Need a name for an Oktober Guard figure...

Stumped on this one. I have an Oktober Guard machine gunner (carries a Marauder RPK) all set to go, and am stumped on a name for him! Because I used a Tunnel Rat head I figured he would hail from Siberia, but trying to track down any name information is like pulling teeth. Anybody out there have suggestions?

Alekhin was the name of the Yakut tracker (Siberian equivalent to a Native American) from Louis L'Amour's "Last of the Breed" (one of my all-time favorite books.)

Thanks Chief! :-)

That's one idea, if I don't get any others, I'll use that.

Naming OG guys is tough...other than Blue (whom I named for the streak in her hair) it's been a lot of head scratching. :-/

A few months back I believe GITrekker was looking for some names for new Oktober Guard customs and I posted a list of possible codenames.

Unfortunately I think nthe thread was on the old board and it's probably gone now...

It is possible he saved those names to peruse.

If not I can dig through my Oktober Guard research and post the names again. Give me a day or two.

(Maybe I'll PM you my OG characters to give you an idea)

"Yermak" - he was the leader of the Cossacks that first took Siberia from Kuchum Khan.

I like Akady, from the detective in Gorky Park.

i've always been partial to 'Garrison Keillor'

just something to think about.

Okay, I'll arrive at my decision what to name him, using the above suggestions, through a very scientific means....

I'll put all the names in a hat and the one I pick he gets. :-D

alot of my cutom Oktober Guard figs are named after russian authors and characters from folktales.

Dostovesky(sp?) wrote a novel "The House of the Dead" about a man in a Siberian prison. Good name probably found there.
