I prefer General for BDD; I use it in Vanguard Chess, and will put it in other games in the future.
The problem I have with names like Bibaba, Rukhfil, and Begum is this: We can make a 2D icon based more on the move combination than the name, but what would the piece look like in 3D? Those names do not inspire any imagery.
