    One of them looks like the Irish-Walloon, the Comte de Moules-Frites et Mayo.

    Inspiration of course from the Duc de Pommes-Frites in Carry On Don’t Lose Your Head.

    I like nundanket's suggestion. It looks like the other chap might be the Marquis de Sacre Bleu. Cheers Greg

    Now, if only one was a cavalry commander then I could help.

    General Plumb and General Orange - rememberable and pronouncable- sorry about the spelling.

    No specific suggestions but fun to take a contrived name in English and 'translate' approximately into the relevant language? It works for me!
    My favourite gaming character names however are (i) David Crook's ACW commander Kyle E. Minogue and (ii) Charles Grant's imagi-nation had a Scottish mercenary acting as Public Executioner, who was called MacArbre...

    General:- Grabuge (Mayhem), Gaffe (Blunder), Gaffeur (Blunderer) or even General Fubar and General Snafu?

    Maybe a generation earlier incarnation of Le Comte de Frou Frou https://blackadder.fandom.com/wiki/Le_Comte_de_Frou_Frou
    And https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frou_Frou
