Dark Angels Names

Given the recent revelation that Dark Angels are given new names when they enter the inner circle, at what rank are they given these names? I.e., are sergeants? Black Knights? or is it just upon induction to the deathwing?

All the primaris received their names upon induction into the circle primaris. They weren’t all leaders.

 

Not everyone is in a position of power or authority. Many are incognito to even those in high positions. Easiest one is interrogator chaplain Boreas of the infamous Angels of Darkness novel not knowing of someone’s inner circle affiliation

So, here's a bit of an observation on the Dark Angels' naming scheme that I've noticed. The general theme for (40k) Dark Angels names are from the Abrahamic (Judaism, Christianity and Islam) faiths. In particular it seems to fall into these categories:

  1. People: Ezekiel, Lazarus, Balthasar*, Namaan
  2. Demons: Belial, Sammael, Asmodai, Naberius, Molochi, Belphegor
  3. Angels: Azrael, Gabriel, Baradiel**, Zadakiel**, Ramiel
  4. Names that are nonsense that SOUND like the previous three: Korahael, Sepharon, Belaphor, Nerael

 

 

* Balthasar is a variant spelling of Balthazar, one of the Three Wise Men, and also a variant of the Babylonian king Belshazzar, mentioned in the Book of Daniel.

** Baradiel is a variant of Barachiel, Zadakiel is a variant of Zadkiel

If people are interested there is a name generator in PA: Ritual of the Damned, and thanks to the guys in the Death Watch forum, I found this website that seems pretty cool. He offers his Patreon supporters an ink and paper version to print out and use with dice. Of course you can always just pick names from either the one in PA or the one one from Realm of Plastic.
