This queen really was so very young. That single question, that hint of uncertainty behind it, was enough to spark Rogue's protective nature toward the young woman. She wanted to look after her, help her through what would doubtlessly be a trying experience as she settled into this new role, and just be there if she needed it.
"I'm not sure that the Colonel or any of the others would feel comfortable giving you a name," she started hesitantly, trying to explain something that was more than a little complicated. "With the commander and the crew, part of the time the names were probably given as a bit of a joke, because wraith don't use names like we do, and now it's because it's more natural for humans to have something to call the wraith they're dealing with regularly. You though, my queen, I don't think they'll know how to act with you, and it'll likely take a while before they're comfortable enough to consider giving you a name."
She was quiet for a moment, then carefully offered, "I could choose one for you... if you'd like. It would make your interactions with the Atlantis crew easier. I don't believe they'd had much experiences with queens who weren't trying to destroy them, and having a proper title by which to address you would be a good start to building a positive relationship."
