I quite often edit the names to fit my purposes.
I created my own name files to get better names. I have an American file, European file that has all European nations in it, Japanese file and an Hispanic file. I put British, Irish, Scottish and Australian names in with the American file.
The regular OOTPB name files just had too many weird names in it for me.
I did research to get authentic ethnic names... even Native Americans and Australian Aborigines. A lot of my towns are ethnically based, so I make sure the French towns like Belle Plaine and LaGrange have a lot of French names, the Spanish towns like Volusia, San Dimas and Luxora have lots of Spanish names, the Australian towns like Tucknarra and Wynnamac have Aussie and Aboriginal names, the Baltic towns like Valka and Valmara have Estonian, Lithuanian, Latvian and Russian names and Taranto has Italian names primarily. Midway and Chicopee get a lot of Native American names since the towns were settled by them. Glasco has Scottish names, Kilkenny has Irish names, Ginza gets Japanese names, Summerland has Dutch names, Bayview is Scandanavian and Colchester, Stoner and Sligo get English names. Arroyo Grande was settled by the Spanish and the French, so both nationalities are represented.
I edit each one of the rosters at the beginning of the new year to make sure the ethnicity of each town is continued.
Thanks for posting and viewing. Much appreciated.
