Creating one's very own Chapter or Order of Sororitas is the real fun of 40k isn't?

Given that even canonical names can be very close I wouldn't worry to much about having a noun or adjective in common. It's a big galaxy and a chapter in the Segmentum Tempestus isn't going to worry about being confused with one in Segmentum Ultima for example.

I have occasionally wondered exactly who exactly names Space Marine Chapters in-universe... I mean who thought Marines Malevolent was a good name? (and they seem determined to live up to it).

If you ask me colors and heraldry are the real problem. Just about ever color and sigil seem to have been taken...
