I also think this should go for the terra, broken hero, night's (and by extension, true nights), the horseman's, and dungeon's items. Having half of the names for items in your mod just be "(adjective) (item class)" isn't just bad, but makes your mod look lazy, to the point where i was actually didn't even want to try this mod at first (until i heard people talk about how good it was (and also when it was updated to 1.4.4))
Some possible name ideas:

BOOTS/WINGS

Zenithspark Boots - Mercury's Boots [Mercury is the roman god of speed, this being a sequel to hermes boots (because hermes isn't technically the god of speed, he is the god of various things that all need to be fast, which is why he is associated with speed) also i know that mercury is a roman god but hermes is greek but shut up i dont care and if i look hard enough the game probably has done the same thing already]

Terra Persuader - Terrarian Wildlife Officer [refferring to real life Wildlife Officers who protect the forests and animals and also use tranquilizer guns. an alternative name would be Terrilizer Gun (or just Terrilizer), which is a portmanteau of Terra and Tranquilizer, but it sounds kinda dumb and silly and not powerful]

Light's Fire - Demon Welder

Night's Wrath - Dark Melter [Alternatively, more in the theme of the light's bane (like how the Light's Bane is the bane of light, meaning its hated by Light (which is something i dont think you actually followed but whatever)), this could use the name Light Cleanser]

Sacred Flamethrower - Light Cleanser [Alternatively, using the above naming scheme, this one would then be named Darkness Melter (not dark melter, dark is an adjective, darkness is a thing)]

ADDITIONALLY

I think having a "broken hero sword" for every single weapon does nothing but clutter the mod, as they all make one weapon each and all serve the same purpose - Combine the True Night's Edge equivalent and the True Excalibur equivalent. So either make them all use the actual broken hero sword, or make one new item that replaces all the old "broken hero ____" items

omg these are amazing I love these so much (I agree)!

what is the dungeon's dartgun rename? after "cursed" it is censored (idky, my profanity filter is off)

are you smarter than 5 thank you for making all of these names i will consider adding most of them and I will remove almost all broken hero items but should I just keep one broken hero item for every class as an example
broken hero sword for melee
broken hero bow for ranged
broken hero staff for mage
broken hero whip for whips
and broken hero wings for well wings

also one reason for most items having bland names because i dont have the time of the world to think of a special name for every single weapon and the mod itself has like hundreds of weapons so just thinking of names for every single weapon would just waste a lot more time. but i do appreciate it a lot that you took your time to make so many names for all the items.

search up "japanese dart gun" and its like literally the first result lol
its called a "f u k iya"

I totally understand! Your focus is making the mod and having to think of good names for every item could very well almost double the time it takes to add them. Not to mention after a while of naming so many items, the names might get somewhat low-effort, which would be worse than a base name to rename later.

Would love it if you did add these name ideas (or some of them at least) when you get the chance though! (Both mine and a.y.s.t.5's)

ah, I see. cool!

bart as of now i changed almost all names but kept the nights and terra names because i cant think of good ones and the ones mentioned i didnt like so much. The only one I liked and added was for the Terra Scythe "Scyther of Terraria"

Ok, i'll think of some different names for the nights and terra items

Night's Yoyo - Night's Throw; Darkside; Nightline

Terra Yoyo - Terrarian [you would have to rename the actual Terrarian to like True Terrarian or something, prob not a good idea]; Terrathrow; T-Spin; Terra Spin

Night's Blaster - Night's Range; Nightveil

Terra Persuader - Terraflow [Referring to the flow of air]

Night's Shortsword - Night's Tip [a broadsword hits enemies with its edge, a shortsword hits enemies with it's tip, Night's Edge, Night's Tip, you get the idea]; Night's Point; Night's Ridge

Terra Shortsword - Terra Saber

Terra Wings - Terr-air-ia; Terrairia [This one im really proud of]

I will include the Nightline and Terraflow and Terr-air-ia and Terra Spin and will change the Golem Yoyo to Golem's Throw. I feel like the shortswords names shouldn't be changed at all but thats just me.

Terr-air-ia is so unbelievably perfect lmao

I prefer Zenith (NAME), is easy to understand.

It gets a bit boring after a couple. Especially since "Zenith" isn't supposed to be a general form of nomenclature, given that the item itself is Zenith, and not Zenith Sword

No, you fail to see it, there are a lot of cool names but none are equivalent to Zenith. In terraria Zenith is seen as the ultimate, the perfect, the mastery, a deity. When you own an item named Zenith you fell this supremacy.

Maybe call them Zenith (Weapon Class) "(Nickname)" so it would look like this (based on bart's original suggestions):

Zenith Yoyo "String Theory"
Zenith Bow "Wavelength"
Zenith Scythe "Grim Fate"
..and so on.

I get what you mean, but it's not called "Zenith Sword", it's just called Zenith. Having everything named "Zenith ____" kind of reduces the hype of "Zenith"
