So what interesting names have you encountered?

I had a Sophie Walmsley show up as a ground force commander. Any relation Steve? :D

Commander Herb Rater is a decorated war hero in my campaign.

Can't imagine him as anything else but a weedhead who posts youtube videos reviewing weed strains.

Once you look for it, you find it



Greatest combat admiral of the navy no doubt. His 'underhanded' tactics keep him from being respected higher in line. One day parthenogenetic genderless aliens will be his undoing.

I have Commander Harry Carey. I'm thinking his parents either figured he wouldn't amount to anything (Hari Kari), or they were old film buffs (Actors Harry Carey and Harry Carey Jr.)

I'm thinking they might have been Cubs fans.

Or they could just enlist his subordinate.  I imagine if they are fighting against Dick Punch, the perfect counter is Mr. Knob-block.

His name is Richard but he made an enemy early on in the admin staff teams and the edits they made will forever haunt him.

The only thing in the universe higher than Commander Herb rater is his kill count, so HighCommand sort of agreed to leave him be. After all, if he gets the job done, does it matter if a strange smell comes from his cabin and he shouts "420blazit!" before destroying enemy vessels?

So I am currently playing as Command and Conquer GDI, but with alternate history, where Nod didn't really come to be.(on Earth that is) ..Supposedly at least. I just noticed that the two decades running Earth governor was named "Kane"

..So that era would be the Decades Kane.

"Hola, me nix Cain. What is Nod? Question Tiberium tech, I nuke you!"
