Names for alien soldiers?

Anybody got a few cool but realistic name ideas? I'm making a series with a friend, and i need names for the generals or as we called them "arbiters" (yes inspired from project moon).

I don't really like the classic usual alien names you find in famous sci fi shows, rick and morty is the biggest example for me. I know most of them are jokes, but I'm tired of the names always starting with 'xe' or 'zy'.

Trying to remember the name of this song, sort of an accapella intro, not singing, more a deep voice.

I only barely remember the intro of the song when I dad played it to me ln the car I was maybe 6. It's an accapella that's like "Doo, wa-pe doo, de doo, pe doo, pe doo. Wa-pe doo, wa-pe doo, de doo, pe-doo, pe-doo." (That's what's pronounced, I'm not typing random nonsense, the guy in the song says do pe wa ect. Please don't remove this.)

My memory might be faulty but I vaguely remember the cover for the album being a sort of mouth sort of like the rolling stones album but centered, more open with teeth and no tongue, black background. If that helps to narrow it down I guess, but that's all I can remember.

I also don't really know what genre it is either. I'm guessing hip hop but I'm not sure.

How do I tell my best friend I don't care about his interests and I'm tired of him being clingy.

For context. Me (male) and who I'm going to call Lucas (not his actual name obv, also male), have been friends for about 10 years now we're really close, talking literally every day for hours. He is autistic and has trouble making friends, but I still value him as a friend and this is not why I'm making this post, I don't really care if he's autistic or not, I still take it into account obviously, but that doesn't change how I see him.

I feel like since I stayed at his place nearly a month ago for about 2 weeks. I've just been exhausted every day when he starts a conversation from one message I replied to. He'll go on about some series or game he discovered and I feel really bad, but I really just don't care and I'm tired of it. I wan't to bond with him, but I can't force myself to, especially because he's also shown me several times he doesn't really care about my interests, or my boundries either really, even when he's told me he does care his actions say otherwise.

We've just grown to be different people, I like music, he likes sci fi and gaming. I think I've also just spent too much time with him and I guess I've had enough of constantly talking, putting energy into conversations, making jokes, laughing at his jokes.
I don't hate him, but I'd like to have a few days we're I can just be left alone, or even if we're talking, to have a normal chill conversation. Not always talking about his hobbies or memes or always making jokes. I feel like we can never just be serious together either.

What should I say to him? I still love him as a friend, and I feel bad since he only has one other friend that's in a different time zone as him and In. But I want to approach this slowly and not just cut him off like that, we've been together for years.

(First time using reddit, I apologise if this is the wrong place to post this on.)
