate hat?

 

Thus, I suggest we strictly stick to Water analogies and naming conventions.

(Oh, his first skill is also supposedly a water cannonball, yeh).

 

Thus, Leviathan? In regards to his tentacle mouths? :3

Leviathan is the best choice.

 

like the name but sounds like a tank type and he seems more like utility 

 

Riptide.

 

like this one.

 

Hydroid? lol... why not Waterius or Aquarion?... :P

 

would take Aquarion over Aquarius any day sounds less generic.

 

and Nereus isnt so bad.

Yeah, personally I don't like the name Hydroid.  It's not even because I want the name to be Dagon or Poseidon or whatever, it just doesn't sound quite right, like if Ember was called Emberius or Frost was Frostron, or Volt was Voltax.  If it was just something like Hydros it would sound perfectly fine.

Like the title says, Hydroid is a terrible name and needs something way better.

 

My vote is

 

Riptide.

 

What's yours?

Your suggestion is actually worse than Hydroid. The name is fine honestly. Personally I will just refer to him in my own head as Kunkka, or possibly TENTACLOID THE HENTAI WARFRAME

I know, HYDROS. Much better, and sounds tennoish while still making him obviously water based

hm, that's quite good.i Hydros it should be.

 

Hydros.

Hydros.

 

Hydroid makes it sound like the frame is an Android.

Hydroid, yeah, sounds like he's just a robot. If you're going to name him based off his element (ala Volt, Ember, Zephyr, Frost and Sayrn) it should be more direct. Hydra or Aquarius or Hydros, Torrent, Tide, etc

If not, something broader. Nautilus or Bismark or other ship/submarine names could be interesting, or a gods name (like Damon, which captures the dread of the cthulu traits of the design).

But right now Hydroid just feels really weird and out of place.
