Niche - A Genetics Survival Game - Name Suggestions
Hey; I've been Searching for Niche name lists, and have noticed that, in truth, there aren't too many for Steam users. I'll try to post some ideas on this discussion, but any help would be greatly appreciated! ( If you don't like scrolling through lists or are indecisive, I reccomed putting these names into the name generation file, it can make gameplay much more interesting.

I guess people want their own names.

I just altered the files that supply the letters and syllables for the male and female names.
