FIRSTLY - Yes, I posted this on the SI Forums first. Also not sure this is the correct subforum, just want to get it out there in case anybody can help me. Thanks!

Watching the U-17 World Cup, I started focusing on how unique the names from each country are. (I'm a nerd, I know). This led me to think of FM and how some nations don't exactly have the most varied selection of names assigned to regens. I googled this idea in regards to FM and couldn't find much, but I did find this post.

But in any case, if there was a file you could download to increase the number of names in a nation it would have been done by now I'm sure.

The only way I know of is going into the pre-game editor and creating as many new people as you can (doesn't matter what type, they can be players, coaches, referees, etc as long as you can assign a nationality to them) . Then loading that file at game start. The game picks regen names from existing people in the game of the same nationality.

That's not a bad idea for an editor project if anyone wants to do it - Name Packs for every nation exclusively full of referees (without competitions assigned for them to oversee, just a name and a nationality) that you won't see in the game but whose names will be used for regens.

Does anybody know if 1. this is accurate and 2. if anybody has created such a file? I feel it would go a long way in adding variety and become a must have for long term saves where the DB becomes a world of regens.

So, anybody with any knowledge here please respond! I'd be willing to help out with a file like this.
