CANS is my collection of namelists I use in my games for more variety. Features:
- Thousands of new (mostly fictitious, alien) names for leaders, planets, spaceships, and fleets across 266 namelists - use them in your custom species, or see AI empires using them!
- Over 6500+ new star names, 400+ names for black holes, 160+ asteroid prefixes and suffixes, and 550+ nebula names - now you can play your 2000+ star galaxy mods without worrying about running out of names!
- Multiplayer and ironman compatible (I don’t think it is achievement compatible however)
- Compatible with almost any mod!
- Better and improved human namelists with thousands of new personal names from over 60+ countries and cultures not found in vanilla’s human namelists, such as Vietnamese, Polish, and Iranian names!
- New namelists are being added regularly!
I will continue to regularly add new namelists when I have the chance.
Most of the namelists are made using random fantasy name generators and are NOT real names or words unless otherwise indicated. Some of them will not be used by AI Empires by default. Feel free to use them in your mods, though credit would be appreciated.
If you have a request for a namelist, please read the second post! A changelog is also provided in the third post.

SOURCES and CREDITS
Most of these are fantasy namelists inspired by real world cultures. These were made via the random name generators from mainly two websites - donjon and http://fantasynamegenerators.com/ - which arguably have the best name generator when it comes to names that are inspired on real-world cultures. I have also used some other name generators as well.
Elder Scrolls names that were not randomly generated were taken from uesp.net.
Credits also to the following:
- @bigbantha for some of the Forerunner Planet names
- @CT-6827 for the Portuguese namelist
- @An Elder Thing for assistance with the Icelandic namelist
- FLSoz on Discord for assisting with army/fleet name formatting after the 3.4 patch
- @Ki-Koshi for the Ancient Egyptian names and the German translation
- @Scudilo for the Warhammer, Kushan, Reptilian 7 and Moluscoid 7 namelists
- @Solarak for Spanish translation
- @sylcai for some of the Inca names
- @Teutonic_Thrash for the Bactrian names
- @qweyt for the Finnish names
- And everyone else for your feedback, suggestions, and support - thank you all!
