Up to chapter 10 in Hump's book.
Better way to come up with codenames? Personality or job?

I use codenames like: Jazz (he's a smooth operator), Punchline (no sense of humor), Wise Guy(sardonic smart ass), Old School (older, likes to talk about his experiences), Chatter Box (constant talker), Cosmos (both an astronaut and spacey)

I finished Sgt Humpty's book the night before last. Couldn't put it down. It's fun to see all the Tankers in the storyline, and it went fast. It would probably work well as a Dio story as well since he made so many of the customs.
As far as codenames, I guess it depends on the personality you want the character to have. I agree if you can make one based on character traits those seem more fun. If it can have a dual meaning then even better, like Short-Fuze. Jogun has a nice list there based on personalities. I suppose you may not have too much use for Computer-Nerd, or Tech-Geek, so Mainframe and HardDrive work better. But say Salvo, Leatherneck or Bazooka works just as well.

Need help with a name.
In the Joe fanfic, I was using Philip Alexander Rey as the end product of my secret society's breeding program. My version of Serpentor. He had the "dna" of all the famous people because of selective breeding. So since that was essentially my concept, I still have that idea. But need a name. Current name is Alexander Khan. Not sure I like Khan as a last name and need a middle name. Want it to reflect various blood he has in him. Suggestions? In the fanfic, Cobra was a group split from the Coil (the secret society), headed by someone that the Coil had selected who ended up betraying them. In the new version, that basically stays but now Cobra is called Wyvern. Commander Draconis was the Order Of The Winged Dragon's first attempt at their "ultimate leader". He has almost the same bloodlines as Khan, but is older. His last name is Tepes, as he's a direct descendent of Vlad Tepes. He didn't like what the Order wanted for him, so he split off his own group.

A Khan surname would make him Muslim, and to match him bloodwise with your Draconis character he would need to be Turkish or Turkic.
The guys who took hold of the Silk Road first Göktürks - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Modern Kazak dynasties List of Kazakh khans - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Although he could maybe represent the Cossack peoples but there doesn't seem to be great wealth there with that background. Cossacks - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Ataman is both a name and a title for Cossacks. Roman or Romanovych (Patranomic middle name) would work if you moved north to the Kingdom of Galicia-Volhynia, but Khan probably wouldn't work so well as a last name. Kingdom of Galicia More Turkic History than you could shake a stick at Khazars - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Oh Hey look I can friend Alex Khan on Facebook: Alexander Kahn | Facebook ^^^^^^^
