Depends on your Ideas and Army Tradition. Or an event can do it too. Irregardless, you are lucky to get generals like that.

Generals always have the same name on the current patch, at least for me.

Everytime you open a new session it seems like you get the same name but if you continue playing and create another or use the die it won’t always be the same.

Is the unlikely part the quality of the generals or the fact that they both have the same name?
Ahhh I didn’t even look at the names. But with the ability to name generals now I don’t think that is particularly odd (though, as you said, OP could have just not known). I’m guessing the same names is a bug that came with making your generals

Yea was discussing the fact they both had the same name I thought it was in the same session too. I would be interested to see how big the name pool is? I am assuming it is culture based?

The first leader created in a session does indeed always seem to have the same name. Apart from that the lengt of the name list is an important factor in the chances of the same names coming up. Although I suspect Russia to have a decent size name list, as it's an important country during the time frame.
