Creativity Call: Lunar Assassin Names

Folks, remember when I asked people here for names of possible future movies? I'm putting out a call again if people want to play.
For the novel project, I need to come up with the names for ten assassins-for-hire who work and live in a futuristic, anarchic city on the Moon. Well, actually I need eight names; I've already named two of them Dumas and Dianora. (Hi,
dianora2!)
Anyway, the names can be anything: one word, two words, standard names, evocative nicknames, etc. If you want to suggest a name, or even offer up your own, let me know. Since I need ten of them, though, I'm trying to make them as distinctive as possible.
The usual offer applies. I'll file your own name away for a Tuckerization, if you want one, and if I can swing it, I can even try to list you in the novel's Acknowledgements. Which assumes, of course, that the thing eventually sells...

They're more likely to have aliases like "Il Duce" (from Boondock Saints). And I'm with James on the Jesse and Tobias thing, though I rather like "Mr. Scott" instead Jesse.
Other random brainstorms:
Kurnor
Haynes (or Haynsworth)
Ratchet
Lawley
the Swiss Geologist*
Kilkelly
Mr. Valentine
Scythe
the Cleaning Lady
Jack of Hearts
Devlin
Fletch
*"Swiss" geology is when you look at an outcrop through binoculars, instead of trying to get up close, so a "Swiss Geologist" would be a sniper.
