New version up for 2.6/Verne. For those in quarantine and chill due to the Corona Virus, good luck, stay safe, and hopefully this will help keep you entertained!
Changelog:
Just a few new namelists, nothing much.
Changelog:
- Added three new namelists: Armenian (Markov), Mapuche (Markov), Urartian (Markov)
Additionally, if you haven't seen it on Steam Workshop, I've uploaded a new Stellaris mod called Basic Ordinary Origins, which adds in several new "default" origins akin to Prosperous Unification that have simple but flavorful effects, and are meant to give your game more variety; I've elected not to start a new thread on the forums, as it seems redundant given there isn't as much activity on the forums these days (though I still update this thread out of duty), so please check it out if you're interested!

can i pop down a request for a Shakespearian namelist if there is not one already?
Just a quick update to the 2.7/Wells patch. The 2.6 version of the mod probably ran fine on it, but just to be safe and all. As always, manual download version included in the first post for the two or three people who still use that.
Apologies for the late reply, I don't really look through these threads much.
And sure! Though I'm not sure what a Shakespearian namelist would entail. I have a Fantasy English, Fantasy American, and Pirate namelist that would work for something Shakespearean sounding, unless you mean something more specific.
im not entirally sure myself, friend of mine has a race of fish people that use names found in shakespeare but so far ive only seen roman names like Octavion, Brutark, Caesar, Flavius and a couple odd names like Pyroshark and Onyx
ill ask him about what kinds of names would be in there
That sounds probably like one of my Roman namelists, or those of fantasy races inspired by them, like the Imperials from Elder Scrolls.
he was getting it from Shakespeare who has some of his works based in Rome, same source different route (hes actually never played this game)
as i said ill check the difference between just strait up roman names and shakespeare names with him
ok so Shakespeareian would be a combination of Old Greek, Old Roman and Old English names along with anything else you find in his works, you could also for the hell of it throw in Shakespeare himself into the mix
Hmm I see.... No guarantees if and when I'll get it out, but I'll keep it on my to-do list!
Just a maintenance update for 2.8/Wells patch. The 2.7 version of the mod probably would've been okay on it, but I changed it in case anyone gets paranoid seeing the red exclamation mark.
Just a tiny update... nah, just kidding, I'm not lying above - CANS is well over 4 1/2 years old now and this is definitely the biggest update I've done for it ever. Manual upload in the first post is also available for the two or three or you who still use that.
I fixed a couple Stellaris pet peeves of mine in my personal mod, which gave me some motivation to work on this update, which includes 15 new namelists (compared to 16 in the initial release). Besides that, the update includes a lot of other additions, improvements, and bugfixes. For example, I went through and added new species names so Lithoid and Necroid AI Empires can spawn with CANS’ namelists and, along the way, added in new species names for all phenotypes in many namelists as well - excluding the 15 new namelists, there are *over 2000* brand new potential species names for randomly generated AI Empires.
Lastly, though I fixed several bugs, and of course the mod is stable and tested, given the immense size of this update there may be others out there - let me know in detail if you encounter anything suspicious. It appears a very rare bug where an empire shows up without a name is back, but I haven’t been able to figure out if it’s caused by my mod or something else.
Changelog:
- Added 15 new namelists: Akan (Markov), Angel (Fantasy), Arthropoid 8, Hungarian (Markov), Maya (Markov), Necroid 5, Necroid 6, Necroid 7, Necroid 8, Polish (Markov), Reptilian 11 (Credits to Scudilo), Tagalog (Fantasy), Tagalog 2 (Markov), Wild West (Fantasy), Yeneisian (Markov)
- Added Tagalog, Serbian, Croatian, Xhosa, and Maori names to the CANS names to the CANS namelist
- Added new species names for randomly spawned AI Empires using the vanilla Necroid namelists
- Added 2000+ new species names using CANS’ namelists mainly for Lithoids and Necroids (which didn’t have any previously), but also for all other phenotypes to a lesser extent
- Added a few hundred new star names
- Added several new nebula, asteroid, and black hole names
- Added missing randomly generated species/planet names for Rep 10 namelist
- Removed “The” prefix from all namelists’ randomly generated fleet names for consistency with vanilla (and to make name length smaller)
- Renamed a few of the army names and fleet names for existing namelists
- Somehow fixed the bug with Plantoids not using namelists added in CANS (or maybe that was a vanilla fix)
- Fixed missing army names for Machine Defense, Machine Assault, and Undead armies in CANS namelists
- Miscellaneous bugfixes, some courtesy of LordofLA
(Also, I changed the thread flair/tag from Mini-Mod to Mod, there's way too many namelists now lol.)

Lovely update! What markov generator do you use for the different names that you've made via markov? Is it freely available? Or is it a trade secret
Lovely update! What markov generator do you use for the different names that you've made via markov? Is it freely available? Or is it a trade secret
Thanks! The markov generator I've been using in the past few years can be found online for free: https://www.samcodes.co.uk/project/markov-namegen/
It has a few options for customization that helps me fine-tune things if necessary (though the most important setting is to set "Order" to 2, in my opinion - the default 3 makes it *too* similar to the words they're based off of, while 1 is too chaotic and often results in unpronounceable gibberish). The above site even comes with some preset data sets, some of which I've used in some of my namelists.
Anyways, I'm pretty used to using it that I more or less have an assembly line method with utilizing it now.
New update is up, and manual upload will be up in the front for the four or five of you who use that. This update brings the total number of namelists to over 250 now, which is a pretty cool milestone all things considered. Anyways, we'll see how long it'll take for me to get to 300, if I do.
Changelog:
[h1]Version 2.8.2 (Released 1/16/21)[/h1]
- Added 8 new namelists: Albanian (Markov), Bith (Star Wars), Burmese (Markov), Etruscan (Markov), Gothic (Markov), Orc (Dungeons and Dragons), Saka/Khotanese (Markov), Swahili (Markov)
- Added Albanian names to the CANS names to the CANS namelist
- Fixed nameless randomly generated empires due to spawning with the Space Jurchen namelist (other cases causing nameless empires may still be out there)
- Fixed duplicate Warhammer 40k Necron and Imperium namelists
I like that, I'll make a note for that next time.

Hello hello I am back again.
I got back into the game and felt the name list I had made could use a beef up. I took the liberty to use the txt document from the latest state of your mod to update a list. I edited it with the same tool as before, some programme called Stellaris_name_list.jar.
Never ended up saying thank you for the speedy inclusion of the list. Hopefully there won't be tweaks to make this time around. Cheers!

Thanks for giving me the heads up on Steam! I'll integrate your changes and have them in the next update.

- Changed numbers of 01 so 10 doesn’t look out of place
- Added new black hole name: Bad End
- Revamped Portugal (Real) namelist, credits to CT-6827
- Miscellaneous bugfixes

Any chance you could do an English/American name list as part of CAN's as well. I love the vast range of real world names in there but I can't help notice a lack of Bob Smith, John Bell, Tina Carpenter and other Anglican names showing up in there. I tend to play lost colony and it makes sense to me something like that would have people named Chetan Reddy, Anna Smith, Mohammad Al-Abaddi and Sayako Tanaka simply because a desperate hope effort like the lore implies would be mult-national in nature not a Chinese ship, American Ship, Scum Ship (used to ship out various countries repeat offenders) and so on. Yet I always need to rename some of leaders to get this.
CANS is now updated to 3.1/Lem, just a standard maintenance update. Anyways, manual installation in first post as usual as well.
Changelog:
- Updated to 3.1/Lem
- Added new namelist: Nivkh (Markov)
- Fixed missing Juggernaut names in vanilla CANS namelist
- Miscellaneous fixes
Apologies for late response, I haven't been doing much Stellaris stuff lately - anyways, if you look at the code for the CANS human namelists, the chances of names appearing is roughly weighted based on real world population, though tweaked heavily to avoid an overabundance of Chinese and Indian names. If anything, it should be much more realistically diverse than the vanilla versions, which lean too heavily towards a few Euro nationalities. As such, Anglo names will be rarer than in vanilla depending on your RNG. If you want to change it, I suggest downloading the manual installation version and tweaking the value of "weight" for each nationality in the files named "HUMAN_CANS.txt", "HUMAN1.txt", and/or "HUMAN2.txt" in common/namelists
