OK, we seem to want to avoid all the religious ones (I personally think
that's overly cautious, as politics, religion, warfare, and culture are
darn
near inseparable in the Middle East), how about some ancient Arabian
ones?

Scheherazade and Djinn-class sound nice.  Aladdin and Ali Baba don't
sound
intimidating enough, but I'm sure there are many other names in the 1001
Arabian Nights that could be appropriate.  Or Khadulu for the Lovecraft
fans.
