I'm building a character for some short stories and am looking for a strong name for him. In your opinion, what would be a strong name for a "lone survivor" type of character?

I can think of a few that I know. Michael Howe, Kurt Austin , Nathan McBride, Wayne"Whack" Macomber, Bill Sievert, George "Smooth" Herres to name a few. Michael Howe was my cousin and a Green Beret in Vietnam and my best friend. He was a great soldier and teacher and we both would be honored if you used his name. May he rest in peace !
