ClayInfinity: Nope, at the moment there's no distinction betwen the races, maybe in the next version Smile Otherwise the names come from a list compiled by Creative Role Playing:

http://www.creative-role-playing.com/fantasy-sounding-names/

But it is also included in the Ack section of the page where you installed this script Smile

No, this is a serious issue. Then rng is definitely broken.

Players with random names are soulles creatures and may Nuffle have his wrath upon them!

I had a human lineman randomly named "Clumsyhawk" who was chosen MVP and therefor hired by me. He skilled a few games later and got +AG. He died the next match.

Random names make players develop into the opposite and then die. Yepp, soul- and useless! Smile

roante, it doesn't work for me. I got the "Buy new player" table in a new (Firefox) tab, but hitting your bookmark doesn't do anything. :-/

We already have it for journeymen.

(And on a side-note, I freaked out when my zons got their first 2 mercenaries, named... David and Sylvester. Confused)

Most of the starting players of my new teams come with random names, and I find it ok. It's much better than names like "Lino 14" or US football players names IMHO. I'd actually love to have a "random name" button next to the "buy a new player" button, based on races. I'd definitely use it for most of my starting players.

Random names are gay.

Rabe: which version of FF you are using? Can you send me the output of the web console (simply press Ctrl+Shift+K).

Would be funny to set up a name submission form for fumbbl coaches where you write a name and then tick of for first name/last name/both, 24 boxes to tick for which races to get the name available and of course male/female/neutral.

Some admins to approve or remove suggestions and then compile all the names into a Fumbbl Name Generator.

I mean how hard could that be? Surprised

A great tool for helping people with player names when they are feeling uninspired. Good job! Themes or races would be a great way to go for future development.

Rabe: Hm, that's strange, it indicates that it finds the script successfully Smile I'm using the same FF version. Which OS are you using?

Windows XP

Mayve it interferes with some Firefox plugin? Well, it's not an urgent matter since I have bookmarked quite a few name generators that I use for inspiration. Wink

Just for your information guys, Version 2.0 is out from the name generator.

What's new? Well, it can generate you team-specific names, i.e., no more Arnold named Amazons Smile

How to update? The newest version of the script is automatically downloaded when you click the button for the next time.
