Numeric or Symbolic: What Works Best for Borg Names?

Hi everyone,

I’m trying to decide on the best approach for Borg names and could use some advice.

Are strict numerical designations more accurate to Borg culture, or can symbolic elements be added for storytelling purposes? I’ve seen some creators use unit numbers, ranks, or even hybrid names that hint at a former identity. What do you think works best for immersion and clarity?

If you’ve written fan fiction, roleplayed, or designed characters inspired by the Borg, how did you handle naming? I’d love to hear your thoughts, examples, and creative ideas for developing compelling Borg names.

Thanks in advance.
