Here's the newest version of my complete names database, with 223 name sets, updated to work with OOTP23 (does not work with older versions...for that, use version 1.2 here:
https://forums.ootpdevelopments.com/...d.php?t=328435

The old names .txt files have been replaced with a master names.xml file; since this the first version released with this change, I'm considering this a beta version (for now) until it can be tested more...so you may not want to start any big new leagues without testing it a bit (although it seems to work just fine in the limited testing I've done thus far).

My goal is to provide realistic names for an OOTP universe, no matter what countries you add to your leagues. Here is a list of the name sets I used:

OOTP_Names_Database_v2-0.txt

I've included the sets that come with the game, although I've vastly expanded most of them, and added 183 new sets (some of which have been posted already). Most of this is my own work, although I have incorporated some names from other user-created sets into this master list.

The files are too large to host here, so here's the links:

https://www.mediafire.com/file/21op7...names.xml/file

https://www.mediafire.com/file/35x3g...fault.xml/file

Just download the 2 files and overwrite the files in the /data/database directory (make backups first!). You will have to start a new game to make them work...just re-importing the database doesn't seem to work.

If you use this file set, please provide feedback if you think the sets/xml file can be improved, or if you find any bugs.

NOTES
My principle guiding the creation of these sets is 90% realism, 5% playability and 5% fun. I've used data when available. I've gathered most of the names from lists of sports teams and the great forebears.io site. I've tried to make all the sets large enough to generate names for at least a small league (100k first/last names combinations minimum) but most larger countries have at least 1 million possible combinations.
I haven't altered the nicknames portion of the .xml file, so you can either choose to use them or not.

Updated 5/26/22, fixed a few minor issues.
