SAGE strikes me as a good choice for the Camel+Bishop piece. Piececlopedia: [Bishop] states: 'Germans gave the piece entirely new names, such as der Alte, which means sage, and the current name, Laufer, which means courier or runner.'

The name Sage is suitable for a piece that is stronger than the Wizard, invented by Dan MacDonald in 1998 for his game Omega Chess. Note that the orginal meaning of wizard was 'wise man'.
