[RF] Tribal Pawn Names [1.0]

Description
This mod overhauls tribal pawn naming. Why? Well, the tribal names in the game have always felt a bit... "off" to me. It's probably nothing more than my own unfamiliarity with the cultures from which the names are drawn, but I always thought they seemed a bit more "Spanish" than tribal.

The changes made by the mod are as follows:

- Tribal pawn names are now Native American in style. (I drew the names from online "Native American baby names" lists, by the way, which I'm well aware mix and match names from many different nations, and also feature many inauthentic names. But while they have many flaws, they provided the sort of names I was looking for. No disrespect to actual Native Americans is intended.)

- Tribal pawn nicknames can now include various adjectives, terrain features, weapons and the like. So you might run into a tribal pawn named Vengeful Weasel, for example, or Deadly Scythe.

- Since tribal names don't follow a "personal name followed by family name" pattern, anyway, the game no longer forces tribal pawns to share last names if they're related.

- Tribal factions and settlements will now have names consistent with the style of the individual pawns' names.

- Pets in tribal factions will also now be given tribal-style names rather than colonist-style names.

- Rainbeau Flambe (dburgdorf)

Compatibility:

"Tribal Pawn Names" should be compatible with any other mods, and you should be able to add it to or remove it from a game in progress without causing any problems.

Credits:

The mod utilizes Pardeike's "Harmony Patch Library." (No additional download is required, as the library is included with the mod.)

License:

If you're a modpack maker and want to include "Tribal Pawn Names" in your pack, or if you're a modder and want to use it as the basis of a derivative mod, please feel free to do so. I ask only that you let me know about it.

The Ludeon forums discussion thread for my mods can be found here[ludeon.com].

If you have any (helpful) suggestions for improvement, please let me know!

My mods are free, but if you'd like to buy me a Dr Pepper[ko-fi.com], I wouldn't complain.

The culture/language you are unfamiliar with is Gallician; it's a Celtic language from Northwest Iberia during Roman times. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gallaecian_language

Maybe you can add this in the description somewhere now that you are familiar with it.

Boooo! Hack! Add more names that I like.

@Entil'Zha "Tansy" - wow, naming someone after a plant that's been used to cancel unwanted pregnancies is ... zynism to say the least.

@Rainbeau Flambe

Well actually the Native American name translations in the app I use can be VERY diverse and interesting, such as Tehya which translates to "predous" which, well, honestly I can't find a definition for "predous", and then there is Tansy which translates to "name of a flower", then there are the more *NORMAL* names like Kuwanyamtiwa which means "beautiful badger going over the hill" and Magena which means "moon".

There really would be plenty of the sort of names Rimworld ships with, they'd just be in a different language but then their meaning would be lost on us for story telling character building purposes.

Still though I love the concept of this mod, I just wish it had some tribal names from the other continents as well.

That comment was of course referring to vanilla tribal pawns' actual names, not their nicknames.
