can units/armies be names

[Azlahn]

I came to think of one thing. Apart from naming cities, units and factions, wouldn't it be interesting if you could also name your newly born family members? It could of course be abused, but it would also allow you get more attached to your empire. Maybe you would even start to care for them and not just have them killed off in case they have bad traits (or at least feel bad about it when you do this. (Then, you might also regret the name that you gave them and purposefully have them charge uphill into a mass of waiting bayonets (as you have always done.))) (Actually I'm not entirely sure if there are others around here who share my nasty tendency for general mistreatment (pun intended)).

...

I really like parentheses.

If all of my Generals had their own custom name it might possibly persuade me to stop throwing people with awful traits straight into a row of spears :P Or maybe not.

Sadly I doubt this paticular feature will be in Empire. It would be great if it was though.

However, what you can do is to name your general's bodyguards. I simply ought to have a group of them called "The Baby Sitters". Also, when playing as the Persians, I will name them Immortals just for the sake of it.
