Why did she have a name? I thought storm troopers were given a designation

Storm troopers do have designations, however Phasma is not a storm trooper like the rest of them. She's a general. She has a name because she volunteered, she wasn't kidnapped. She's a true believer and that is what makes her special/different. I don't think it was for diversity's sake, I honestly think it's because she was written that way. Is she kindof a sucky character? yeah. Is she dead? probably not. Was the intention to eventually build her up into something better? Probably.

Because they were trying to make her into a strong independent female villain to fill out the diversity checklist, but failed pretty miserably. She's not really a significant character at all like they intended.

Also she's secretly part of the Sith Triumvirate in command of the First Order (Kylo Ren, General Hux, and Phasma), but acting as a Stormtrooper Captain. Why? Who knows. They probably couldn't think of anything else to make her more interesting.

wat
"Finn" said he had no name other than his designation

Clone troopers. Cody, Bly, Rex, Wolf, Echo, Fives. They head designations too but had nicknames to be unique.

My best guess is that Poe called him Finn because of FN. Not entirely sure about Phasma.

Uh, yeah I know in the EU some clones had names but that's not my point because clones/=/storm troopers and the republic /=/ empire /=/ new order.

In the new order, the reason they didn't give them names is because they wanted to prevent individuality and independent thought so they purposely didn't give them things that made them unique like names. I was just curious as to why they let her have a name. Anyway have a nice day.

leaders need to be unique. shes fairly high up it seemed so she was high enough to warrant a name
