Okay, all the bionicle names have been good so far. But "STRAKK"?
Strack sounds like, "take a leather STRAp and whacK me, oKay?". Like seriously. or, like, some kind of vulgar word. "strakk you, you peice of strakk!"
tune in next time when TNT ( me ) makes fun of REVIEWS another bionicle name.

The Member Review Database forum should really just be for set reviews. This name review topic would be better suited for the General Bionicle forum.

"Strakk" is Latin for "massacre, bloodbath, carnage, debris."

Y'know he might've hit on a bigger point than basic name issues. Strakk, Skrall, Malum, Gresh, Tarix, and Vorox do sound rather...out of place when previous generations have had names like Tahu, Kopaka, Matoro, Hahli, Vakama, and Whenua. Possible Latin basis and all ending in consonants perhaps?

I actually like the name Strakk, and if it does indeed have Latin roots(I'm to lazy to check), that would make me happy. Also as what Yamamura said, you have to remember this takes place in another universe(planet). So the names sounding different(foreign), I think, is kind of cool.
