On the pieces: You are free to name the pieces whatever you want, but for the convenience of CV enthusiasts I suggest the addition of the following things:

Ox: It is also known as Alibaba (Alfil-Dabbaba compound piece)

Courtier: It is also known as Zebra, a piece with a long history in Chess.

It also suggest adding Betza notations for all the pieces. It is

Ox (Betza notation AD)

Camel (Betza notation L or C)

Courtier (Betza notation J or Z)

Ram (Betza notation HG)

P.S. I am not aware of other games featuring the Ram. Cazaux's Troll comes close, but it has additionally a pawn move.
