List of character names that can be used in vanilla

Obviously you're french so you should know that Michelot Chevrier is nothing near a medieval french name :P Well the people I study everyday are mostly extracted from very low nobility but they have the same pattern as high nobility. Just imagine you have 10 to 20 names for your whole map at a same point when I could gather 300 for my list only from one roll. If you really think than one of the 10 or 20 most important names of the time could be a peasant well, not me hehe. I can't tell how much immersion you gain by just correcting the french list, perhaps I should make you a list of my actual general names so you see my point of view.
As a side note, Jean Coeur would be a noble name (you probably know Jacques Coeur) :P Peasants have occupationnal names or no names, more simply (you can just remove surname for spies and assassins if you really want to be picky). Use of locative names over the surnames is more a regional distinction than a social one .They are very common in the franco-provençal and occitan higher nobilities, I could give you example like Artaud, Adhémar, Blacas, Fermineau, Porcellet, Allemand, Pellet, Atton, Taillefer which are all names of great famillies. On the other hand, a family like the Piolenc, which aren't nobles before the 14th c. use the name "de Piolenc" (I can provide a lot more example from my area).

Well, since I started this topic I joined the Mediaeval Auctoriso team and discovered they had a similar effort under way. Of course we haven't finished all yet because of the provincial titles mini mod and other works but we have completed a good part of MA & vanilla factions. Since you seem yourself involved with a major modification I'm not sure how we could join our efforts now. I would have to discuss that with the other team members but it may be a bit too late for another community effort since there's another similar project under way at twc (although I really don't agree with their choices ending with a mix of english, french and italian like Baldwin de Montescaglio ...).

Hello Solo.

Thanks for response. I didn’t know that you joined MA. Now I see from your reply, signature and I checked in MA forum…
No, I never had any intentions to join MA. And this has nothing with my work with Invasio Barbarorum or my previous work with MTR.

Btw, about peasants names and surnames – from what I know in medieval Germany (better say HRE) surname Bauer was prohibited because whole land would be “plagued” with it.

Well I posted in my other project thread but forgot to do it in this one since it was hardly read by anyone. I would say I'm even surprised with the popularity of the new thread there. Maybe I just launched that a bit too early ...

Never asked you to do that either, you probably misunderstood me. I just talked of a community project but this would be obviously too late already since another team is doing that elsewhere and even if that, I would at least have to ask my team first (that seems like a polite thing to do when several people have been involved with the project).
