So uh typical 'swords and weapons' type things usually fall under matari naming scheme, though I could see the asiany influenced stuff going to the caldari (but eve already has stuff like state shuriken / tanto / katana / etc).
I think it would maybe be best to define an overarching theme / scheme and then name things based on that? Ie: Scouts = 'ewar' so each scout gets a name that fits it ie, amarr = diviner, caldari = hawk, etc, Where sentinels = defenders/strength oriented = so caldari = Oni, Gallente = Atlas, Minmatar = Jotunn, Amarr = Behemoth... or something like that.
Would you be looking to provide a name to each and every powercore (3 powercores + 1 apex / suit)? or just the individual suits (5 names per race)?

Rasetsu is a japanese buddhist interpretation of the rakshasha... which can also be known as an Asura. Rasetsu in particular embody negative emotions / aspects.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rakshasa
They were nigh-immortal, warlike 'man-eaters' that lived off violence, death and blood, and were near impossible to truly kill. They show up in buddhist literature. "the defeated antagonist of the Buddha, Mara also known as Namuci or the "Dark One" is described as a corrupted Asura whose army consisted of "Sensual passions, Discontent, Hunger and Thirst, Craving, Sloth and Drowsiness, Terror, Uncertainty, Hypocrisy and Stubbornness, Gains, Offerings, Fame and Status wrongly gained, and whoever would praise self and disparage others" (Sn 3.2 Padhana Sutta). The Asuras try to capture the devas and bind them. However, not all Asuras are Rakshasas."
I've always thought of the Rasetsu embodying the Caldari's predatory instinct, where they kind of hold it up and go "This is our demon. This is the sum-total of us at our worst".

Also rattati, what number of names are we looking at here? Like are we just naming the suit? Or are we having suits be influenced by powercore or what?

So we're naming every individual dropsuit from mlt, bsc, adv, & pro? for just the dropsuits?
I think this presents some issues in that there will just be way, way too many names. Part of the reason that people remember all the eve ships is because they each do something unique (ie, osprey, caracal, moa, blackbird are all caldari cruisers, but they each do something unique). There is so much overlap with dust dropsuits that it probably should really just be 1 name per role (+ the unique apex names?).... or something. I'm not terribly sure.
