They're called'Xenomorphs'as referenced in Aliens but what was their real name i

Excuse me sir, a what? It's a bug hunt.

I dont think none of the creatures had been given names, the Alien had been give that name in Aliens and i think it means Changing Alien so its used to describe a Alien that has more than one apearence reference to the Cycle maybe.... I dont think thats a ideal name but it stuck. The names for the Space Jockeys are what has been apllied to them from comic book adaptions and fans.... They are not in that universe called Space Jockeys, thats just the same as when we used Blye Guy... Right now the Space Jockeys are refered to as Engineers i prefer term Bio-Engineer but thats just how maybe the crew or Ridley refers to them. I doubt the Engineers may see that as who they are? But we wont know what they call themselves.

"Incestivus Raptus" !!! or "Murdering Thief" !!!

The pseudo-scientific names given them by fan fiction are: Internecivus raptus Linguafoeda Acheronsis Officially they don't have a name, though the adult stage was referred to as "Big Chap" in the same way as the terms facehugger , cherstburster and space jockey were born, on the set of the first movie.

Xenomorph - Aliens, which means "Alien Form" I raptus & L Acheronsis, as NoXWord said are from fan fiction Bug, Beast & Dragon - Alien 3 Serpent - AVP Personally I prefer Xenomorph, just sounds right!

I always thought this is what a Xenomorph would look like...

Well, the xeno featured in Alien was known as Yolanda McGillis when out of frame. While Aliens featured a whole slew of xenos from all over the place, Phillip Towns, Joe Rathburger, Tim Ankleson, and Jessica Swillpot were given the most screen time. Alien 3 gave us the lushly lipped Greta Martinez, and Resurrection sucked too bad to credit those xenos so foolish as to make an appearance in it (same goes for AVP, as most of those xenos were the same dumbasses that showed their silly faces in Ressurection).

I've always liked ''Midnight Mona''.

Seriously, During or after Prometheus, we might actually learn what the Engineers call it. That would be exciting! If they MADE it, they get the naming rights, correct?

In the dark of night and depths of tunnels it has no name other than fear and that is the way the writers and directors perfer. To name it is only temporary, it evolves and changes anyway. You name a pet, a bread, a person, this creature is entirely different and does not live by a names, but search for a name if it makes you happy.

The Predator world is much better defined.... With their language being called and with the books describing their hunts as rites of passage etc etc We need a definitive answer from the creators
