Need help for OC name

[yisetab28 89]

I've been writing a fanfic for a while, but I still need a name for one of the characters, a tank commander. I've been trying to figure out a name that would represent him, or any good name in general, but couldn't find one, so I'm asking you guys. The said commander already participated in previous wars, and because of that, has a lot of experience with firearms and combat tactics, but also because of that, he suffers from PTSD. Based on this info, how do you think he should be named?

Possible you have a picture of him? And if not, could you through him through the Pony Creator? And perhaps a cutie mark? (Don't need the picture of the cutie mark, just want to know what it looks like)

Calibro Magno , it mean " Big caliber", and could be referred to his experience with fire arms, even those like 50 mm or else.

Btw, I think it will be a good name for a soldier character .

No picture, I'm not drawing colts yet. I won't use PC, and even if I did, I don't think his physical appearance would matter much in choosing a name for him.

Sounds good, he does have less experience with big calibers though. He's the commander and was a scout in a previous war, the gunner specializes in using the tank's main guns. The only disadvantage is that it sounds way too cheesy and out of place for the character.

Too cheesy. The fic is here (http://www.fimfiction.net/story/256918/symphony-of-steel), and if you read it, you'll see it's more of a darker fic centered on war instead of a big action "Totally good and awesome guys VS Totally idiotic and unskilled guys" fic.

What about Grounded Tread? (or something along those lines)

 

Not only does this reference him being a tank commander (alluding to the Tank treads), it also refers to his past as a scout (as he had to 'tread' ground)

Metal Master? Iron Bullet? Any of tthese sound appealing?

Hrmm...So your going for more of a serious vibe eh? Well, pony names do tend to be pun-based which may defuse some of that intimidation factor. Hmm, how about....

 

Lone Wolf? With it's hint of ferocity? On the positive side, many military groups tend to go by animal based names, so for inspiration you could just look up the things pilots painted on the sides of their planes, or navy boats and the like.

 

Wanton Rancor? Hmm...could swear i've heard the name General Rancor taken from somewhere already....

Ooh! Or perhaps just string together the various code names together!   Like, Charlie Bravo!
