i offer to call it Zweihaender. this is the direct german translation. that's not bcs i'm German, and i am not. just name Two Handed Sword sounds dry and callously and it sounds more not like a concrete weapon, but like a class of weapon wit multiple variations. actually Zweihaender has the same meaning but it sounds more like a specific weapon, and it sounds awesome.

if you are desperate to change the name something like Two handed broadsword or Hand and a half sword would fit in better than a german word :P

Zweihander is actually a rather modern term. Bidenhander would make more sense.

you know that many nations had their version of two handed sword right? english, french, spanish, german.... this is two handed sword as neutral type and i think it should remain this way. plus we already have flamberge, which is very similar. i vote against this.
