    I'm not sure what sort of suggestions you're looking for, but personally I don't find that 'Nemesis Saints' rolls off the tongue that well, owing to the first and second word beginning and ending with 's', respectively.

    Well what's your chapter 'about'?

    What's a general feel for their character?

    Which Primarch do they venerate, if any?

    How religious are they?

    Which method of warfare do they prefer?

    Which codex do you intend to use for them?

    All of these could feed into finding a good name for a custom chapter.

    the problem is that you're not giving us much to work with. Some things that might help:

    1. Which marine codex are you going to use?
    2. Color choices
    3. Shoulder Emblem
    4. Chapter wide personality traits
    5. Chapter home world culture

    A memorable space marine chapter is more than just a name. Even just a simple background can make it stand out.

    I think that Kawauso is right--it has to reflect their character.

    The color and the idea of taking trophies is pretty evocative. Maybe you could use something that focuses on that, and how they are relentlessly pursuing chaos and heresy; something like Void Hunters, Void Stalkers, Chaos Hunters, Demon Hunters, etc.

    Or, alternately, something that keys on their devotion to the Emperor and relentless pursuit of the enemy: The Emperor's Hounds, or (more metaphorically) The Sun Dogs.

    Those are just my thoughts. Hope you find something you like.

    Well if they're daemon hunters, they sort of have a codex tailor made for that purpose.

    Emperor's Hounds or Sun Dogs is a good name. Hearkens to American Marines being called Devil Dogs.

    I'm still pretty new to 40K, didn't know that Daemon Hunters already had a book of their own (didn't recall seeing them in the 5th edition rules--are they from a prior edition?).

    I also didn't know the US Marines were called Devil Dogs, but that is a pretty cool nickname as well.

    Another way to go might be to have them named for some legendary leader, like the first Chapter Master. I'm thinking of "Rico's Roughnecks" from the Starship Troopers movie. They could be "(so-and-so)'s Raiders" or "(so-and-so)'s Guards" or something like that.
