Default Naming my commander

I need a name for my commander, in english. In Tau I have:

Shas'O Fir'i'os Bal'kaan Ka'M'Yen

The Piece in bold is my problem, as in english we have Commander (Something) Unforseen Strike of Fir'i'os.

So, any ideas, as I have none. The name is to be in the standard tau form, like shadowsun, longknife, farsight, puretide etc.

Whoever gives me a good'un gets a biscuit.

I say drop the (something) and just use the 'unforseen strike' name. Sounds more tau-like and alsoless of a mouthful to say.

Commander Jefry.
But seriously...
Ironwinds
Steelheart
Quickblow
Swiftkill
Stormshot

I think the trick is getting words like the first ones, then using one like the second. Simple, ey?
