PS. Are names in countries also generated from different first and last name sources? For example Estonian first name and Finnish last name.


No, what we do is:

Step 1: Choose a name database to grab from.
Step 2: Grab a first name, last name, and face from that database.


This was always a gripe of mine in Hattrick. That model works pretty well in countries where ethnicities are still quite well-defined, but in countries like Canada or the USA that are a bit more multicultural and and have centuries worth of different immigrants, pulling both names from the same DB can be pretty limiting... e.g. I rarely saw an English first name and a French surname in HT Canada, which is a pretty common scenario IRL.

OTOH, one of my original players was "Mikey Li", and "Dirk Trujillo" is world-famous... so maybe this isn't an issue. Anyway, something to think about.

Will this include the ability for players that undergo religious conversions to change their names... ie. Lew Alcindor -> Kareem Abdul-Jabbar & Keith Wilkes -> Jamaal Wilkes ?
