Custom name list

A picture says more than a thousand words and this one speaks for itself.

It is actually pretty easy to do this with a mod (it takes one file for each names list and one file to give every list a unique name). The main problem is the fact that adding names list modifies the checksum and therefore disables achievements.

Also let us mix-and-match namelists! I want the Leader Names of Arthropoid 1 and the Fleet Names of Avian 2!

It doesn't just mess with the checksum it also forces my friends to get this mod from me if I want to bring it into multiplayer. That's a lot of hassle that really shouldn't be there.

Secondly:
modding is also scary for some people, a easy to use UI in the game would open the door for custom names to everyone instead of just me and you.

Bumping for long overdue feature that should be integrated with the costum empire creation

For Ships, I'd also love the feature to have ascending numbers. So I get Combat Drone 1, Combat Drone 2, etc. Then in late game I can look at Combat Drone 871 and admire how far I've come.
