Shadow Dragons are my space marines.
I would say the name fits pretty well, think dark angels and raven gaurd with the personality of a salamander. striking from pre-prepared positions lightning fast and in the dark, protecting civilians, loving plasma, and trying to stay out of combat for as long as possible.
all I need is to find my fluffy reason for their hate of Ultras, can't wait until I take them to an Apoc game at my GW and they open fire on any ultrasmurfs, carnage will insue

Personally as long as it's not Rainbow Hippos,or Pink Ladies,
I think you can pick any name you want.
Wow I just remembered I didn't name my Chaos Legion.
Maybe "The Sons of Fulgrim".

That article inspired me to think about how to name my chapter again, actually. Yes, most of it has appeared here and there, but it is good to get a nudge from time to time.
So my thanks to the OP.

Honestly though, naming a chapter can be the hardest part, I've had a few ideas for chapters in mind, and never got any further because I couldn't think of anything that didn't sound stupid, or ripped off from somewhere else.
