i need a name to replace one i had. but its complicated so here it is i used to belong to a house called House nocturnus for a larp i played, it was a kinda boon-dock saints deal, we were nor opposed to using evil to destroy more vile forms of evil. i am moving and starting at a new larp and wish to use the old idea however i can not use the name Nocturnus (long story) but i need something that will get the piont across and that i can say losely translates to "hunters of the night" or something similar like Dark stalkers or whatever.
so thats the challenge. please help me anyone, someone som..ething?

It's always fun to make existing words into strange looking words :
- Nightfall -> Nai-Fahl
- Moonchild -> Mohn Chail
- Dark Stalkers -> Derreck Stahl-ka
- Pink Bunny -> Pinnek Buhn-iiii

just by going back to other languages and seeing how they might translate you can come up with lots of ideas.

examples: from Spanish, "hunter" is cazador
in Italian, "hunter" is cacciatore and "night" is notte

from those i can already see lots of possibilities.
and honestly, i doubt very seriously that a bunch of people would immediately see a character named Cazad Notte and think of how it was formed...
even though it is a fairly simple name and easily derived.

to clarify my current character name is Therris Drakul and and i belong to House ________ . i like that B6 Cazador has a nice sound to it, may go with Venator Atrum as it is latin for hunter Dark. anyone know how to actually put that into latin as "Hunters of the Dark"

Venatores Tenebrarum? That sounds a little long for a house name.
