Exo names in true Destiny style: a short given name followed by a hyphenated reboot count, like Cayde-6, Saint-14 and Banshee-44. Built for Guardians, clan rosters, RP characters and fan fiction set in the Last City or the Deep Stone Crypt.
About exo names
Exos are the war machines Clovis Bray built in the Deep Stone Crypt, human minds moved into humanoid frames, and their names follow one strict rule: a given name, a hyphen, and a number. Cayde-6, Saint-14, Banshee-44, Ada-1, Lakshmi-2, Eriana-3. The number is a reboot count. Every time an Exo's mind is reset to stop the Dissociative Exomind Rejection that drives them mad, the count goes up, so a low number means a stable mind and a high one means a frame that has been wiped many times and may be losing itself. Banshee-44 forgetting mid-sentence is the number made literal.
The name in front of the hyphen is where the personality lives. Canon Exos use ordinary human first names (Ada, Micah, Reed, Elisabeth), names from many cultures (Lakshmi, Eriana), and single evocative words that read like callsigns (Saint, Banshee). Surnames are rare; the Bray family are the exception because they kept theirs.
This list opens with canon Exos for reference, then gives original names across every register Bungie uses: biblical and classical names, multicultural modern names, callsign-style words like Vesper and Harrow, and clerical or military titles like Deacon and Praetor. Numbers are spread realistically, mostly between 1 and 12 with a few high outliers for Exos who have seen too many resets.
Tips for choosing a name
- Keep the reboot number meaningful: 1 to 5 for a stable or recently rebuilt Exo, 6 to 12 for a veteran, and anything past 20 only if you want the character to be visibly glitching, like Banshee-44.
- Pick a single short name before the hyphen. Two-syllable names (Cayde, Ada, Micah, Reed) sound the most Destiny; long names read like a different franchise.
- Callsign-style words (Saint, Banshee, Vesper, Harrow) work well for Exos whose human past is completely gone, while ordinary first names suggest they kept some sense of who they were.
- Bungie Names have character and length limits and are shared with your platform name, so check whether the full hyphen-number form is accepted on your account; if it is not, use the name portion as the in-game handle and keep the full Exo name for your clan roster, Discord nickname or character bio.
- If you write Exo lore, give the Exo a reason for the number. A reboot is a traumatic event, and a Guardian who went from 3 to 4 during your story has a plot hook built in.
Frequently asked questions
What does the number in an Exo name mean?
It counts how many times that Exo's mind has been reset. Resets were Clovis Bray's fix for Dissociative Exomind Rejection, the madness that sets in when a human consciousness cannot accept a machine body. Cayde-6 has been wiped six times; Banshee-44 so often that his memory is badly fragmented.
Do all Exos have a number?
Nearly all do, but some characters are known without it in everyday use. Felwinter is usually just called Felwinter, and Elsie Bray is known by her family name rather than as Elisabeth-2. The number is still part of the Exo's formal identity even when people drop it.
Are Exo names gendered?
Exos keep the gender identity of the human mind inside, so names range from Ada and Lakshmi to Cayde and Saint. Many Exos also choose word names with no gender at all, which is why callsign-style names like Banshee fit so naturally.
Can I use these names as my Destiny 2 Bungie Name?
Usually in part. Bungie Names are subject to character restrictions and length limits, so the hyphen-number form may not always be accepted. If it is not, use the name part (for example Vesper or Micah) as your handle and keep the full Exo name for your clan roster, fireteam bio, RP server or fan fiction.
