500 > Playtesters that remember hive as Mother and Skulks as Bobs 10000 < 1.x Players that have never had a name for it, so called it No Name 1000000000000 (hopefully) < 2.x Players that are happy to call it whatever, at the moment No Name
And for the person who said that it is called Mother and we should leave it in the past, calling it Mother is much more the past, and only for those small few of playtesters, than calling it No Name, which is the present.
Yes, naming a hive No Name is silly, but the world needs more laughter, start here.
I suppose Mother is as in reference to Alien, just Mother, while MI is it's interface. yeah <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo-->
What's the big deal? I mean.. jesus.. all this hype (is that how you spell it?) over what you should call a hive... Just learn to call it whatever someone else calls it...
Example... one day, you might join a server full of people calling it Noname... just refer to it as that...
but then the next day, you join a server full of people calling it Mother... just refer to it as that..
There, problem solved, I win, you lose <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->
I suppose it's all up to preference, not to mention developmental exposure.
I still think Noname seems like a silly name just from the way it sounds; if you want to get dramatic and mysterious, Nameless has got to be it. (Unnamed isn't that bad, either, but it doesn't seem to roll off the tongue as well in this context.) But I still stand by Mother. Mother! Mother? Mother!!!! (Pluspunkt to the one who figures out what that's from.)
Anyway, the way some folks here are laying it, you'd think they'd be happy with the name Ajumarsklumbibii for the hive because "you can play on your LAN and call it whatever you want there." :) I guess in the long run, it doesn't matter so terribly much what it's called, but -- well, nevermind. I'm sure those who want it called Mother as well know what I'm talking about, but I sure don't!
Mo-Name. If you remove the hyphen, it's Moname, which sounds like mon ami, which is 'friend', isn't it? The Friend Hive, or Friendly hive, or HAPPY HAPPY TELETUBBEEZ would also work for hive names, and it would be all thanks to Sirus.
I always call the first hive in the round the mother hive.
But give the bloody hive a name. There are SO many creative names for the different sections on every map, and leaving it No Name is just silly in my opinion. I'm sure someone could bring up a serious and good name?

But seriously, everyone is so set in their ways that they can't oblige the makers to call it its real name?! That is pretty sad.
This isn't a discussion, this is people saying "It's sucks/fine." or "Mother > Noname." There is no grounds for discussion here because there are no reasons behind their <i>opinion</i>.

Mother hive
Father Hive
Father no name hive
Bee hive
Mother interface
Daddy Interface
Father Interface

It, I bet no name will get a new nick or something, I need help at "hive 3" :/
whatever, as long as it has a name that shows up in hive sight, it will be a lot easier to direct people.
Sounds like a regular hive name AND we all know Emanon backwards is Noname.
However, I think that to cut this argument dead it should get a brand new name.
And they will say:
"JP rush? LOL yeah right!"
