Kapitan Names, just for fun
 
I did this for a flight sim forum I was on and collected a huge library of great names. I'd like to solicit some good commander names for SH3 & SH4.

My recent career just ended for Padi Muffdiver. He's enjoying some time in Argentina right now.

My new SH3 kapitan is Herr Ball, named in honor of my two cats.

Are there some others I can add to my library? Of course assuming the names are politically correct and in good taste, i.e., my old Kapitan Kolonscope may have been a questionable choice.

U can always go with Von Spargel:D

I always use SH3 Commander. It has a database of over 42,000 real names, divided into first and last and giving a possible 1.7 billion names.

I run careers in each of the various ubermods. My Kaleuns' names are based on my maternal great-grandfathers.

GWX3: Wolfgang Brauer
NYGM: Richard Watkins
LSHIII: Artur Meyers
WAC: Christus Lehman

Willi Schnogger? (There's a similar one I won't post here!)

Actually, I just use a German translation of my grandfather's name. Wilhelm Fischer.

I am a fan of the show "Space:1999" and I named my Kaleun, Johan Konig, after the commander John Koenig, and the game gave me my first sub, U-99.
Nice choice!
I have used names like "Klaus Fisch" -from 'American Dad' and "Erich Kartmann" from 'South Park', as well as germanizing my own name, from time to time.

Kaleun 10-02-14 11:32 AM

My name in German - my first name has a germanic equivalent and my surname is one of the professions eg Fletcher, Cooper etc.. so i just use the german word for it!

You couldn't make this one up....

Kapitänleutnant Wilhelm-Heinrich Graf Pückler und Limpurg. :D

Captain, U 381.

Kudos to BigWalleye
 
Thanks! I just got my first skipper's name for SH4 -- I'm going with my country/western stage name, Willie Nailer !

Finding accurate german names isnt that hard, but to combine them to sound good is another story My kaleuns are: Werner Braun, Heinz Kolb, Hermann Lück. Here are some other suggestions. Johann Ley, Fritz Eber, Joachim Dies, Karl Voesch...
Addendum. Von Spargel is the brother of von Kraut ;) But sailor steve is right. Use the sh3commander. Cheers
