Need name for a sci-fi species

[Peregrin Toker]

I'm currently making my own sci-fi universe, which is set several million years in the future.

Humanity has migrated from earth to different star systems. In one systems, the humans have settled on a low-gravity world and evolved into a tall, lanky species called the Xril. (Don't ask how you are supposed to pronounce "Xril" - I've designed their language to be unpronouncable)

I got the idea for the Xril's appearabce when I thought about my suggestion that Asajj Ventress was a human-Kaminoan crossbreed. Of course, such hybrids are technically impossible, but I tried to draw what such a hybrid would be most likely to look like and added pointy, elf-like ears for some reason. OK, they don't resemble the Kaminoans that much. To start with, they actually have musculature and their prime minister doesn't have a mohawk.

To add a twist, I've made the Xril very warlike despite being physically weak, they have a preference for heavy exoskeletal armour.

Their expansionist conquest binge has led them into conquest into another species which have descended from the humans. These descendants are almost polar opposites of the Xril - their technological level is somewhat lower, but not significantly lower. Where Xril weaponry is rather refined, these guys rely on brute force to defend themselves rather than high-tech gadgets. Their appearance is something like this:

They are rather short, wide and quite muscular. Their heads look slightly Bothan-like, with a slightly conical skull. Their skin is generally dark brown, and they have very long hair and beards, but their hair covers only the same parts of the body and face as on the humans. Their appearance, in general, is a little like the trolls of Scandinavian folklore.

I just need a name for them. Names derived from "Troll", "Bothan" or "Ian Anderson" are NOT accepted!

[Jason von Evil]

Just follow B&B's lead and have all races begin with the letter t.

[Peregrin Toker]

Okay, I now have plenty of suggestions for names, and I'm probably going to use some of the names as locations and characters as well as species.

Update: I've decided on Shinova's suggestion "Jardra."
