I'm doing some sort of scramble for NPC companion names. Basically, I just want different names for some of these companions, so, I'll let you guys, the community, assist me in this. Please, list up to at least 3 names for companions, and I shall write them down on a small slip of paper, put them into a hat, and choose them randomly and name those companions.
Closed.

Michonne--A strong black woman with a sword
Abraham or Shapiro -- A Jewish guy with the kippah and black clothing. hahaha *Note- Has high persuasion skills for some reason.

Toyama Yamashiro- a man torn by honor and values (Hagakure and stuff) that was thought to him by his grandfather (you know boshin war hero satsuma clan betrayed by the Emperor Mikasa Meiji he fought for {satsuma rebalion}, all that) and the harsh reality of modern warfare he was honor bound to kill his superior for war crimes vs the Indians and executing POWs. As this is not "the way of the warrior". now he is a ronin in search of a master.(handy with two handed and rifles, has a high trainer (or tactics) skill.)
Johana "black mist" Smith- an Ojibwe (not sure about the spelling) medicine woman from the reservation, she was a nurse/orderly at the local hospital near her reservation. Not a big believer of all this "Indian spirit crap", she was quite trying to be white forgetting the ways of her people and the hardship they endured. But her home it became a battlefield between two peoples that did not belive in nutralitry after all these are just "red skins", her neighbors caught in the crossfire course they live in high ground and "that's an advantageous position". In the slaughter that ensued he lost all, but the "spirits" {a possible post-traumatic reaction...} started talking to her they told her that to heal his tribe she must learn the ways of war.

So he bombed the CEO's car only to find that the whole family of said CEO was in the car, he killed 2 children, the driver, the CEO and the wife. And he is hunted both by the authorities and by his past {though he does not talk about that}. (good with grenades (throwing) and tracking).
Ariva Singh- a Sikh man who served in the British army, and traveled to the Us to support his dream of freedom and success, he started his own fabric shop. The only trouble comes at the worst possible time (and sells to drop), and debt is not good. so he ironed his old uniform, and now he sells his skills as a military consultant as he was an officer in British service and he has seen action.
Ira Gold esq.- a Jewish lawyer that immigrated from Austro-Hungry (Lemberg, now called Lviv, technically Ukraine) in search of a better life, he heard the call of his country at the beginning, and volunteered to prove his loyalty. Only to be persecuted by his own countryman (explanation: in ww1 500,000 jews served in the Russian army, many of them got military honors. But the command treated them hostile and there were acts of antisemitism in the ranks. In the german army at WW1 "about 10,000 volunteered for duty, and over 100,000 out of a total German-Jewish population of 550,000 served during World War One. Some 78% saw front-line duty, 12,000 died in battle, over 30,000 received decorations, and 19,000 were promoted. Approximately 2,000 Jews became military officers and 1,200 became medical officers". (Rigg, Bryan: Hitler's Jewish Soldiers, p.72) and yet Judenzählung, and prior to WW1, we all know about the Dreyfus thing in France.) so when his officer started harassing him to the amusement of other soldiers he punched him in the face and challenged him to a sabre duel (though frowned upon and considered an anachronism they were legal in Aus-Hun until 1917 and were fought), the officer being determined "to teach this like a lesson", accepted. As Lemberg Uni had a good fencing master, Ira won (most sword duels were not to the death, contrary to pop culture). Now he is hunted by his former "brothers in arms" and the relatives of the vengeful officer.
Juliet Benois- a woman from Appalachia, born poor she learned to hunt and fish, as food was scarce to skin animals to make clothes for warmth and build a shelter from next to nothing, to survive no matter what.

Roberto Zapata- a young man from Mexico who read too many adventure novels, and decided to become an adventurer for the thrills of it and joins a mercenary band. He has much to learn about modern war...and its horrors.
Leopold von Shnautwitz- a medic who was drafted but on his first combat he froze and ran away, later plagued by guilt he returned only to see that his whole unit been mascaraed (survivors guilt). Now he seeks battle as redemption for past cowardice and to learn to be brave.

After witnessing a black man killed by a group of whites, Carver left the city. She attended a series of schools before earning his diploma at Minneapolis High School in Minneapolis, Kansas. Carver applied to several colleges before being accepted at Highland College in Highland, Kansas. When she arrived, however, they rejected him because of her race. Her art teacher, Etta Budd, recognized Carver's talent for painting flowers and plants; she encouraged her to study botany at Iowa State Agricultural College in Ames. Carver started his academic career as a researcher and teacher. In 1911, Carver complained that her laboratory had not received the equipment which was promised 11 months before. As a reply she got only treats, so she picked up her things and left.

Armed with only a bag of groceries and a now useless cell phone, he is quickly beaten to a pulp. He seems to believe he has somehow appeared in a computer game and the strange fact that he seems to get wounded but not die and he recovers from his terrible wounds in a matter of days seems to convince him he is inside a video game (whatever that is...).
Niratti Gupta- a "merchant woman" (Smuggler) from Surinam that got robbed and double-crossed, her husband Mohinder dying in the prosses. Now offers her services as a financial consultant, also quite handy with a gun after all "sea trade" (smuggling) is a dangerous business.

If you want to go more of a meme route, put in a Big Boss reference in the form of an old soldier who becomes disillusioned with his country and is trying to start a nation of mercenaries. "We have no nation, no philosophy, no ideology. We go where we're needed, fighting not for country, not for government, but for ourselves. We need no reason to fight. We fight because we are needed. We will be the deterrent for those with no other recourse. We are soldiers without borders, our purpose defined by the era we live in."
