Since we could always use more Clone stuffs, how bout I go through some clone names and we can all find (or have a nice review) of who got what name and what it means.
COMMANDER CODY
The first named clone trooper, and the first unique clone onscreen as of Revenge of the Sith. So its only fitting we start with him.
The name "Cody" originated as O'Cuidightheach, a gaelic name, and effectively, it means "Helpful" or "Helpful Person"
Cody, out of universe, got his name based on old movies of Commando Cody--of which, Lucas was a fan of.
In the extended Star Wars universe, Cody is a Republicized variant of the Mando'a word "Kote", which means Glory.
CAPTAIN REX
Rex's name means "King" in latin. It can also refer to the Dinosaur, the Tyrannosaurus Rex.
And it is also a common name for pet Dogs. Take that as you will.
LIEUTENANT JESSE
Another shockingly ordinary name, and a Hebrew derived name. Coming from Ancient Greek of "Iessei", and then from Hebrew itself "Yishai". It means "Gift of God" or "God Exists"
But more than likely, given that such historic-terminology does not exist in Star Wars.
LT Jesse's name is more likely derived from the idiom "Give someone a Jesse"... Which means to give them a scolding or a beating.
KIX
I've discussed Kix before, but I might as well do it again for posterity.
Kix, is derived from Kex, the archaic english term for the plant "Hemlock". TBB fans, go wild.
HARDCASE
You might assume this means that this someone who is hard-nosed and a hard nut to crack, but that isn't the case for our Hardcase.
Hardcase is derived from New Zealand Slang, as An "amusing, funny, witty, or possibly strange person."
DENAL
There is no specific case that I can make for Rex's early command squadmate, save that Denal is probably meant to be Denial.
BOIL
While we can make jokes about the skin abrasion, it probably refers to his temper. A Boiling point, as it were.
WAXER
It could be referring to someone who waxes... But, it could also refer to the term "Waxing", as it the growth of something. Given his "Glass half full" personality, perhaps its "Glass half waxing".
COMMANDER BLY
The Commander of Aayla Secura's legion, and whom fired upon her during Revenge of the Sith.
The term bly, a dialetcic english term, means "Likeness" or "resemblance". Means Bly literally got his name for resembling another person (Wow, no Shit). Whoever named him, basically called him the clone variant of Manny, beacuse He Man.
COMMANDER GREE
Introduced in Revenge fo the Sith, as being decapitated by Yoda.
While in the extended universe, he's named after animals...
The term "Gree", English Obsolete, refers to either "One of a flight of steps" or "one of a stage of ranks". Dude literally got the name "Rank".
COMMANDER BACARA
Introduced in Revenge of the Sith, for firing upon Kit-Mun-Di.
Bacara is Romanian for Baccara, which in turn refers to Baccarat, a card game. Absolutely nobody knows where the word came from originally.
COMMANDER PONDS
Retroactively intorduced in Attack of the Clones, as the Clone Commander who greets General Windu.
It... It just means Pond, but pural. It probably refers to the fact that Kamino is an Ocean, and the earth's oceans are sometimes refered to as ponds in slang.
COMMANDER NEYO
Revenge of the Sith.
It probably is meant to mean "Neo", which means New or Young, in Ancient Greek.
COMMANDER APPO
Revenge of the Sith; Marched on the Temple. Does not, in fact, outrank Rex despite himself.
Appo is an obsolete english Prepostion, referring to an object as "Before", "After", "Behind" or "nearby".
It derives from Latin, "Apud", which means "in the presence of" or "among"
(AMOGUS?)
COMMANDER THORN
Named after Thor, from Marvel. There's even an old english letter called Thorn.
COMMANDO GREGOR
The name Gregor, means "Watchful" or "alert". Which, given his character, is quite ironic.
CAPTAIN HOWZER
I am unable to find that name specifically, but I theorize its based off of "Howitzer", which is a firearm cannon
There is a lot more clones, and I can't make a post of every one of them. But lemme know if you want me to find anyone else.
*when the 212th and 501st have training together*
Waxer: Are you upset that you don't get to be on the same team as Echo?
Fives: Have you ever run a simulation with Echo?
Waxer: No..
Fives: Have you ever been trapped in a cage with a wolverine?
*on the other end of the battlefield*
Echo, chasing Boil: I SAID FASTER DO YOU NOT KNOW WHAT THE WORD FASTER MEANS IT MEANS MORE FAST-
Obi-Wan, looking for his Commander after a battle: Cody? Cody, where-
Cody, exhausted and facedown in the mud: I've decided that I don't want to be Cody anymore
Obi-Wan, also exhausted: oh? who are you going to be then?
Cody: I've decided to be a rock. rocks are allowed to just sit here and rest
Obi-Wan, stroking his beard: I see
Obi-Wan: *lays down on top of Cody's prone form*
Cody: hng. sir??
Obi-Wan, getting comfortable: I like your reasoning, Rock. I've decided that I will follow in your footsteps and be Moss, which is only expected to sit on top of rocks
The fact that the fandom collectively loses their shit when one of those animated copy paste men even breathes is absolutely hilarious when you think about it.
Last menu animation in the line 🧡
Now that those are out of the way, i'm back to creating new assets, then slowly moving on to making the trailer and some promo shots. The posters are also currently being redone with the new models, so they all look pretty n stuff. So slowly but surely, those will be up for sale soon as well
Boil: *holds up his helmet* We tried to make a video with the General, like those ones owners do with pets where they wake them up with their favorite treat?
Fives: *comes at the sound of memes* Oh? How did it go?
Echo: What even /is/ his favorite treat? Tea?
Waxer: *shakily standing after wiping away the tears* It’s a specific blend of red that’s been banned from trade, but Senator Organa got him a few boxes of it recently.
Boil: I still think it would have worked.
Rex: Wait, you think? It didn’t work?
Boil: We tried, but Cody is guarding him, he’s wrapped /tight/ in a blanket roll and sleeping like the dead. Cody threatened my manhood if we woke him.
Waxer: *wheezing again* Instead we have footage of Cody smacking the shit outta us like an angry tooka.
