Adam and the Ant-iums

[TSINI]

does anyone else not like the fact that adamantium sounds like it was discovered by Adam and the Ants?

its the material of choice in the imperium, (along with plasteel). even though its a fictional material used in many comics (x-men's Wolverine is full of the stuff), i can never hear it or say it without chuckling to myself

"Prince Charming!"

or even Atom Ant

to give this thread a more refined direction. what other material name could we use in 40k, instead of stealing a funny sounding one from comics? or do you like it just the way it is?
