* ''[[Schlock Mercenary]]''. Fortunately, mercenaries (even human ones) often adapt nicknames for use in the company, thus Leelagaleenileeleenoleela is "Legs". But while the Enireth or Uniocs use human-pronounceable names and other words, there are F'sherl-Ganni with their language endlessly folding into origami <ref>e.g. "[[Dyson Sphere|Buuthandi]]" is said to be a shortcut for "Buut go buut-buut nnaa-nnaa cho handi", which is translated as "Expensive and expensive-expensive [expletive] we built"</ref> named like Gasht'g'd'g'tang, P'D'K'Tag or Torpth'g'd'p'tawn. And then there are the Oafa, with names like Hioefua, Unuaiya, Maiamumla ([[Mind Hive|mind-melded with]] Anuaiyya and Utchi-Skafatka - who, as you can infer just from the name, is not of the same species) and Yaeyoefui.
