More Names
« on: December 24, 2022, 06:05:09 pm »

The pool of names is a bit shallow so to speak in a way that makes a lot of stuff run together. Particularly first names. I'd like to see a bit more variety thrown out there. Maybe even some unique generated first names at some point. Would just make things a bit more special from time to time.

Three-part surnames would be really cool, and also second names if another individual was already so named, and nicknames and monickers and noms de guerre but only if they've done something relevant. Oh, and some cultures add ancestors by naming you son of X (who is or was) son of Y (who was) son of Z.
E.G. Urist Zasit "Rumad" McMiner (there was one Urist McMiner already), called Libash for he felled many trees and singlehandedly started a war with tree enjoyers, son of Urist McStonecutter, son of Urist McWoodcutter, son of Urist McBrewer.

In that same line of thought, adding "Jr." and "Sr." to parents and children that share first names would be neat.
