[UNSUPPORTED] Turkish Names

Due to extended issues of personal and technical nature, I will no longer de able to engage in modding and modding-related activites for an indefinite amount of time. This modis no longer supported, meaning it will no longer be updated and any questions on its performance will no longer be answered to. Any modder on Steam Workshop is allowed to reuse all or part of the content within this mod without asking for prior authorization and within the guidelines set by Paradox's Mod Policy.[www.paradoxplaza.com] I would like to sincerely apologize for the abandonment of this project and thank you all for your continued support, hoping its remains will allow other modders and submodders to create even more Turkish-flavored content for Stellaris.

A Turkish themed custom name list, featuring over 5,700 entries (most of them unique) for ships, planets and leaders. Fits with my other Turkish custom content mods such as Turkish Emblems and Turkish Republican Music. Whether you're here to become the kebab or to remove it, you hopefully won't regret using it!

The names are based on:
- Turkey's districts and provinces,
- former Ottoman provinces
- Turkish Navy ship names
- Famous Turkish naval commanders, pilots, leaders, hero-ines, engineers, scientists, explorers
- Old Turkic mythological figures
- Turkish military outpost and base names
- Turkish statistical institute data on first names
- A list of last names on GitHub
- Kate Monk's Onomastikon
- Custom input based on personal knowledge of the Turkish language.

Leader names:
- The 1st character namelist, "Turkey 2017", is limited to 300 male and female most used Turkish names in 2016 according to the Turkish Statistics Institude (with limited custom additions to get to 300). A necessary change to limit the number of rarer, more outlandish names from propping up.
- The 2nd character namelist, "Pure Turkic" [sic] is based on a Panturkist website's advice for names directly taken from Old Turkic languages. 2347 M and 600 F first names (also used as surnames). Regal names based on historical and mythical Old Turkic rulers.
- The 3rd character namelist, "Ottoman", is based on both EUIV's Ottoman names and a vetted database of common Ottoman names in the 17th century. Regal names based on historical Ottoman rulers and people of influence. 150 M and 150 F names 273 surnames.
