[MUD-Dev2] Class names

I'm listing classes, and I'm having trouble with the following:

What would be a good name for a class of characters that primarily use
polearms?
FYI, a polearm (or pole weapon) is a weapon that is generally a long pole
with a metal point or other destructive shape on the end. Common examples
are pikes, halberds, and spears. Wikipedia has an article; look up 'pole
weapon'.

Also, is there a better name than "ranger" for an user of 'ranged' weapons?
Something about the word 'ranger' just doesn't seem right, but of course
'archer' is not descriptive enough (as much as I like it) because it
includes other weapons (such as throwing weapons) that are not considered
arching.

Thanks,
Ricket
