I’m writing a science fiction story about a rebellion. The main character (12 year old [name\_m]Rami[/name\_m]) finds herself reunited with her long lost older brother, who is working with the good guys (the rebels). I need a soldierly name for the general. It can be male or female, but the general is strong, but warm hearted. The general welcomes this young, useless [name\_m]Rami[/name\_m] into her base so she can remain with her brother. Help me please!!! ---

Are you looking for first or last name or both? What origin? Could you give me examples of what you’re looking for? [name\_m]Westbrook[/name\_m] [name\_f]Starr[/name\_f] [name\_m]Wilder[/name\_m] [name\_m]Reynolds[/name\_m] [name\_m]Newman[/name\_m] Hicks [name\_m]Powers[/name\_m] [name\_u]Morgan[/name\_u] Cordova this sounds really cool [name\_m]Costa[/name\_m] Gretzky Ping Sorry if you wanted first names. I just assumed that you wanted surnames since it’s the military (right?). ---

Since this general is warmhearted he/she would let [name\_m]Rami[/name\_m] call him/her by they’re first name. Everyone else though would call them [name\_m]General[/name\_m] (last name). Thanks for these suggestions though. ---
