OP An acquaintance on Twitter asked: "Does anyone know the term for country-specific generalized names, like Ivan (Soviet Union), Fritz (Germany) and Charlie (the VC)?"
I don't think he wants a list of them, but the general term for the use of such names, or for this class of names - "country-specific generalized names" is just too much.
