Subject: What's in a name? Necron Overlord names

Quick-fingered Warlord Moderatus

So, I have been slowly building up my Necron armies. However, I am at a loss as to the name of the Overlord in command and the Dynasty he represents. So, I come to you, fellow Dakkanauts (or Dakkaites, or whatever it's called  ) for suggestions or inspirational names.
So far, he was given the title Lord Judicator before biotransference, and is overall master of a Coreworld somewhere in the center of the galaxy. Hope that helps a bit.

How about something like "Lord Arbiter Sekris, Regent of Talloi, Sautekh Dynasty." If you want him to just be an Overlord of a Coreworld, why not have it be a member of the most powerful Dynasty right now?
My personal Overlord is Anaxiss, the Stygian Destroyer, Phaeron of the Stygia Dynasty.
I've also got High Executioner Zaal, of the Crimson Host as my Destroyer lord.

Feudalism seems a theme now, so lots of useless titles are an option.
Plus, GW moved away from silly names in translation ( Zahndrekh to Zanndrekh ),
IMO hey use Y and KH amongst other parts in names rather often in their new fluff.
Then add something defining the role or favorite action of the Lord:
- the traveller , the infinite , the ... etc
But I suck at names, got 1 army without a name and its codex is from 4th ed...

Hmm, I suppose it would make sense to be a part of one of the more powerful dynasties. That being the case, the so far unnamed Lord Judicator of the Coreworld of the Atun Dynasty, famed for its technological mysticism, since he does tend to favor the use of Crypteks and other powerful technologies.
Thanks for the suggestions!

Look up some old Egyptian names. Pharaoh names always sound good (and indeed Phaeron comes from Pharaoh): Akhenaton, for example.
