Oh, thanks a lot. This is better than the list I was putting together. However it's a little long, so I'll use this list and put priority on keeping the names that are in both lists and seem to have occured most frequently, then choose the names I like most in your list for addition afterwards.

I don't know, because Ivar too is used by the same Scandinavian vikings who used Ingvar as a name.

[Agraes]

For the Welsh :
Hael = The generous

Arthwys, Morfran, Urbgen, and many more... if you want more name ideas : http://www.earlybritishkingdoms.com/bios/index.html

[Jarlabanke]

Might be Igor=Ingvar otherwise Oleg=Helge Rurik=Rörek Vladimir=Valdemar.
Oh and Gråfell is usually Greycloak, Lodbrok means pretty much "hairy pants". According legend his sturdy pants saved him from snakebite at some point.
Ejegod means evergood.
Hårdråde= "Hard ruler".
Some of the Beowulf have been confirmed as historical persons Hygalec, for example.

[Rodion Romanovich]

@Jarlabanke: Yes, that seems correct. Also thanks for the translations! The reason why Beowulf names might not be applicable is because the story is so old. The names should be useable between 843 AD and 1099 AD.

@ALL: Thanks, I'll have a closer look at all this soon and update all lists.

[GoreBag]

Well, I was going to thrown in some names, but Ranika, once again, outdid me. I can only suggest Mhaolain as a Scottish (not Irish) surname off the top of my head.

[Ranika]

Here are some 'Scottish' only names (taken from the rolls of the noble houses of the Picts); hardly complete, but should give some variation against the Gaelic names:

Male
Bort
Branta
Brude
Caveral
Draggal
Drest
Drust
Drustan
Fabian
Logde
Morthamaer
Norden
Orban
Orbis

Surnames
Brude
Caitnathar
Croibhan
Fibbian
Gwalland
Mortam
Ollimar

[skeletor]

Norwegians:

Sverre = my name Sweeet

- Surnames:
Kyrre, Harald - Add "son" to these two, as "son off" these are firstnames (you have Harald in the firstname list, so we could get a "Mr Harald Harald "

Filippus - This is an imported latin name, and the king rouled in the start of the 1200 . It wold not be apropriate for a peagan Norwegian king.

Jorsalfar - Means "Jearusalem fearer", or "crusader" and should be added to "Cognomina".

Now only Saxons, HRE and Magyars are left. I'll post lists for them too soon.

[Ranika]

You should definitely include more B names on the Irish list; Brian, Broidhan (different from Briodhan), and Brennan at least. I also recommend keeping for the Irish and Scots; Troidhan (important general of Brian Boroime's), the surname of 'Boroime' (name of the emperor of Ireland; actually a title meaning 'cattle counter', since he was king of Ireland and so wealthy), and the surname Ui Kanlae/Kanlae (the progenators of both the Irish and Scottish 'Mac/McKinley' clans, it was allies under Broc Ui Kanlae that went to Scotland to help the Scots fight the viking invaders).

Garbhan and Gabhran are alternate versions of the same name; both are versions of Garret (which was common in Ireland, but the Scots seemed to prefer Garbhan, which is probably from a Pict version of the name). Brude is the most common Pict version of Broidh or Boidhe (Boyd). Drust is more common than Drest, both also appear with 'an' as an ending though, so probably Drustan is most appropriate.

[oj121]

Um seeing as youlooked at Welsh rulers,you managed to miss the last independant Welsh Prince. He was Llywellyns brother called Dafydd.

[Rodion Romanovich]

@Ranika and oj121: I've updated the first post with your suggestions now. Thanks!

[Ranika]

Some Gaelic names you can use associated with traits, with brief descriptions of what they mean;

Boruma/Boróime - 'Cattle-Counter'; probably for a trait that gives high acumen or command (representing great wealth through business acumen or conquest)
na Curadh/na Seaimpín - 'the Champion'; for something that provides additional health to the general (this represents personal combat skill, not command ability)
na Boicht - 'the Poor'; for a trait with poor acumen perhaps, but also used to describe the particularly pious who donated much wealth, even if they weren't poor
Glúindibh - 'Black-knee'; has to do with constant prayer
nOrlaigh - 'the Hammering One/the Hammer'; given to brutal commanders
nAghaidhathaill - 'the Bold'; given to individually brave or bold commanders
na Goilldiach - 'the Lion'; given to great commanders
nGiall Óg - 'Master of the Hostages'; given to one who has taken many captors and slaves (not 'of the Nine Hostages', only Niall was known as that)
Callaig Óg - 'Master Speaker'; a particularly inspiring speaker; perhaps for a trait that increases troop morale, or a diplomat trait

[Ranika]

A cross post from the faction thread; I was being absent minded when I wrote up the 'surnames' for the Irish; none of them should be 'Ui'; this is the plural 'of'; that is 'Ui Connaill' refers to the entirety of the clan 'of Connell'. It should be the singular 'Ua Connaill', a single clansman of the Connell. However, for variety, the Irish may also use 'Uo' for a few of these names; Uo is from the period's dialect in Connacht. Also, you can use ó (not O', that's anglicized) instead of 'Ui', this was a Leinster/Munster form of 'Ua', and a singular 'Of'. Dal is still as valid in this period; it's another form of 'Ua', but was most popular in Ulster/Dal Riadda/Alba.

[Rodion Romanovich]

Cool!

I've made some progress on the subject of names. After looking through every single txt file, I've found that the historical battles files also use names, so they have to be removed from there before they can be removed from the names files. Path is:
Rome - Total War\Data\world\maps\battle\custom\Battle_of_Asculu m
for instance. File descr_battle.txt is the one of interest.

All descr_strat.txt files, one per campaign, also contain links to names.
Rome - Total War\Data\world\maps\campaign\imperial_campaign\des cr_strat.txt

Rome - Total War\Data\world\maps\campaign\vikings\descr_strat.t xt

Rome - Total War\Data\world\maps\campaign\sons_of_mars\descr_st rat.txt

The names linked to from all these files most likely have to lead to a name existing in the names files.

Some other files that may be of interest for the subject, as they contain names from the names file:
1. Rome - Total War\Data\world\maps\campaign\sons_of_mars\editor_l og.txt
not likely, as it's a .log file; it's probably not used for reading by the engine, only for writing, if at all
2. Prologue_Campaign_Script.txt
Haven't checked it yet. May contain names.

Adding a name shouldn't be a problem - I think. Removing a name is probably more difficult, as it mustn't exist in any of the files mentioned above to be possible to remove.

A solution could be to
1. remove as many names as possible from these files that link to names, then make a list of the few remaining of the original names that had to be kept.
2. add as many as possible of the new names
3. change dependencies in the files mentioned above to link to any of the new names
4. remove the last old names

That's what I'll try to do. Might take some time...

[GoreBag]

Meneldil, should not the Frankish surnames use another word for "of" rather than just..."of"? I don't know much about Frankish in this period (or even if it's still considered Frankish at the time), but we should use a different word, I think.

[skeletor]

Thats great Legio..

But using "show err" usually points the way to the file were there is an error, so with some try/fail, you should be able to find all files related to the names rather fast don't you think?

-Skel-

[Meneldil]

Actually, the game crash without error message when there's a problem with names. Adding names is a real pain, as far as I can say.

Yeah, but I don't know a latin equivalent for 'of'

[GoreBag]

A great deal of latin prepositions are suffixes. The difference between "Vae Victus" and "Vae Victis", for example ("Woe vanquised" vs. "Woe to the vanquised"). Pathetically, I'm having trouble finding the right suffix, and I have no texts available to help me.

[Forgus]

I believe there is no such thing;
Like in Scipio Africanus, the frefix is incorporated into the place name. See also Germanicus, Hispanicus etc. But I speak no Latin myself...

[Meneldil]

Yeah, well, I guess I'll have to find my old latin text and studies ;-)

[Ranika]

It is correct that there is no 'of' in Latin. My Latin is far too poor to do anything but confirm that though.

Some of them, especially the women names are probably inaccurate but there are only a few source materials and the Latin alphabet is unable writing Magyar word exactly.

In this era there weren't surnames.

I wrote this in a different topic but I believe it belongs in here....

Some names for you. Full names should be like (for males) X fia Y, like Aba fia Adony: Adony son Aba. I hope it will do.
