Also note, in the Navy a captain is an even higher rank, roughly equivalent to a full colonel.

I think a while back I gave my Guard Captain the custom profession "Sarge", though. (Is sergeant higher than captain? I can never remember.)
Never. Sergeants are senior non-comissioned officers, promoted from enlisted men. Captain is a rank for commissioned officers, which is reserved for graduates of a service academy, persons of some difficult to obtain, highly specialised skill (such as surgeons) or for extremely competent enlisted personnell.

The previous is true for armies based on the British or Amercian model, and might not hold true in other forces.
Hmm. Serves him right for wanting such a fancy office, I guess.

Of course, the Navy doesn't have sergeants.

After reading about it on these forums and giving it a go once, I now find it impossible to go without naming my founding seven happy, dopey, sleepy, grumpy, bashful, doc and sneezy.

Bonus points if you try to match the names to their personalities.

Wood burners are treated to the highest quality rooming I can afford. Also, their rooms are towers made out of ash, constructed right beside the main road, where the elves can see them.

If I find that there are at least 3 dwarves with the same name in a relatively small fort, I immediately move them all into one squad, and recruit them.

If there are enough of the same name to make up the entire palace guard, I do that instead.

When a dwarf becomes a champion, I rename them either after their first or most prominent kill.

So far, I have made a huuuuge goblin prison deep down in my fortress (might make my dwarves evil in the eyes of the goblins, turning their sieges into rescue missions).
Although made a seperate prison for the imprisoned Titan.

I don`t make names for my dwarves either, I think their borned names are more funnier to read.

That sounds awesome, but what if one of them is a Legendary Weaponsmith or Armorer?
