Name from ancestor option goes through ancestors of biological father
Description
The name from ancestor option may inadvertently reveal whether the child has been conceived by the husband of the pregnant woman or not
Steps to reproduce
1. Marry a woman with high fertility and potentially luxurious and fornicator trait
2. Wait
3. With some luck, a child will be born soon
4. Keep clicking on the name from ancestor option once the child is born
5. If no name from your actual ancestry ever come up after repeated trying, there are high chances that this is not your biological child, but the child of someone else...
I'm unfortunately unable to reproduce your issue on a fresh game. I tried both with custom character and a character from already established Dynasty (Rurikid) as a real father. Then I switched to a character who was husband of a seduced character. I made sure with debug and the child was indeed a result of seduction, however regardless of how long I cycled through the Ancestor names - the names from real father's Dynasty never came up.
Do you have a save of a game where the issue occurred and before child was born? If yes, and if you could send it, could you describe which character was the real father and which was seduced?
