I'm actually working on something like this for my Merc company. It makes better sense for spheroid units though.Fluffing out clan characters gets tiresome... warrior A, Bloodhouse X, sibko 3 blah blah blah
Kind of why I don't usually do it. I generally use joke names for characters I create. No body ever like the CapCon mechwarrior named He Wen Thataway or his commander Kow Pie, even if they were awesome mechwarriors by the time the campaign was over.
Fluffing them out isn't that problem, my love of tongue in cheek jokes is.
