Somali First Names

[Shrano]

The only first names for the Somali males are "Ali" and "Abu Bakr". I was considering a Somali Africa game, and this ruined it for me.. At least give them Ethiopian names, or some kind of mix between Ethiopian and Arabic names.

I use the beta, by the way, though I'd assume it'd be an issue with the normal version as well.

Hmm, could be a bug in-game or simply very bad luck. In fact, it could be related to Frankish nobles/holy men being called Martin all the time.

Anyway, the Somali name list is:

	somali = {
		graphical_culture = africangfx
		secondary_event_pictures = bedouin_arabic
		
		color = { 0.2 0.2 0.1 }

		male_names = {
			Abadir Abdale Abdirahman Abdulah_Abdullah Abram Abu-Bakr Adan Adeer Ahmed Ali Amlale Aul Awe
			Aydahis Balad Baraka Barakat Ciise Dagale Dhidhin Hamalmal Hamar Hamid Hantale Haqq Harire
			Ibrahim Irir Isman Jamal Kadhafo Kedafu Khalaf Liban Mahammad_Muhammad Mahamed_Muhammed
			Mahamud_Mahmud Mansur Nahwi Naleye Nassir Nur Omer Sa'ad Sa'adaddin Sabir Sabr Sabraddin
			Sadiq Salah Siciid Talha Umar Umardin Yayyo Yusuf Zuber_Zubeyr
		}
		female_names = {
			Aasha Adey Alaso Ambro Amburo Asha Asli Astur Awa Awrala Ayaan Barni Basr Beydaan
			Billan Canab Cawo Deeqa Delombira Dobira Faadumo Fathia Fawzia Geesi Haweeya Hibaaq
			Hodan Hoodo Iftiin Jiinow Khadra Ladan Leyla_Laila Libin Luula Magol Maka Mariam
			Mulki Nasteexo Sagal Sahra Sufia Ubah Ubax Waris Xalwo
		}
		
		founder_named_dynasties = yes
		dukes_called_kings = yes

		modifier = default_culture_modifier
	}

Plenty of male names.

It may be like the Martin thing. Every noble/holy man being called also has either the names Ali or Abu Bakr.

Yeah, sounds like they've introduced another bug. :laugh:

Yeah, this is a bug. Was first looking at children naming and there is no issue there, but as soon as you start inviting nobles to court, they all are named "Ali" and "Abu Bakr". Adding this to our internal database! Cheers for reporting this!

I was getting this with the Greeks. Everyone I tried to invite to court was called Thomas or David, and when using the random name option in the ruler designer I was only getting those two as forenames as well. Surnames seemed fine.
