Why isn't the German dMw called tMg?

Question: Why do the German dMw use an English name, why are they not called [tMg] "Totes Mann-Gehen"?

If you're German, surely you'd give yourself a name in your own language? I would be unlikely to join "Marche morte d'hommes" or "Νεκρό περπάÏ,,ημα αÏ,,όμων" because they're not English and I am.

Just curious as to what they say about it.

Good question, but have no idea, maybe they think they can hit a bigger audiance?

Walking is "laufen" in German Arithon.
Gehen means going. Hope you don't mind me adjusting this.
 
Anyway, not sure if you once knew about our old mainpage but there were some more dMw-clans around and dead Men walking just has a good ring to it.

Actually, laufen means to walk, It should be lauft when you talk about "Mann" i think, but I prefer Wanderen (sounds better though it means more like coming and roaming together.)

Anyhow, who would like to join a clan named "Tote Männer Wandernd" (ok maybe it doens't sound so bad after saying it 10 times in a row, but I prefer Dead Men Walking any time of the day).  TMW isn't that bad as a wing either.

p.s. "Tote" is enough as it means dead person(s), so "Tote Wandernd" is also ok, but sounds even worse.
