Does anyone know where I could find a list of Dwarven first names? As in the ones used by the game.

[G-Flex]

There really aren't specific "names". The game just uses words from an entity's language file. So if you look at the dwarves' language file, any word in there is a possible first name, with the exception of words that entity doesn't like to name things with (for instance, a dwarf won't use the dwarven word for "anus" to name a dwarf or a city).

To elaborate on this: words are categorized in to "symbols" (listed in language_SYM.txt) and entity files tell the civilizations what to use for names (or anything, really) with tokens like:

Code: [Select]

[SELECT_SYMBOL:REMAINING:ARTIFICE]
or
[CULL_SYMBOL:ALL:EVIL]
As an example, the word "urist" is the dwarven word for dagger, and the word "dagger" is under the symbol group "artifice", which is why many dwarves use it as a name.
