Hi guys, I'm finishing a new knife today and I was wondering if you could help me name it. I'm thinking I need a manly name that starts with C, and also I am wondering if it's likely that an army cook would also hold a rank starting with C, and what that rank might be?

Thanks, and I'll be sure to send a shout out in my thread to respondents whose suggestions I end up using.

Cheers!
 
Corporal would work... captain is a “c” as well but the captain over a DFAC would be running a support company as the commander and not be involved at all in the operations beyond scheduling training or coordinating for special events.
As for a “manly” name, you need to go with a surname, no one calls people by their first name after their rank.

I submit: “Corporal Colson”. Two “c”s rolls off the tongue better.

I believe in the navy a cook can achieve the rank of chief petty officer aka cpo.

Actually Navy Culinary Specialists (CS), can achieve the rank of Master Chief (MCPO) and for that rate/rank it would be annotated CSCM :)
 
From a previous thread.........
I think you should break the mold on names.
Possible names
Fuzzy Bunny
Cute Kitten
Cap. Cuddle
 
You could have leaned on the traditional French Brigade de Cuisine kitchen hierarchy for inspiration. That's based on military structures/roles etc.

Say, Chef de Cuisine Colin. Sous Chef Clive. Chef de Partie Bob.

Or just used Captain Carrot instead.

Either way, an opportunity may have been missed.
