For quite a long time, if someone asked, I just described my Chaos Space Marine army as classic "Death Guard", since I used to run them with the rules from the 3.5 Codex. Now since my army has grown so much I'm trying to find a more personal identity for them and a new name as well. My army isn't just a CSM army, it was always thought of as a combined force of Chaos Space Marines, Demons and Traitor Guard. During the time I spent converting and painting them, I quite often used bright green slime which works perfetly in combination with models like the Nurgle Demon Prince from Forgeworld.
Here's the basic idea: The army is supposed to look and feel more... industrial. Like the creation and distribution of Nurgle's pleagues is a business that only works with a lot of manpower and mass production. So the bright green slime is their major export (read: weapon of choice) which also serves as a fuel source of sort. It runs through the entire army and powers the Demon Engines. I want this army to have more engines, creepy amalganations of Demon and Machine, like my Soul Grinder and the w.i.p. Forgefield you see below.





And this guy is obviously from the upper management.



Now, what to call them? I'm looking for a name that somehow fits for a evil company, but isn't too cheesy, since they still are still mostly CSM. Something Forgeworld related maybe? Plaegues Primus Inc.? Something like that.

Well, I guess with the upper management guy it's a little humorous and in that case the suggestions already ITT are good, but if you're looking for a name that would fit a sort of "serious business" approach, within the concept of the 40k grimdarkness of course, you could come up with a serious company name like [name of home world] Contracting/Fabrications/Whatever, with the implication that they are galactic materiel contractors whose technology is largely powered by Nurglish Warp forces and sold to other Chaos entities. Then you could come up with a name for your army, given that they are only a small fraction of the arms force within a much larger industrial partnership.

For the army, something like:
Defense Team 777 (because sacred #7)
[name of company] Security Group
Liabilities Control Division
Public Affinity Enforcement
Abrogation Response Detachment

Its my go to Plague Inc zombie name (of course I have to get clever abbreviating it). I thought it would work well for your Papa Nurgle/Uncle Typhus force too. The more you think about it, the better it works.

The Forge of Decay?


Automatically Appended Next Post:
Okay, so here a bit more thought on the matter:

There was a Forgeworld (named "something with P in it Prime) that got caught in a Warpstorm which was actually an invasion. The facilities came under siege by Death Guard and demon forces. Nurgle's pleagues usually come from the demons, but he stronghold in Imperial space. Even with the Imperial Guard that were stationed in the sector, the Forgeworld eventually got overrun and the survivers were welcomed into the fray. Now the planet produces Warmachines for Nurgle and is only known as

....

The Rotten Forge

Which takes care of the origin, but I might a bit of variation on that name to describe the combined forces of CSM, traitor guard and demons.
