Yes, the Mando'a glossary can help when choosing a name. I'm Darth Taiter as an ID, but for my character name, I just use a Mando familiar of my name to come up with Mir'ika as I am known as "little Miriam" by my family in RL. But, I gave my character the official first name of Mirdin, derived from Mando for smart though Mir'sheb would have been more descriptive LOL Tarvos is the name of one of the moons of Saturn I thought sounded cool (I love space stuff!). Looking to astronomical names might give you some good ideas.
As for armor materials, some are easier to work with than others, and as was mentioned, differ in costs. I started with trash can armor, but found pvc foamboard (brand name, Sintra) much easier to work with and not too much more costly.
For the steel-looking color, I'm using a metallic grey or hammered metallic Krylon Fusion, a spraypaint for plastics. I also have an airbrush I plan to use for a few details, but would probably suggest using a similar grey color in airbrush inks to get what you want.
Good Luck!
