This kind of thinking is exactly the route I've been taking, from Latin variants to Greek/Roman Gods (celestial bodies). The Latin makes total sense in the context of, say, Taxonomy and History.

Glad to see you're thinking in the same way. That being said, I'd rather focus on the 'mind' part than the 'hive' part, since we want to break away from directly associating with the chain itself. Yours is clever to avoid the 'directness' though, I'll give you that! I might indeed consider the 'Animus' part as a new open-door =)
