So all races share the same namelist for characters?

Seeing a YouTuber control an evil race of beings with governors named Jimmy, Brian, and Erik ... wow, such attention to detail.
How long would it have taken to provide a unique list of names for each canon race, plus a dozen or so for the player to choose from?
If Aurora, made by a single dev, can offer a 200+ list of names, surely Stardock can offer 20?

Different civs have different names in general but it comes down to what type of citizen they chose.

For exmaple, choose a robotic citizen type and you'll get names like 1541C

Meaning choose a diplomat and they will get names like the ones in the video, Merica-themed names?

Each canon race has its own names. Drengin, Yor, etc.

Yep, those first names look quite unfit/non-evil/bad for Korath.

It seems that our developers forgot to update English\Text\UnitNamesText.xml or something else, from quick look.

Yea I can't speak for the Korath tbh. They came in very late. But as besBan points out, the file each race has its own names.

The Korath do seem to have their own names:

<FlavorTextOption>
<Requirements>
<CitizenRace>Race_Korath</CitizenRace>
</Requirements>
<Text>Lorthu</Text>
<Text>Ragal</Text>
<Text>Morkber</Text>
<Text>Lerranth</Text>
<Text>Kyrn</Text>
<Text>Pamerk</Text>
<Text>Mikkyt</Text>
<Text>Strith</Text>
<PreferenceWeight>1</PreferenceWeight>
</FlavorTextOption>

They could use more. I do see a spot where it has a general pool of names that are pretty generic ("Addison"). Blech.

If you base your complaint on a youtube video of an early access game I apply the old internet fix.

I don't know it could be rather fun to have an 'evil' race with 'frend shaped' names like :
Supreme Dark Lord Rainbow Fairycakes

[BladeofSharpness]

Good to know some improvements are planned, thanks.

What names has the Feline Empire? Asking for a friend.
