There's a bunch of Glyphs in the ork codex, using these I can come up with some fairly descriptive names.

Skraggatoof Tufnob <- An old grizzled veteran of many campaigns, with lots of missing or chipped teeth

Wurrdakka Krooza<- A warboss who is a really bad shoot (even for an ork!), but a big guy, who hits hard with a Power Klaw. (if anyone cares this is the name of my warboss)

Zagsnik Blitzulk<- Freebooter kaptin or stormboy commander (or both )

Zogrukka Gobboss <-an ork who never shuts up.

Or you can 'orkify an 'oomie name' somehow.

I have two leader type units in my army, they are Warboss Skumurty Skumfug and Big Mek Skabdakka Skumfug.

What I've got to explain them is that they named themselves on their own separate planets until they met one day and were like "Oi! Dis git's got da same name as me!" before fighting an epic duel in which the mek uses his tools and gadgets to counter the boss's sheer strength and size until they came to a stalemate. Then both decided they'd respect each other as "brothers from another spore sac" from then on and fight together in a WAAAAAGH!!! of somewhat epic proportions, at least as far as they're concerned.

Skumurty Skumfug leads his gang of roudy roughnecks that he very lovingly calls the Skumfuggers, while Skabdakka, making up for the uncreative first name comes up with an equally uncreative name for his mekanikal speed freeks. He figured they were rusty and dirty and called them "Da Rustbukkits."

So, summing it up, my Orks all chose their own names on their own, I used a random name generator that just put together pre and suffixes randomly from a list into names, then just mashed together stuff I liked or wanted. It can be found on the WAAAGH forum somewhere.

My Warboss is named Warboss Gutrip da Gobsmasha. I feel that it is best not to give your Warboss a name until he has done something in battle. For example, Gutrip earnt his name by single-handedly slaughtering 750pts worth of models in a 1000pt game, including Commander Straken, a Commissar Lord, a Valkyrie and a Leman Russ. Considering that he himself was little over 100pts, I fell that this was quite an effort. Let your boss prove himself in battle, then name him accordingly.

I might change mine's name, as there now exists a Warhammer character with the name Grimgor.

Maybe something more elaborate.

My Warboss has a power klaw for krumpin' 'eads.
He has the ever so imaginative name of Warboss 'Eadkrumpa.

Well I had one idea for a Warboss in a hypothetical ork army, modelled with a goblin sitting on the shoulders of another goblin. My name for them is Sniktok and Snoktik. But then this is assuming you don't already have it modelled and are a good converter.

Spreading the word of the Turtle Pie

My Warboss is called 'Eadsmasha. His grot is called faceurta. I imagine warbosses and thier grots being like ogres and their gnoblars: The warbosses pick up names as time goes on, or call themselves words they like, even if they don't know what the words mean. The grots follow the warbosses around and try to be like them as much as they can.

After reading Squad Broken, I renamed my Warboss Grimfang da Penetrator.

People are like dice, a certain Frenchman said that. You throw yourself in the direction of your own choosing. People are free because they can do that. Everyone's circumstances are different, but no matter how small the choice, at the very least, you can throw yourself. It's not chance or fate. It's the choice you made.
