[WOTC] Human Chosen Names: German Edition

Description
...Have you ever noticed that the Chosen names lack a bit of variation?

....Have you ever thought names like "Dhar-Rai Balladhur" sound ridiculous and totally break the immersion(TM)?

...Have you ever thought "If they used to be human, why don't they have human names?"

No?

Well, maybe now you have. This mod fixes all of these issues!

In the base game, all three Chosen have their first names generated from a prefix and a suffix, both of which pull from a list of only 4 and 7 different options respectively, resulting in 28 possible different first names. For the last name, there are only 9 different choices - THAT'S NOT ENOUGH!

With this mod, all three Chosen get a German double name for their first name (e.g. Jeremy-Pascal) and a German last name (e.g. Mueller).

The prefixes, suffixes and last names each pull from a list of more than 100 different names, resulting in millions of possible, super immersive, realistic German human names!

This mod should work with both the English/ International and the German version of the game. I may or may not create a version with English names as well.

Since the developer isn't going to create an English name version, can someone do it? I'm not quite of a modder.

Awesome! Thank you for the instructions.

You can also delete entries you don't like or comment them out by adding a semicolon at the beginning of the line, so for example:

;FirstNamePrefixes[100]="Maja"

Would remove the option Maja from the pool.

The name was just the first one that was randomly generated. I don't know of any movie or other media with a character with that name.

The name lists are editable in XComGame.int / XComGame.deu in the mod's localization folder. If you add new ones, make sure to increment the array index, so if the last entry in the array is:

FirstNamePrefixes[100]="Maja"

then the next line should be:

FirstNamePrefixes[101]="YourChosenNameHere"

Forgive my stupid question, but is the name in the image (Nikolaus-Tobias Lang) from something? I feel like I recognize it from a movie or something, but I can't figure it out, and Google isn't giving up any secrets. I literally won't sleep until you give me an answer. (P.S. I like the idea. Is the name list editable, so we can make our own additions?)

This is more of a joke mod, not a lore one.

You should at least add Tomko to the list of The Hunter's names. According to the XCOM 2 FACTIONS book that was his name before becoming The Hunter.
