The title pretty much says it. It would make a lot more sense if formable nations kept the ruler and leader name tables as well as province names of the forming nation. The best example from actual gameplay would be Aragon, which if you use to form Spain, your ruler named Ferran magically becomes Fernando, and all successors default to the Castillian names, rather than maintaining the Aragonese or Catalan names that they began with.

Additionally, from what I can tell, Navarra doesn't have many Basque names in their table to begin with, which is kind of strange, and as such many names that actually do have a Basque variation are still in Castillian despite the fact that the Aragonese and Catalan variations of the same names are in the files for Aragon and Catalonia.

Outside of Iberia, there aren't many other countries that seem to have that issue, especially as most names and languages didn't have the same degree of regional variation that existed in Iberia (especially as Basque is not an Indo-European language, and Aragonese and Catalan are more similar to the Gallo-Romance Occitan languages than to the Ibero-Romance Castillian and Portuguese).

I guess it's not that big of a deal, it's just sometimes kind of immersion breaking.
