I need a name

Post by Laphtiya »

Sorry if this isn't where I should be posting this but we don't have a fan fiction section. I am about a third into the first part of my mini story and I am introducing a Harkonnen commander. However I am trying to think of a good name for him.

This character will be hard, fair but brutal and takes his punishments to the extreme. For example if some troops survived an attack and fellback in order to inform their commander about the situation. He would take this as a cowardice and simply kill them to make an example because in his mind he would have known that his troops had fallen when they wouldn't have reported in.

Paul of Dune was so bad it gave me a seizure that dislocated both of my shoulders and prolapsed my anus.

Actually "Commander Hakkad" sounds good. Nice to see some of you guys having fun with it also :wink:

I'll use it for now see how it goes :)
Thanks and don't worry everyone who helped out will get a thanks put on the end or at the start of the story.

One of the things I hate about KJA is that all of his names sound like Star Wars names. No surprise, but in Dune we don't have that many 'wierd' names. Most of them are actually from one Earth culture or another or at least derivatives of them.
