Tyranids don't have names as such, more general Latin-English sounding species names.

The Tyranid codex has all the names for each species on page 16-17. To make the squads individual, I add Primus, Secondus, Trium, Quadatum, etc to the end of the name.

So for example, my first squad of Termagants are called: Gauntii Virago Primus.

Yes but you may wish to call your Hive tyrant the "Reaper" or "Old Spikey" squads of gaunts may take on names like "the harbringers" or "hissing death"

I regularary used 2 carnifexes that I affectionately named "Tweetle-Dee" and "Tweetle-Dum". The name just seemed to stick one night after an string of very bad rolls...one was shooting about as accurate as a Stormtrooper and the other must have forgot to eat it's spinache...(stoopid tank with a stoopid cannon~lol~)
