Searched around, but didn't see anything like this. Would it be possible, whether as a dfhack script or an addition to Therapist, to give each new dwarf a gender-appropriate nickname from a pre-set list, ideally not re-using a currently active nickname?

Yeah, it would. Pretty simple, actually, with dfhack.units.setNickname(unit,nick).

No idea how to file i/o with lua, though.

I actually use that function for testing, with this script:

Code: [Select]

function renameAllUnitsByNumber()
    for uid,unit in ipairs(df.global.world.units.all) do
        dfhack.units.setNickname(unit,"Unit " .. uid)
    end
end

renameAllUnitsByNumber()
