Default Making a new character-but stuck?

So I want to make a new character and I thought how about a NF ranger? I like the Ancient and Primeval sets so why not?

However I have a little problem. I give my characters names that fit into the campaign.

Ex: My Faction characters have Chinese and Japanese names since Factions is Asian themed

I know NF is supposed to be Middle eastern/African themed but I just can't tell what ranger primeval or Ancient is. It doesn't look like African or Middle eastern attire. So I am having trouble deciding what type of name to give my ranger an African name or Middle eastern name.

No I can't just give it a random name that doesn't fit the campaign, why? Because as I said I like to give my characters names that fit into the campaign.

Egyptian? Sumerian? Babylonian? Nubian? (Or, Noobian - lol)

I went with "Moksha Har al Din" for my Paragon. Just do a little research into the people's and history of Egypt and the Middle-east, I'm sure you'll find a name that evokes something!

It isn't as much trouble thinking of a name as it is thinking what the heck kind of attire ranger primeval and ancient are. I just don't see primeval or ancient as looking very Middle eastern/African. Yes I am very ocd (obsessive-compulsive disorder) when it comes to naming characters.

You can also create a character in another campaign and get primeval armour if you can't decide on a Japanese name

I am sure you can find a decent name generator for all kind of names.
