Casey, aside from Locutus (probably given to Picard by the Borg Queen) those are names that those Borg gave themselves.

I think 75876889344 is the Borg equivalent of SMITH.

The Borg were really scary In their first few appearances; First Contact is a good movie but the Borg were more typical Hollywood zombies by then.

I don't get into zombie movies or TV shows because dead people roaming around is just too beyond creepy for me. With the Borg, they only appear to be zombies, so the creepiness level well within my comfort zone.

Personally, I would have liked it better if they were all just 'Borg'. But then the concept of the Borg seemed to get worse with each new Borg episode.

No way, then we wouldn't have had FC.

Why was Picard Loqutus and not 9 of 10 or some other "combination?" It seems that he was special but all the members of the collective are supposed to be equal.

Maybe, since Picard was chosen by the Borg to speak to humanity, humanity would feel more comfortable with a more "traditional" name, rather than a Borg designation?

I think this was done rather well in light of Picard's assimilation as Locutus. With Locutus having a name, they needed to show how drones are designated, so that Locutus was more important to the Collective.

Certainly. Couldn't have Picard as just 1 of 562.

FC was the best of TNG movies, but the concept of the Borg had drastically changed by then.
But in the series, once you're past BOBW, you get I Borg and Descent. Ick.

What's in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet.
At least the Borg names are easy to remember, you should walk around with the tongue-twister I have for a last name. It's Italian.

It really wouldn't make any sense for them to refer to each other by the same name. Each would have a singular purpose to provide the collective and be named thusly.
