Need help with character "codename"

[Snig]

Hey guys, looking to get some creative juices flowing. I'm playing an Aberrant Mind Sorceress who was created in a lab and raised by a nefarious institute to harnesses her power (think eleven from stranger things)

I'm trying to come up with a cool sounding codename for her that the institute would have given her. Weapon X is an example of what I have in mind, as well as Elon Musks kid "X Æ A-Xii"

If Elon Musk can do it then so can we 🙃.

Any ideas guys and girls?

p.s worth mentioning that she's a female character.

Could also go the fun-with-acronyms route.

For example: she is the Mind-Enslavement and Neurological Shutdown Project, or M.E.N.S. Project for short. But her friends call her Mensie!

I have a warforged paladin called The Unit. When it introduces itself, it puts a short pause between "The" and "Unit": "This unit is called The__Unit." It decided it didn't want to call itself The 'Last' Unit, anymore.

Maybe your character was dubbed a failed experiment, but their label was damaged and they go by "iled Ex." Or something like that. I guess I'm just saying that, sometimes, the part we don't see is the most interesting and allows room for backstory to become currentstory.

I might ask what her exact relationship with the institute was. They wanted to harness her power, so were they intending to use her as agent of sorts? This would ultimately need some degree of both loyalty and obedience, so she might very well have an actual "name" (depending on the view of whoever's in charge). If they did have a specific purpose for an agent, that might also inform it.

Or was this more of a test subject / observer relationship? Then you might pick a name deliberately intended to dehumanise the person: Subject Delta, Eleven, Agent 47, etc.

And, of course, people being what they are, individual researchers might come up with their own nicknames. The star of Project Evolution becomes 'Evie' to the person doing her psych evals, and maybe it catches on. A kid seems shy so a researcher starts calling them Mouse. Subject VII becomes... Vii (pronounced V, to make things needlessly confusing). Etc.

I might just be spinning my wheels here, since I don't have any real suggestions. But it could be an opportunity to hint at, or at least tie in with, some more specific details of her backstory.

Which one?

Or use them all and have her switch every time she talks to a different person.

Besides Esme, it could also be Ensominex.
