    What is the reason for the many duplicate female names? Is it to make the name more likely to appear?

    Having problems getting EB2 to run? Try these solutions.

    I do NOT answer PM requests for help with EB. Ask in a new help thread in the tech help forum.

    The number of entries in the list match with the frequencies obtained by parsing the database.
    Iohannes and Maria are both good examples here since they represent 15% & 27% of their category in the database used to establish the list (out of 6000 characters, which makes it the largest one for the mod) : it's logically the names that get the more entries, so these ones will appear more often ingame.
    Note that this is a equalized in the final list, because Iohannes would simply be 100 times more common than the least common first name. Also some dynastic & starting characters names were added to match descr_strat file (because previous generations dont always have common names).
