Another Flatland name thing...

[ffutures]

I want a name for a villain, something like Lex Luthor. The character's a hexagon so the first name can be Hex, the best surname I've come up with is Linear, but I'm sure that someone here can think of something better. Must be math or geometry related, of course.

Euclid?

[ffutures.livejournal.com]

Unfortunately no, I've already got the kingdom of Polygonia ruled by Mad King Euclid.

Hex Hectare.

[ffutures.livejournal.com]

Or just Hex Tare? Maybe for a farmer, doesn't feel quite right for a villain.

[davidkevin.livejournal.com]

Well, I thought a unit of measurement of area might be appropriate since you're talking about Flatland, and "Hex Hectare" has the same one-two rythym as "Lex Luthor"...but it's your game, so if it doesn't work for you, it doesn't work for you.

BTW, both my wife nilajean and I loved the drabble series of Buffy/West Wing crossovers.

Hex E. Decimal

Not very villainish, I think. But useful if they ever build a 2-dimensional Babbage engine or something.

Hmmm. Well, the obvious puns aren't working. Good thing I have my ancient unabridged dictionary here...
Hex Hierarch
Hex Histogram
Hex Hyperbola
Hex Helix
and the old standby, Hex Hexagon

Hexy Beast.

The Fiend with Six Sides.

Six Maniac.

[ffutures.livejournal.com]

Definitely not

possibly as a description of the villain

No chance

Hex Agonal? Or maybe Hex A. Gonal?

[ffutures.livejournal.com]

Again, not really villainish enough. But thanks!

[learnedhand-dj.livejournal.com]

Can we drop the Hex, and go with something else mathematic and bad guy sounding? Like Harm Mean (short for Harmonic Mean)? Or Zero Vector?

[ffutures.livejournal.com]

Not mad keen. I really want the whole criminal genius / Lex Luthor vibe if possible.

Hex Vector or Hex Vertex.

Hex Sector, after his habit of taking his frustrations out on any circles who happen to fall into his clutches!

It's stretching a bit, but: Hex Futharc?

Runic lettering is quite angular, which seems appropriate, and the word fuþarc is made up of the first six characters of the runic alphabet. Probably too obscure though.

More mathematically:

Hex Vector
Hex Factor
Hex Divisor

Hex Hull?

[lawbag.livejournal.com]

Hex Loci

Hex Algebra

[ffutures.livejournal.com]

Oh, I like Algebra, that's a definite possibility.

[rachelmap.livejournal.com]

Hex Surd?

Checking in way, way late...

Hex, the Mutant Septagon
Mr. Hex Knuckles
Mr. Six Crime

However, my husband maintains that octahedra are the most evil Euclidean solids so you need to watch out for those squares....
