We have updated our Community Code of Conduct. Please read through the new rules for the forum that are an integral part of Paradox Interactive’s User Agreement.

I'll also take the opportunity to say that I think people like yourself who spends time on making detailed submissions in this subforum are one of the best aspects of this community.
We aim to make the best game we can within the constraints we have, that does not always mean we can meet every request but threads like these help a lot.
As usual I will add though that I can make no specific promises (apart from that typo) on what gets in and when

You will be pleased to know then that Lomsia and Tao have been made Georgian and Orthodox since that screenshot was taken
Something you should be aware of if going through the name databases is that the first names in the culture file are not actually used apart from for custom countries.
In normal play the first names will be taken from the country files instead.
Advisors take their name from a country list for the countries that have cores on their home province for instance.
The listed names with the odds "0" in the country file are never going to be used for rulers, and those with a negative number are treated as female names.
The "leader names" in the country file are last names used for advisors, merchants, diplomats and generals.
The dynasty names in the culture file are only used for pretenders and rulers with new random dynasties (again unless you play custom countries, if so then the dynasty lists are used for last names instead).
In general we don't spend much time on the custom country exclusive lists (they are pretty horrible in some places even for English culture and in Scandinavia) so I am much more interested in feedback on the (quite old) name lists in the country files.

Went through and added your name lists @Delurker . Expect to see them in patch 1.23.
Thank you for taking the time to make them for us
