I am thinking of modding my game to have gender-specific real world names for my dwarves. I think it'll make it easier to remember them and will make it easier for me to immediately know who is male and who is female, which is nice and occasionally useful (e.g. to help match-making so as to form families). Is there any way to make dwarven names gender specific?

No.

No.

That's a pity to hear. Thanks anyway for the information, mate! Hope Toady one day implements that (or makes it moddable), would help with immersion

This probably isn't the cleanest solution, but Dwarf Therapist would be helpful for this if you haven't already gotten it, I assume you already checked that out if you're delving into modding tho

I'm very amateur at modding so I don't know how Dwarf Therapist can be used to provide this feature. How does that work? I thought it was only used for general fortress management.

As far as I'm aware, the only thing Dwarf Therapist would let you do here is assign custom nicknames to your dwarves, but that's hardly a unique feature because the vanilla game lets you do the same thing.

There's some way to display a sex/gender symbol before the names

Thank you guys for all the answers! Yeah, it isn't exactly what I wanted, but maybe one day Toady One will implement CASTE specific name lists. Although he definitely has a lot more important features to work on lol
