Cavaliers? - Means a variety of things including, a "knight, mounted soldier," "a person with the spirit of a knight," and as far as adjectives go, "disdainfully proud." Would be a definite distinction for infantry such as ourselves but I also believe it rolls off the tongue quite well, especially when speaking of Capsuleers as well.
Cadavers? Kinda morbid but fitting in the EVE Universe. We don't have much of a good reputation anyway so it could probably fit. I also think it's ironic since you'll NEVER find a dead mercenary due to the mechanism that turns us into dust upon death and the fact that dying is pretty much a part of the job.
Edit: We're also pretty dead on the "inside" so it kinda works well with that.
DOUBLE EDIT:
If not those, what about Minute Men? I'm not sure if it's licensed or not but I do know it would suit is pretty well. It takes Dust mercenaries less than a minute to get fitted and drop down on a battlefield.

Bumping my idea. Don't know if it's in the right direction or not, so I want feedback. We need a name and I'm definitely up for assisting in making one.

Iso (shorthand for Immortal Soldier)
Hostile Iso's have taken the communication relay we need that comm tower back to signal for reinforcements.
I like Iso. If we can't think of anything else, I'd be okay with that.
I do have some more ideas, and actually the first one is inspired by Iso's.
eMercs. Clean. Short. Simple. The "e" in eMercs stands for "Eternal" of course. It's a pretty neutral name if not completely sterile.

After looking at Interplanetary Insanitarium's post above me, I got an idea.
We should call Dust Mercenaries, Legionnaires.
It works perfectly, imo. Legion means, "a large group of armed men," "multitude," "military unit," and then some. Legionnaire, itself, means a member of a military force or association.
Being that each mercenary has a "legion" of clones at their disposal, it works well as a title.
It's also smooth in speech. Nothing too complicate in tongue or in making situations awkward.
"Capsuleers and Legionnaires of New Eden..."
Yeah it sounds damn good.

I like Necronauts.
Of course necro means death while naut means voyager, tripper, or essentially traveller.
Since what kills us literally makes us stronger, Necornauts is a good choice imo. It's not as smooth as Legionnaire or Capsuleer but it's pretty neutral and sterile as well.

Better yet. Deathnaut. Why not Deathnaut?
Edit: or Exnaut which is short for Existence Naut, which would mean like Existence Voyager/Adventurer. Fits well because one does go into the ins and outs of existence as a mercenary.
