In Response To: What's in a name? (Ross Mills)

: Cortana: A type of Sword, she is an excellent tactitian, and is often
: instrumental in defeating the foe. (Covenant)

Not a type of sword, it's the name of Ogier the Dane's sword. It was offered to him by Charlemagne and the words "My name is Cortana. I am of the same steel and temper as Joyeuse and Durandane." where written on it. Joyeuse is Charlemagne's sword and Durandane is, well... I hope you know by now. :D

: Master Chief: Both "Master" and "Chief" and very
: commanding names, these give you a sense of power over others.

It's more than that. It's the short for "Master Chief Petty Officer", the highest field rank in the marine.

: Foe Hammer: On the level "Foe Hammer" in Marathon, you cannot use
: the transporters, (Well you can, but it doesnt help you), and in Halo, Foe
: Hammer IS your main transportation.

It's also the english translation Gandalf's sword's name, Glamdring, in Lord of the Rings. (Yes, swords again)
