Surely the wraith guard dudes sit around when its quiet and think to each other 'man wasn't flembot a bit angrier than usual today, I am thinking about going to HR and putting a report in about his recent behaviour'.

Do the Wraith have names?

They also seem to go by titles - Commander, Queen, Primary, Second-in-Command, etc...that seems as far as their designations go (that we know of). We've had a few interesting discussions about this - with loads of speculation. Some have wondered if - in their telepathy - they have names for each other that are similar to Native American names. For instance, Steve said of himself, "I am your death" when Shep asked his name. So, perhaps among Wraith Steve is called 'He who is your death', or something like that. So...not a name as we know it, but more of a description to distinguish one from another.

The Wraith are an insect species and insects tend not have a sense of individuality, for this reason I doubt they have names as we know them. Each Hive is its own group of Wraith and there can't be that many male Wraith on a Hive, each Queen would only need enough to control all the warriors.
I think Queen's may have names, as it may just be in my own head but they seem more different from each other than male Wraith. Apart from Todd, are there any real difference between Steve, Bob or Kenny?Does it say Colonel anywhere on my uniform?

I saw this thread title, and all I could think of was The Simpsons...
"To pronounce it correctly, I would have to....pull out your tongue.""A society grows great when old men plant trees, the shade of which they know they will never sit in. Good people do things for other people. That's it, the end." -- Penelope Wilton in Ricky Gervais's After Life

I'd imagine that their 'names' have something to do with their rank within the hive or their age... something that has no direct translation into any of the languages spoken aloud.
This might also explain why Michael was referred to as such... since all of the other wraith considered him tainted, unpure, not-quite-wraith-enough, whatever you want to say, they'd call him the name that would bring as much shame as possible.
Is Todd ever called Todd by any of the other wraith? Todd commands more respect from the others than Michael, and therefore got to keep his secret wraith-name.
