Bizarre question

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

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 :-)
