Can anyone provide a translation of Name Eater (Or Eater of Names) in some old language- Latin, Greek, something similar. Whichever sounds the coolest....

In Turkish 'I eat names' would be adiler yiyorum

But there wouldn't be a dot on the first i.

Name eater in latin is Nomen Eater

Where as Name Swallower is Nomen epotus

In ancient greek you're looking at λεξικό δεν βρήκε καμία λέξη which i can't find aspoken translation to...

"Name Eater" is "Nomen Eater" in Latin. ("Eater of Names" = "Eater of Nomen").

In Ancient Greek its "Onomophagus". You might try Sanskrit, that could be quite cool.

Icelandic? Nafnétyr for 'eater', Nafnsvalvyr for 'swallower', Nafnrándýr for 'predator'.

Voro is a nice latin word
Voro : "To eat Greadily, swallow up, consume, gorge oneself"

ingurgito: "To glut oneself / Gorge"

and name, well - depends on the type of name

'Cognomen' is basically a familiar name, or family name. (e.g. a surname or a nickname)
'Nomen' is just a name
'titulus' is a title, or a label (although I have a feeling this is more of a physical entity)

Since you're looking for something which sounds cool, you should probably just hybrid some of these and come up with a composite word which means little by itself.
like 'Voronomen' or even go cross-languages.

Actually, Voronomen is a pretty good name. It's certainly the current favourite :-)
