Revamped character names - Fewer jokes

Description

Another port of one of my WHII mods. I can't 100% remember for every single name why I replaced it, especially for the High Elves. I'll probably look a little closer at each race in the future.

Features

Replaces many of the joke names or names that I found unfitting with better ones. If you know Dutch and you've played Lizardmen, you know what I'm talking about.
Edits the .loc tables themselves, making it highly compatible.
Keeps all the other vanilla names that I didn't see an issue with. Suggestions are welcome.

Affected races

Lizardmen
Skaven
Wood Elves
High Elves

Compatibility

Should be pretty much anything. Even if another mod makes name changes like this, one will just overwrite the other, and only if the same names are edited. However, if a mod assigns a new name group to a faction/culture, that name group won't use my new names.

Some background info

Inspired by GunKing's Loreful names mods and its issues with compatibility, I've made my own mod reducing the amount of Dutch name puns in the Lizardmen character name pool.

Immersive & Loreful Lizardmen & Skaven Names

What I did was make changes in a single .loc table, replacing names that are on the nose Dutch puns or otherwise less fitting, with names from the lore (from GunKing's mod) and a few of my own from some Warhammer name generator. This should allow for great compatibility with pretty much any mod that doesn't do exactly the same. It also allows the many hundreds of vanilla names that remain to still be in the name pool, offering plenty of variety.

@Satou The Deus musco Then don't use the mod?

I dunno. I love all the Dutch puns for the Lizardmen names

"What if we name all the lizardmen after fried snacks?"

Oh yeah, about that. I didn't remove Ellendeling. I know, it's a Dutch word, but it also sounds like an Elf.
Though I think I'll change him as well. Not to worry, this mod is entirely save game compatible, so when I change him and update the mod, he will be changed in your ongoing campaigns as well.

Thank You!!!
This is a must have for me, especially since that wood elf lord Ellendeling showed up in every empire play through so far.

@Tie - Phantom
Cloaca also has another meaning in English that's... rather poignant, and still deserving of being removed!

noun: Zoology
noun: cloaca; plural noun: cloacae

a common cavity at the end of the digestive tract for the release of both excretory and genital products in vertebrates (except most mammals) and certain invertebrates. Specifically, the cloaca is present in birds, reptiles, amphibians, most fish, and monotremes.

archaic
a sewer.

So I guess used to be for English as well!
