What do you name your Leader Generating Units?
i'm fairly uncreative with ym names so i ended up with the following units in my past games...
"Jaggie the Jaguar Warrior"
"Knighty McKnight"
"Sharpy the Blademaster" (swordsman)
and my favorite
"Bruce Lee and his Horse" (rider)

Whats a leader generated unit? The elite unit that generates the leader? And how do you name it?
I dont notice all the subtleties during mass carnage.

It should also be given an extra hitpoint and the ability to make to unhappy citizens happy if located in a town.
I always just call them the Royal Dragoons if there Cavalry.

I named the 2 I got so far after the leader they generated:
Tojo's Archers
Hirohito's Samurai
But this is not a good idea, because they keep their name after an upgrade.
EDIT: Destroyer - install patch 1.29f and you'll know. Leader generating units can be named. This is important, because such a unit can generate only 1 leader, at least till the next upgrade.

I'll probably name them 'Put in Army or Upgrade', just so I don't forget.

When an Elite unit produces a leader you're able to name the unit with the new patch.
I rename 'em after all the great people on Apolyton.
Just kiddin...

I played Chinese in my ongoing game so I named them after heroes in Chinese novels I read.

Since I'm still playing my first game with 1.29f as the Chinese I'm not sure what I'd name units from other civs yet.
Here's what I have named my elite units that have produced GL so far:
Elite Swordsman = renamed "Cao Cao"
Elite Swordsman = renamed "Lu Bu"
Elite Rider = renamed "Cao Ren"
If anyone is familiar with the "Romance of the Three Kingdom" series from Koei than you will see how appropriate these names are!

I name them after the nearest city... if it's a non-upgradeable unit, then for instance, the "Paris Cavalry." If upgradeable, the "Thebes Guard."
