Title.

I want to name one of my characters' blade "Cupcakes". Maybe have it so you can only do this if you have high skills with a certain weapon and you have 15 kills with that specific weapon, or just be able to rename anything. I think there should be requirements though so you don't have 5,000 uniquely named weapons scattered throughout your army...

Maybe make it so the person with the highest skill in Sabres (Or whichever one made it to 100 first) be the only one who can name their weapon and create like a group of 5 guys who are each a master of a different named weapon. They would be normal weapons mind you, just with a changed name.

I dunno. Sounds neat to me. What do you goofers think? :3

I approve of weapons being given automatic nicknames depending on who you kill, how, where, and how quickly. There have been other games where the weapons come with nicknames on their own, but the closest example I can think of is in X-Com where your soldiers could get nicknames after ranking up. In my opinion, it would go a long way toward increasing immersion and making people think of themselves as legends as they get stronger and stronger. Whenever I read old stories about powerful or famous warriors, their weapon always has a name. Something memorable, but it always seemed to be given to the sword by those who saw him in combat.

I feel as though there shouldn't be a limit based on skills alone. Maybe just on how many kills you get with that specific weapon, like you said. And having an army with unique weapons shouldn't be too big a problem, seeing as how the player is (prosably [probably + possibly]) the only one that can name weapons. Unless it happens to anyone automatically... maybe the name that's picked is based on the wielder's reputation/bounty/stuff like that.

Also you should be able to name a sword that you have forged yourself

I agree with this. Samurais gave a name of their swords because they believed their warrior spirit was inside it, and respected the sword.
