Not a baby, but needs a name

[requiem-morrow.livejournal.com]

A friend of mine is working on a fanfic and needs name help. The issue is, the character is an alien - species is fairly similar to humans, but more advanced. Problem is, its an original species so there is no cannon or established culture base to work with (although if I didn't suck at fantasy names I guess being able to make up anything would be cool LOL). This is the gist of the situation - character is female. The culture was scientifically advanced and had kind of a breeding system (people had to pass tests in order to get permission to have a child, the child would be tested and assigned a "path" for their life (teacher, doctor, soldier,scientist, etc). This character was a soldier who was later injected with an experimental "nanobot" technology for cellular repair (accelerated healing abilities). Something happens and a disease wipes out everyone, except this character, merges into an established show cannon...and the story goes on lol!

Any suggestions for alien names? She's like it have nickname possibilities and is toying with the following three segment format - Path (Name that designates life role), Family/Chaste (Name that designates lineage), and Given (like a first name)

Any suggestions would be appreciated! Whip out your creative alien naming hats!

I know! I know! *raises hand* her name could be Primeva :)
For the path name, since it defines career, I think your friend is the only one in the right position to name her.

Here are some family name suggestions:
Roikos
Kadlem
Leveron
Bekairaa
Nootar
Yasmussan
Tariqua
