ClayInfinity: Nope, at the moment there's no distinction betwen the races, maybe in the next version 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 |

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!

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. )
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. |

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? |

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 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. |

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