What happened to the name generator?

[Shindria]

I haven't played for ages, and started this afternoon, but the Floran random names are all boring now =( I know it's a silly thing, but I LOVED the old random names - things like Poppy Treestabber, or Twinkle Plantmurder =P

Any idea when/why they changed it?

i don't know about Floran names but the Glitch naming generator became better in my opinion :D

I'm glad I wasn't the only one that this really, really bothered lol
I'm not very good at coming up with names, so generators are great. I liked all the cute/silly mixes the generator used to come out with, but now everything seems so bland and "John"-like. I've only tried the Floran and Avian ones so far, they've both been horribly butchered from their original state.

No offense meant to anyone named John out there.

Someone probably complained about the name "Cloaca".
"These names trigger me."

Glad I wasn't the only one to notice actually! I don't have a problem coming up with my own names, but I LOVED rolling through the Floran names and choosing a really silly one =D

I can see this happening. They're based in London after all :p

All jokes about British sensibilities aside, I did like the silly human names as well. Now they're without character. Names like "Mathew McPoppypants" now became just "Matt". Feels like a Monday morning.

On a serious note I think they changed the names to be more lore or racial friendly rather than some amusing names.

far as i know it changed when 1.0 hit .. reason? possibly to make it more "serious" ...

you can probly find a name gen mod in the workshop though...
