Lotsa Names

Description
As cool as "Urist" is, this mod adds over a thousand other names. Most are either typical human or pet names, though expect a few weird things to pop up now and then.

This mod includes over 2600 additional names that can be generated for dwarfs, humans, elves, beasts, pets... well, basically anything in the base game!

Lotsa Names is now compatible with Intro's Kobold Civ! You may load the mods in any order.

As of 12/12/2023, this mod is also compatible with SEEU's various race mods; for these, I recommend loading the Lotsa Names mod after the the race mods.

The Lupine Civilization mod has some strange issues with how names are chosen, and the dev plans to fix them. Please note that this mod IS NOT CURRENTLY COMPATIBLE with Lupine Civilization.

PLEASE NOTE THAT LEGEND MODE MAY CRASH WHILE USING THIS MOD. It's difficult to know if it's related to this mod or another mod. If you are able to track down the cause of this crash, please let me know in the comments.

Hmm, that's an interesting idea. I imagine it would be a significant amount of work, and the general point of this mod is to help names stand out, specifically so individual dwarfs are more memorable. Getting an Urist is much rarer, so they'll also stand out.

Is that what you were asking? Just wanting to make sure I actually reply to the question.

it might be a bit of work, but do you plan on adding dwarven translations for applicable words? they stand out a little bit sometimes

FYI, I've released Losta Names v6! This one makes the mod compatible with SEEU'S race mods. I've been working on compatibility with the Lupine Civilization, but that mod has some broken stuff when it comes to names. Luckily, the dev responded quickly and will be fixing that sometime in the future!

However, I've also seen Legends Mode crash from time to time. I'm not sure if it's due to my mod, another mod, or just faults in Legends Mode itself. If anyone has this issue, please let me know - if it's with my mod, I want to figure out how to fix it.

Glad to hear, David! My biggest hope was to be able to quickly and easily tell characters apart, and I also wanted a good laugh.

Honestly man this is beyond excellent. I'm fine with vanilla names but the instant readability of these really helps with learning who's who in a new world or new migrant wave. Appreciate it.

@Vinshenzo You know what? If you wanted to put together a large list of names, I'd be happy to get a separate mod made that uses those. I'm not personally interested in making a list of names like that, but it'd be easy to take what you compile and slap a mod together. Shoot me a DM if you're interested in that.

This is a really cool mod. I would totally fall in love for a more vanilla-friendly version of it, however.

As an update, I've been playing Dwarf Fortress today with this mod, and it appears to be working correctly with vanilla DF as well as Intro's Kobold Civ. I may expand it to work with other civilization mods if I have time.

@Honeybadger I'll be traveling soon, but I'll look into it when I get back!
