maybe have your outfit theme as part of the name as well, one word that comes to mind though is veteran or vet
I normally find this site to be very useful in naming my characters, and, as for the last name, I normally just translate something into a foreign language and pick what sounds good.
Another suggestion is... pick a side for your WWII vet. Was he fighting for the Axis or the Allies? German, Japanese, Russian, American, British, or one of the lesser known fronts? Could've been just about any European nationality, most South-East Asian nationalities... in fact, if he saw active duty, he could've been from just about any country on the planet except for... I think most South American nations, Swiss, maybe Southern Africa, and possibly a few of the Baltic states. 'WWII Vet' covers a lot of ground- it was called "World" War II for a reason, after all.
Once you've picked a nationality, a name will probably come more easily; by the sound of him, your mercenary genius would likely use his own name (or an appropriate-sounding 'normal' pseudonym), and be far too arrogant to use a nom de guerre of the sillier, super-villain-esque type.

I actually was thinking of using an actual name for him, I was just hoping for some more insight, which you provided, along with most others input 
I'll just have to choose a nationality now. Thanks for your help everyone!
World War 2 words that could help
Tora - Japanese for tiger
Axis
Overlord
Fuehrer - German for leader
Blitzkrieg - German for lightning attack I think
Those are the ones off the top of my head.
Lightning war, actually. Blitzangriff would be attack.
And hey, I've got a General named Schwarzherz, so I should be one to talk, haha. Either way, others have made some very good suggestions, but I'd say don't worry about it. Wait until inspiration strikes, and you'll have the perfect name.

Characters
Well, I've decided to use Leon Blitzangriff. Which leads to the fact that he's German, which would make sense. He could've been a fan of Hitler. I've decided to use his first name, and a last-name alias, because he doesn't feel the need to detatch himself from his past life and family, but doesn't want to expose himself too much.

I've been wanting to make a Mercenary/Traps Mastermind for some time now. I've got a decent enough story for him, but I still don't have a name. His description is going to more or less be based on this:
The dude is a WWII war veteran, but is a freakin' genius. He's very adept at building almost anything, and has even built devices that have led to him having a longer life span than normal people. In his infinite knowledge, he's decided it's time for him to take the throne of the world. He's decided to start small in the Rogue Isles, with only a small band of Mercenaries as personal body guards, and he's going to work his way up, gathering more followers as he goes, until he's powerful enough to topple Recluse himself, and take his position, thereby having total control of his military force, which will give him a much greater advantage in his world domination scheme.
I've yet to come up with a good name for him, and since this seems like the part of the forum where all the creative minds come together, I thought you guys could help me out.
