I’ll give you guys the full story later (on phone right now) but I need a name for a teenage tech-based teen heroine who comes from an alternate future where things went wrong and she’s trying to fix it. I’ll just say she’s inspired by Impulse, Booster Gold, Blue Beetle (Jaime Reyes), and various power armor/technology heroes.
Thanks.
Paladin
Templar
Tesseract (Tess-Eract maybe?)
Clockwork
Epoch
Chronette

Alright, here's the full backstory:
Kiara Shields is the name of a 17-year-old super resistance fighter from an alternate future that could possibly happen, and she was sent back in time as part of a last ditch effort to prevent it. In this future, Scorpion has taken over the world, and supervillains run everything. Meanwhile, superheroes who try to fight for valor are executed one at a time. This has created a world which breeds villainy, and those who don't take part suffer. The last line of defense is the Paragon Coalition, an organization of superheroes and freedom fighters named after the Paragons of the present.
Of them, one of their members is Kiara. She doesn't have inherent superpowers, but this was mitigated by the fact that she inherited a super prototype nanotech suit that gives her super strength, durability, flight, energy blasts and a wide variety of weapons and gadgets. This came from her father, Kieron Shields, who developed the tech and then destroyed the rest when Scorpion was about to acquire said technology to boost their own forces. Sadly, he died in a heroic sacrifice in the process.
As one final desperate push, the Paragon Coalition launched a full-on attack on Scorpion's base. It was suicide, but it was the only option to potentially save the future. Scorpion had finally gotten a time machine that would enable them to get futuristic technology and strengthen them even more. But that time machine would be the perfect way to travel to the present of CoT. Normal humans cannot survive going through the time machine because it wasn't made to traverse living things. However, Kiara with her special one-of-a-kind nanotech suit would be protected from the harmful effects and thus could traverse to the past. In the final attack, the suicide mission led to everyone else involved getting killed in action, but they made it far enough to get Kiara to the time machine. She said goodbye to the present she knew, and traveled to the main CoT world with the hopes that her future could be prevented.
Here's what she looks like:
Her costume is gold and black, and pretty tight-fitting. It completely covers her from the neck down. She has long blonde hair, and stands tall at 5'9". The costume itself is derived from advanced nanotech, and thus doesn't need armor or built in weapons because it can create those on its own.
Her power set:
As mentioned, the suit gives her super strength, durability, flight, energy blasts along with a bunch of weapons and gadgets. She proclaims that it will give her any weapon that she needs, as it's basically a "do-anything robot" that can adapt to any situation and give her whatever is convenient as a countermeasure. Just for example, it allowed her to traverse time itself when it would've been fatal for anyone else, because the suit protected her organic body. This is largely inspired by Blue Beetle's scarab armor but instead of being alien (or magic, whatever DC is trying to push), it's futuristic Earth nanotech.
Her inspirations (on top of my own ideas) are Impulse/Kid Flash II (comes from a bad future and sticks with the present), Booster Gold (tech-based hero from the future), and Blue Beetle/Jaime Reyes (similar concept of how the suit works).
So... any ideas?
Cyber-Girl
Teen Tech
Cyber Punk
Full Metal
Technomancer
Hmmm. Just an idea after reading the backstory. Her suit generates a small force field protecting her head. The field is invisible save for one thing...a golden halo.
(BTW is this doesn't fit your concept just ignore the suggestion. I just think that makes for an interesting effect.)
Joan of Arc
Arc Angel
Angel (Maybe with energy wings visible only in flight)
Golden Girl
Goldy Lockes
Circuit
Tech girl
Golden Opportunity (or "GO Girl" as the press likes to call her)
H.O.R.N.E.T. (the name her father gave the suit)

Um, maybe Arsenal, but that's the name of a tech heroine in a book I read.
Be Well!
Fireheart
Also a DC character. But it's a real word so it can't be copyrighted. As long as the character in question doesn't also look like other iterations of characters with the same name.
"Let the past die. Kill it if you have to."
I read this book recently too.
True. This part of what makes it a good name. Clear, concise, and free from copyright!
"A sad spectacle. If they be inhabited, what a scope for misery and folly. If they be not inhabited, what a waste of space." ~ Thomas Carlyle
If she has guns or lasers... Shooting Heroine
The direction I am going with this is as a warning from the future, or put another way, as a warning of what we could become if we don't change what we do today.
[i]Bishop[/i] of X-men fame is the first example to come to mind, but that would be too direct an association. And choosing another chess piece would seem like just a cheap knock-off.
So, of course, this has [i]Jacob [u][b]Marley[/b][/u][/i] and the [i]Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come[/i] written all over it. But though [i][u][b]Christmas[/b][/u][/i] would be a really awesome name for her, the connection is only tangential at best. But I still think that's a great name, as is Marley or Marlee.
Another character from literature this reminds me of, is actually another Dickens character: [i][u][b]Pip[/b][/u][/i] from [i]Great Expectations[/i]. Basically, Pip has the choice to follow a good example and a bad example in the book, and I since I don't want to spoil the ending for anyone, It is a good name for someone who has the power to forge their future one way or another.
[i][u][b]Foreshadow[/b][/u][/i] would be another obvious selection, and it has a nice ring to it, too; especially if you give her aesthetics a dark appearance.
Finally I think a more tragically romantic name would be [i][u][b]Cassandra[/b][/u][/i], or [i][u][b]Kassandra[/b][/u][/i], the Trojan woman who was cursed to be able to know the future but no one would ever believe her.
[hr]I like to take your ideas and supersize them. This isn't criticism, it is flattery. I come with nothing but good will and a spirit of team-building. If you take what I write any other way, that is probably just because I wasn't very clear.
With the foreshadow name other names like Omen, Premonition, etc could work.

"Let the past die. Kill it if you have to."
All these suggestions got me to come up with my own. How does this name sound?
[b]Goldwing[/b]
I imagine when she flies her suit gives her golden wings to go with it, like how Blue Beetle gets insect wings.
Goldwing is okay, but doesn’t really invoke her theme beyond the look of her armor.
If that’s what you want to go with, then that’s fine, but Tomorrow Girl could bring home the future aspect and advanced tech angle you’re looking for.
And it’s sounds optimistic, which would be exactly the tone you would want coming from an apocalyptic future.

I like Goldwing. Add some technowings and the name is perfect.

Sounds like she rides a motorcycle...

Chrona
Chronometra
Skuld (Norse mythology - one of the norns, she was the one related to the future (which is why she’s a little kid/technogenius in Oh! My Goddess ;) )
Futura
Those that oppose her might call her 'Spoiler'. The greek version of Skuld may be 'Clotho'
Be Well!
Fireheart
Her opponents might also refer to her as “that miserable little meddling snot-nosed brat” (if she’s especially young) :)
(“And I’d have gotten away with it, too, if it weren’t for you meddling kids!”)
I really like Clotho, it’s classic and fitting. Granted there’s a DC comic character of the same name, but that character is also based on the Greek legend and seems to bear no resemblance to your time-traveling heroine so there seems to be no problem there.
I’d recommend having some sort of tool like an augmented reality with AI capabilities called “SPINDLE” to stick with the theme. It could be a cyberware implant or built into her suit.
An acronym could be “Spatial Phenomenon Information Neuro-Display Logic Enhancer”. It combines temporal energy sensors, a historical database, and a long-range radio wave scanner/information collector to let her know when and how to alter the probabilities of future events, allowing her to change the thread of fate just like her mythological namesake. She then uses that info to guide her in her mission to fix the future using her physical super powers.
... To reweave the future...
Clotho sounds like you're spitting up a hairball every time you say it, though. Since Clotho is one of the fates, why don't you just call her [i][b][u]Fate[/u][/b][/i]. It works on that and other levels.

Dr. Fate is way too prominent a superhero, I was assuming the OP wanted something original.

I like that too... Obscure but cool and fitting.
Psshaw she's nothing like Doctor Fate, and without the "doctor" I don't see much of a connection at all
