Naming my queen ant

As most of you know i have a camponotus compressus colony which around 4 months old. I have named them the shadow warriors because of their non shiny black colour. If you wish you can check their full journal here-
https://forum.AntsCanada.com/viewtopic.php?f=26&t=20327
But i need a name for their royal Highness. You can't just keep the most important member of the colony running around unnamed. So do you guys have a suggestion to what i should name her? She is big, not very shiny and black with reddish thorax and legs

How about "The red widow"?
Doing some proper research is the best way to start an antcolony.

Currently not keeping any ants anymore.

Would you accept names that come from a normal word but in a different language? I'm bad at names lol

Yeah sure. As long as it suits a queen and is cool its alright. But use English letters as other types of letters will be hard to read and pronounce :)

I though of 'Andhera' which means dark in hindi. I'm not Indian, I just used google translate :lol: . And it might also be inappropriate for you as it might mean something else.

U are right but andhera doesn't make sense as it just means dark. Like people would ask me whats the name of the queen and I would say "dark". I am thinking noir empress as noir means black in french.

L'empress noir... ya that could work.
My current colonies:
-Miniature Military(formica neogagates)
-Black Hearts(crematogaster cerasi)
In search of new camponotus colony
[Have a look at antmaps.org]
