After playing a few games with my Blood Angels army, I have realized that my army list is complete shite. So in redoing the list and ripping apart my half painted army to re-equip Marines with new gear, etc. I have decided to create a new BA successor chapter altogether, full of homebrewn individual characters a Chapter Master and so forth.
Anyways, long story short - is there any real reasoning or history behind the naming of special characters within the SM Chapters? I've heard criticisms in response to people, in creating their own chapter, naming special characters with names of completely different origins than those known to that chapter. I wanted to research some names for my chapter, but didn't want to make all the names say, Roman in origin, where the BA names may be old English names.
This may seem goofy, but I get nit picky when it comes to creating a chapter, and I want it to flow correctly and fit in realistically with set fluff.
Thanks in advance
Cheers
