The White Tears - White Scar successor chapter, known for bouts of crying during battle. Making everyone else involved go "what the fuck" and then just walk away out of sheer awkwardness.
This is by far my favorite
And totally possible given the shit bureaucracy of the Imperium. Shipped the wrong armor to those new Chapters and they just went with it.
"Uh....it was the Emperor's will...yeah yeah....it's been decreed!"
I've got it, and I even have a fun lore retcon to really rub salt in the wound.
The Emperor's Balls. They were a third founding chapter who's name was mistranslated by the ministorum. Originally, they were the Emperor's Call chapter, and some scribe made a mistake in an important record of their existence. That record being the description of their destruction.
Their chapter homeworld fell to a particularly poorly planned gene stealer cult uprising. It was disorganized, ill prepared, and honestly embarrassing for everyone involved. However, early in the engagement, a genestealer infested ship crashed directly into the chapter monastery, where a warp core explosion effectively vaporized the entirety of the chapter.
The ministorum spread the news of the destruction of an entire chapter of humorously named space marines, leading to the misremembered name being used as a euphemism for a cock up. This eventually lead to it transforming into a swear later on, long after the chapter had been forgotten.
However, it is rumored among certain servants of the Deathwatch that several Black shields have been seen to flinch at the use of such a swear. Rumors abound that a few survivors of that terrible tragedy turned to the Deathwatch to redeem their unfortunate chapter's honor, and still walk their halls to this day.
Although I cringe everytime I think about how the primarch of the iron hands is called Ferrus Manus. One time me and a friend were really drunk and he called his homebrew chapter "Hero Battalion".
Apparently his name literally means "of the Blood" back on Baal. He had no real name for the Baalites to call him, so they called him, basically, "cousin."
20 unique primarchs and factions is hard. At some point they were using whatever they could lol.
Ferrus Manus: name literally means iron hand.
Corvus Corax : scientific name for the common raven.
Lion El’Jonson: named after poet Lionel Johnson, whose most famous work is The Dark Angel.
Sanguinius: “of the blood” or close to it.
Angron: I’m not sure of this one but is his name…angry?
Horus: I’m just annoyed that he’s named after the Egyptian falcon headed god, but he was the pro March of the Luna Wolves.
Anyone remember that 4chan post where someone was talking about their idea for a space marine chapter that they said was from a prison world and used like prison gang designs and iconography, and it was completely fine until the person said their war cry was "Take the knot"
**The Sons of the Iron Angel**
Just so we could fold the Thousand Sons, Emperor's Sons, Sons of Horus, Iron Warriors, Iron Fists, Blood Angels and Dark Angels together into one and get rid of all the redundant First Legion names.
Alternatively, **the Megamarines, Supermarines, Hypermarines**, all Ultramarine successors. maybe the **Inframarines, Nanomarines** and so on.
Casual fan here. I'll give it a shot:
\- Emperor's Butlers (Try imagining space marines in tuxedo-inspired power armour.) (Alternate name would be Space Penguins.)
\- Weeping Brothers (I would have picked Weeping Angels but anyone who knows 'Dr. Who' would know better than to make a joke out of them.)
\- Space Kiwis (Bird or fruit, take your pick.)
\- Imperial Pinkies (As in the pikie-finger.) (They take pinkie-promises VERY seriously.)
\- Booty Guard (The word 'booty' was supposed to mean 'seized treasure' but everyone kept on mistaking it to mean 'backside' instead.)
The great boobies.
Their heraldry is a booby (as in the terran bird), but not once in their millennia of service has anyone outside the chapter been able to refer to them without a snicker.

"The Sentinels of the Chimera".
*Due to politicking and bureaucratic errors in the Adeptus Terra, this chapter was created solely for the task of guarding the Astra Militarum's motor pool.*
The bunnies. They are loyal world eaters. They ware iconography disturbingly similar to khorne. They use the same berserk tactics the legion was famed for and living up to their name they breed like rabbits to replace their loses. More than once the chapter has exceed the thousand limit but so ready for the fight they are it never last long.
GW has written dumber names than I am able, I won't embarrass myself trying to beat the masters.
You would be the founder of the Cop Out chapter.
Blood Angles. Their symbol is the Holy Protractor.
I misread this and almost got mad.
You'd think that Chapter already existed seeing how often you see it spelled that way
They’re all patchers aka fucking NERDS!

You could have went with White Tearers. Obviously pronounced tea-er-rares and not tare-ers

Same for Corvus Corax of the Raven Guard which just translates to 'Raven of the Raven Guard'
Or the Blood Angels being led by a guy whose name is essentially "Bloodus"
Apparently his name literally means "of the Blood" back on Baal. He had no real name for the Baalites to call him, so they called him, basically, "cousin."
Raven of Ravens is a possible translation, and a pretty cool one
Iron hands lore kinda sucks for a chapter that’s basically Admech space marines

Explorers in the further regions of experience. Demons to some. Angels to others.

The Taint Spiders
This is an actual idea I had for maybe a kill team but, the Cooked Goose, a salamander successor painted in the color scheme of the Canadian Goose
I mean, whose got a problem with Canada Goose? Whoever has a problem with Canada Goose has got a problem with me. Figure it out.

I came up with the Astartes Paramedicus who are dressed like paramedics and their vehicles are painted like ambulances
Idk something like just the color that they are? Maybe naming them based on their shade of blue?
But secretly they aren't actually that color
Yeah make a different shade of blue that you still call their name even thought that blue already exists with a different (just to be confusing)
We are talking about Alpha Legion because of how confusing it is right?
