MLT LAV: Pariah
STD LAV: Mendicant
Scout LAV: Ascetic
Logistics LAV: Martyr

Theme for LAV's is societal outcasts or outliers. Could maybe use some touching up here.

]MLT HAV: Lokem (Warrior)
STD HAV: Sarak (Overseer)
ADV HAV: Batal (Champion)
PRO HAV: Malik (King)
Amarr Solo HAV STD/ADV/PRO (uses same names as normal tanks, with some secondary identifier to them?)
STD DHAV: Shofet (Judge)
STD UHAV: Magen (Protector)

Theme for HAV's is fairly generic 'We are better than you, and our indomitable will shall show it'. I like the untranslated names, but thematic cohesion / name selection is a bit sub-par when translated.

MLT DS: Wisp
STD DS: Djinn
Logistics DS: Anzu or Enlil
Assault DS: Ifreet

Phone edit: will update later.
Probably the hardest group to get strong thematic cohesion going. I really like Djinn, wisp is slightly less appropriate, ophan and seraph are completely incongruous with djinn & wisp. This section really needs work, if someone finds more suitable names for logi-ds and assault dropship, please post them.

Amarr MCC: Proclaimer
Amarr RDV: Herald
Amarr Warbarge: Testament

This took several hours to do, and I'm still not entirely happy with it, but I think its a great start, I'll try to get some sorted for other races in a bit.

Host/choir are synonymous for groups of angels. Malik predates its dirrative Malakhim. I see that you've done a boatload of work while I wasn't looking (sweet jesus you work fast), and I would like to put forth a few quibbles over language: When you look at Amarrian words and language structure you find stuff like sefrim and imud hubrau, both of which seem like mutated words from Hebrew. The signs of faith chronicle also shows written script that very much resembles Arabic, so if we step back a little further we can probably safely say that amarr language structure is primarily Abrahamic in its origin. They also have shown a lot of latin words mixed into their language (semper pax etc). Gallentean language has never been that solidly codified among the community, but there is a predominance of both greek and French language in it (had to look up a list of NPC's for this). They do love to steal some of their Sumerian names like Anshar, but most of it is either greek or roman. To that end I feel like Malik belongs far more firmly in the 'amarr' camp than it does in the 'gallente' camp. Hell in the scriptures there is even a person called "moloch the deceiver" which is an easy mutation of malik. I'm pushing more for linguistic accuracy at this point than proper relation to eve naming convention - we can prune out the less popular / less good ones when we have plenty to spare. Hell I could care less if you called Sarak, Batal and Malik their translated names of Overseer, Champion and King (though I would prefer the untranslated versions). Hnolai ki tuul, ti sei oni a tiu.

Have you considered using themes like "States of Enlightenment"/ "Religious States" in addition to your "Social Rank/Caste" themes? E.g- Arahant or Arhat refers to a state of being for "one who is worthy" which is the Hindu equivalent of Siddha "one who is accomplished. Or if you look into Jainism Arihant is the state before one becomes a Siddha (also apparently the same as arhat in Sanskrit which means "one who vanquishes enemies"). An Arihant is also sometimes called jina of "Conqueror" because they have over come the associated four internal conflicts. Ascetism is a part of the whole Janic (Janism) system of beliefs. Also Ahimsa refers to non-violence or the desire to do no harm. Dunno if that would appeal to your as a logisitics platform? *"He spoke, and we made it so all worlds were one, all peoples were one, all faiths, creeds, and nationalities were one.
