Greater variety of names

[crystal5213]

This isn't a huge suggestion, but this was the only board I could find for this input. Even within a tribe of 10 animals, I find that many have the same or almost same name. This makes it difficult when finding a specific animal. There are two solutions to this, and I think both should be used.

1.) When choosing a name for a baby, do not select names of any living animals, unless no other names are available. Additionally, try to avoid names that are similar, like Reis and Rais.

2.) Add more names to the name pool. I have a few suggestions below, but I think it would be cool to hear everyone else's name ideas as well.

 

Name Ideas:

Male

Female

Either

Kane, Cane 

Kana, Cana, Khana

Shozi, Shosi

Reddo 

Redda

heh, I renamed my firstborn Kain on my first story playthrough. Personally I think the name Iaril is kind of cute (pronounced Ya-rill in my head). Also if those syllables are added this means DukkuSan is a possible outcome, and that's more of a riot than DukDukku

shoot I meant to put this in the polling board. Guess I need to pay better attention to tabs rip

Moved it to Feature Requests I would like more names. Even though I often give my animals custom names I have heard/ read pretty much every name in the game at this point and a few more names would come as a welcome addition

[Pokestardragacraft]

I like your ideas @AlphaBlox, except maybe just “ia” in the female names. I just don’t think it flows that well if you get it as your first syllable.

[AlphaBlox]

Thank you, @Pokestardragacraft, I think ia would be good for a starter syllable for Na or Se, even So. But of course, if you end up with "Iacor" or "Iaril" you dont get the best combo. But maybe if you pronounced it differently? Like saying: I-a instead of E-a. They work better and worse for specific names.

I exclusively use randomly generated names for my nichelings, and I agree that more are needed. I have also seen many instances of duplicated names, so a system to prevent this would be helpful.

[Jojo]

People here saying the sillable don't match up as if that would be kind of bad but we have Nichelings that sometimes are named Lalala? ^^

[Pokestardragacraft]

@Jojo See, to me Lalala is at least readable and understandable whereas Iaanaia is kinda confusing.

I wouldn't mind. I mean names are names. As long as it isn't Pkuhtzmk ^^ and even with that I could work. I think names can be very flexible

[Pokestardragacraft]

Hey, I made this so people can test out syllables for names to see what would fit best:

I remember I had one nicheling I named Rororoyourboat because his generated name was Rororo ^^

and of course there’s the wandering male Dukdukduk

Wow it would be pretty cool to have a female born who's natural name is Erase ;D Also Coria is a cool name too.

I mean, you can get creatures named "Lame", "Isis", and "Meme" 😅
