Well, actually, I named it after a small, near Earth asteroid, which in turn
was named after one of the gods of love. I guess Phobos or Deimos would have
been more appropriate - those names are reserved for more colorful, meaner
looking mechs. Anyway, why not love? It doesn't even have a gun, yet! ;-)
I used to name nechs after stars; but then, "Life on Mars" came out.
Constellations make them sound too much like Oz mobile suits; I'm running out
of astronomy stuff; I'll have to move to physics soon (names like the 'Quantum
avenger' come to mind :-D).
