Help name my new fanfic series.

[lonewriter]

I've decided to change the name of the series I'm writing and I can't seen to settle on a name. Here is what I have so far,
Star Trek Babylon
Star Trek Geneva
Star Trek United
Star Trek Coalition
Star Trek Athens
I'll also take any suggestions. For those that don't know, this series takes place on a space station in the Romulan Neutral Zone. It orbits a former Iconian world and is the Star Trek version of Babylon 5. It has diplomats, Starfleet, Romulan and Klingon crew, repair facilities, shops, restaurants, a bar/casino/night club that is run by an tough old human woman named Granny (I think Hellsgate suggested her to me awhile ago on SCN) I have my series bible written and my first story synopses but I still need to name the show. Thanks.

The easy thing to do would perhaps be to name it after the station itself, something like Star Trek: Alpha Station. Or simply Alpha Station. Or Station Alpha. Starbase Alpha, etc.

Or perhaps you could base the name on the overall theme, like Star Trek: New Frontier. Which touched on the new sector of space Excalibur was exploring.

I wish I could be of more help. It took me a long time to come up with Dark Territory for my fanfic, so don't be afraid to try on a ton of names until you find something that fits you.

Star Trek: Granny's Hell Kitchen

Seriously, I agree with Dar Kush..Name the station, and you have an instant name for the series. All of the canon tv shows follow this convention, as well as many fan fic series.

But, if you want to focus on how out of the way it is, with a multicultural crew.. Maybe a different approach.

Babylon is just a bit too cliche (plus copyrighted..although I guess you could just change the number...)

If anything strikes me later, I'll let you know

How about Star Trek: Interzone?

(William S. Burroughs reference)

Star Trek: Zone Station Alpha

I like the premise, but you'll have to explain how both the UFP and the Romulan Empire agreed to allow a station to be built there, especially one built right on top of an old Iconian outpost.

I wish I could but that's part of the main plot of the first episode and I want it to be a suprise. I had intended to name it after the station, that is why I am thinking of calling the station Starbase Geneva or something similiar.

^ I'd meant that I hoped your in-story explanation would be a good one.

How about:

The Geneva Files: Declassified

 

[Maxillius]

Or how about just "The Geneva Files" (so you can include some dark ops )

 

[Starkers]

Is the station going to be administered by the Federation. Just wondering about giving it such a 'human' name if so.

 

[lonewriter]

the commander is a Starfleet Admiral but her two executive officers are Klingon and Romulan and the crew is mixed.

I'm now searching through an idiom website and hopefully I'll find something.

Thanks everyone for their help. I have named my new series, Star Trek Gatekeeper

Gatekeeper to what? Good title!!!

 

[lonewriter]

you'll just have to read it and find out.

 

[DarKush]

ST: Gatekeeper sounds good.

 

[captcalhoun]

i'm so tempted to start a new series:

Star Trek: Keymaster

Good name, with a sligh "old fashioned" flavour. I'm glad you did not pick Star Trek Babylon, it was too corny and derivative. I was partial to Star Trek Geneva, quirky and unconventional.

I don't see how you use geocities, I left them and am in the process of moving my site to freewebtown.com but when I am finished with the story I'll give you a link for your site.
