I know Predators have names in a few of the novels. But recurring Predators in the comics? Which ones?
- the elder Predator from the end of 'Predator 2' shows up in the comic story 'Predator: 1718'
- "Top Knot" shows up in 'AvP: Prey' and 'AvP: War', and I think he's in 'AvP: Blood Time'
- "Light Stepper" shows up in 'AvP: Blood Time', 'AvP: Duel', and 'AvP: War'
- 'Broken Tusk" gets namedropped in 'AvP: War' and 'AvP: Hunter's Planet'
- the wounded Predator from the 'Predator: Concrete Jungle' comic/novel that Schaefer impales in the jungle comes back in 'Predator: Dark River'
There might be some others I'm not remembering.

Or, an alien that is slightly larger than the other hive members and is stronger, because you know each alien is an individual organism and they all have slightly different personalities.
That was the intention with the "Grid" Alien from the first AvP movie - he was supposed to be an "Alien" individual character and even get his own fight with Scar at the end of the movie.
Likewise, you could call the Queen in 'Aliens' a character, or the PredAlien in 'AvP: Requiem'.
As for other sources, there's a couple "character" Aliens of sorts. There's one identified as missing an arm due to an experiment in 'Aliens: Stronghold', Blue from 'Aliens: Music of the Spears', the Rogue in 'Aliens: Rogue', Trixie in 'Aliens: Labyrinth', the one-handed Alien in 'Aliens: Mondo Pest', the player-character Aliens in both AvP games on PC, the Crawler in 'Aliens: Stalker', the Night Stalker in 'Aliens: Alien', and probably some others I'm forgetting.
