Give it your best shot.
I'm about to name a whole senate, maids, rulers, peasants, all kinds of people, and I'm wracking my brain for names: what sounds more Kryptonian?
I've got about a dozen so far, most of which I don't even know how I thought of it, but I'm open for ideas and suggestions. So folcs, name your Kryptonian. Please.

Do you actually need names for all of them? Or just have a pool of names and you grab one as needed? As for me... I have not a clue  . Carol

I just need a pool of names, yes. Whatever you think fits a bad guy, I'm interested in knowing. Same with names for good guys  The only limit is our imagination. Ghost edit: not that they all have to sound so far out of this world. I had a female version of Ching... her name? Chi. Clean and simple. I wanted to go with Chi-Chi, but then it would only be a rip-off of Japanese manga

You may already know this but... here's a wiki on Kryptonian names and terms, 
If she had to move heaven and Earth, perhaps come back to haunt Perry and explain the story after they'd killed her, she would do it.

How about Vis-El? He could be Kal's evil, singing, hip-swaying second cousin once removed.  Whaddaya mean not helpful?

Ooo - isn't there a Redneck Kryptonian list somewhere or something? All of his cousins? I forget who all they were...

I would think that servants would come from nameless houses, being servants and all.
Of course, there are establishments that train people that want to be servants...

And not necessarily all of them. And not females. We know Kal-El and Jor-El. And Van-Zee and Jax-Ur are from the comics. But Lord Nor, Trey, Zara, Ching... There doesn't seem to be much pattern to any of it in L&C canon (not that anything about NK makes sense...).
When in doubt, think about penguins. It probably won't help, but at least it'll be fun.

even though I haven't navigated it thoroughly yet why don't you check out this site on Kryptonian Language if there is a whole string of Kryptonians you're writing about, this page would provide guidance on Kryptonian grammar,alphabet and more (as I said I haven't explored it fully) you may find something really neat that could help you formulate some form of speach patterns etc. (Yoda's speaking style I think good analogy might be)good luck

What about Yode-El, in honor of Perry of course.

There's the Kryptonian Name Generator . The description says: "Creates names for Kryptonian characters (like Superman's Kal-El or Jor-El)".You can generate an infinity of names.

I think you could use about anything you want - including 'Earth' names. After all, Kal is a name here (with any pronunciation you choose) and I've often thought Kal-El was based on the the Arabic name Kalil which means 'friend'. And Ching is actually a Chinese word. And this is from Wiki: Zara Anne Elizabeth Phillips, MBE (born 15 May 1981) is the second child and only daughter of HRH The Princess Anne, Princess Royal and her first husband, Captain Mark Phillips. As the eldest granddaughter of HM Queen Elizabeth II and HRH The Duke of Edinburgh, she is twelfth in the British Order of Succession. The Spanish pronunciation of Sara is nearly the same as Zara. Jor-El could certainly be a take on the name Jorge. And there is (or was) a Brazilian musician with the name of Jor (Jorge Ben Jor). There is a company named Zor in The Netherlands. And there was some kind of toy named King Zor. King Zor So, hey, Ghost, if you want to use the names: Ghost, Carol, Anks, Shades, Elvis, Data, James, Hatman, Paul, Ludwig van Beethoven (sounds rather Kryptonian, doesn't it?), Stephnachia, Toc, Ann, Ultra Woman, Sammie, Classicalla, or any other name, I'm sure you'll get a smile...

not only is ZARA a "Teran" name,
but so is LARA (as in Kal's mother)
and SARA
and KYRA
and KAYLA (cognate with Michaella)
LEAH
LEELA
MILO (Male, but also the best choc-malt drink ever... it's an OZ thing)
LOYD
FLOYD
JOEL
JOSE (as in Spanish: HO-ZE)
then there is a whole host of MING's, CHAN's and LEE's
etc.
