Hey guys. First of all, I would just like to say that I am on the fence whether this idea that the 6 stones will spell out Thanos. I'm not sure if this thing is a coincidence, or a deliberate "easter egg' or "hint" for Marvel fans. If, this was deliberate I would like to point out something: none of the the other stones have been named using a title/name from the comics. A tesseract is a 4th dimensional cube that folds in on itself (sometimes used in mathematical wormhole theories). Aether is a 19th century word used to describe the empty space of our universe (the fabric of space that holds it together). An orb is a basic spherical shape. And a sceptre is a wand or staff. That being said, it is possible that the last two letters may not be the same as comic book items.

Also, I don't think that the words have to specifically represent a 'container'. If you think about it, "Terseract", "Aether", "Orb", and "Scepter" were what those 4 stones were referred to in the movies. Regardless of whethere the name is a container or the stone itself, these four names were used to identify these four stones. 'H' and 'N' will not necessarily need to stand for the container holding the stone, they will just represent whatever these stones are called in the next movies. Also, I think that each letter represents the stone in the way it was introduced. So far the space stone was introduced as the Teseract, the reality stone was introudced as the Aether, the power stone was introduced as the orb, and the mind stone was introduced as the sceptre.

So, for purposes of trying to predict what the last two stones may be, I jotted down the following using the template *Name (Stone)[Shape]:

Teseract (Space)[Cube] H Aether (Reality)[Fluid/A-symetric] N Orb (Power)[Sphere] Sceptre (Mind)[Ellipsoid] 

The last 2 stones are (Time) and (Soul). It is very possible that each stone (or the first appearance of that stone) will come in a different shape. There are several shapes that these last 2 stones could be introduced in. (i.e. Prism, Cone, Cylinder).

I think that one plausible theory I have seen is that Hiemdall is in possession of the soul stone. His eyes glow orange (similar to how Ronan's and Starlord's eyes turned purple when they embraced the power stone). He has been quoted as saying, “From here I can see nine realms and ten trillion souls". And lastly, in Thor's vision (in Avengers AoU) Hiemdall's eyes were white (as if the stone was taken from him and he lost its power). If this is true, then the remaining letter could be: N (Time)[????]

Keep on guessing everybody!
