British "Fury" name ideas.

Post by Son of a gun-ner »

Hello folks.

I've been collecting up parts to make a British version of the "Fury" four tank squad. And I've come up with a few names for each tank, but they don't "feel" quite right. Obviously I'm thinking of typically British names, but I just can't think of one to replace the name Fury on the firefly, jolly miffed doesn't quite hit the spot, although. . . .

Rosy Lee however is one I'm considering for one of the other tanks.

Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Oh, and this is what I recently received from Nick Aguilera. Including 3 short 75mm barrels, 2 low bustle turrets with a few small hatches and British fire extinguishers.

I was thinking of something along the same lines as yourself Mick ' slightly miffed ' :D as you know, the Brits don't like to make a fuss, apparently ;) .... :thumbup:

Cheers, Lee.

Well, one name has been accounted for. I was looking up popular British women's names for that time, given to babies during the 1910's and early 20's, then saw my mum's name close to the top.
She was born in 1914, and named Beatrice.

One down, three to go.

Edit, may go with "For Dunkirk" or "For" something on a similar theme.
