I guess this is the best place to ask

I'm trying to come up with names for custom characters, but not having much luck

Need some "tough guy" or bodyguard nicknames. Y'know similar to ones like Rocco, Bruno, Knuckles, Spike, Butch, Skull, Moose, etc.

start grabbing first names of people you don't like and smash them into discriptions of household items.

tommy two lights, jimmy the shoe, bob and his belly, etc....

How about these?

If they're just bodyguards, why do they need so much 'depth'? Unless you're creating full characters, in which case develop their personalities and see where they lead you.

I've already used the names mentioned which is why I'm asking for more suggestions.

The names are not for bodyguard characters. I only mentioned bodyguards because that's the best example of the "type" of person I thought of which would have that type of name. Simple one or two syllable names like 'Ox'

I came up with Moose & Rocco from the end of "Caddyshack"

Tough guys, hired muscle, goons and the like

Some of my Dreadnoks have names like that.

Blackthorne, Cole, Deke, Luther, Macon, Nash, Reese, Roland, Rourke, Sonny...

Slim, Tiny, Smalls, sometimes the opposite works depending on the character.

Bull, Chubs, Jaws, Bear, Spike, Bubba, Dozer.

That's all I got.
