Just check the word's symbol. Have your script check what symbol each word in the name is. Make some symbols male only, some female, and some both.

Do it by flipping a coin.

Question:  Does this work for every civilization with [CIV_CONTROLLABLE], every civilization (hey that goblin was related to one that I killed last year!), or just the dwarves?

Just for the civilisation of your current fort, it says in the description.

Though making it run over *all* historical figures is not particularly hard to do. In computeHeritage(), just remove the check for "if ( unit.race == dwarfRace ) then" (and the corresponding "end" line).

That's basically right, but there'd be weird interactions if you run it on all races simultaneously. If there's any overlap in last names, last names would be aged according to the first person who had it, not necessarily the first person who had it in your civilization. It would probably be fine, if that doesn't bother you.

This is fantastic work.

Is there a way to make it run automatically every time a baby is born?

[expwnent]

Thanks!

Right now you can't make it run automatically for new dwarves, but you can make it run periodically with "-repeatEvery month" or "-repeatEvery year".

[Dunamisdeos]

Thats just as good. Thanks

This is a pretty neat script, and I have another idea for choosing the last name: Have the child take the surname of the higher skilled parent.

This would make the script take longer, admittedly.

[expwnent]

That would be fairly easy to do. I forget if historical dwarves have skills though.

They do.  The skills they come in with are not just generated on the spot.

this is a crazy complicated naming system.
could there be a naming system that is a little more logical.

like having a maternal and a paternal family name and the order of them is based on gender.

so for females its PN MN
and for males its MN PN

tracking family trees will be easier with this.

just an idea

I like the idea of the higher skilled dwarf passing along their family name.  Reminds me of the Chinese family honour system, with value attached to family names "closer" to the emperor.  Fame based on skill works really well - "Legendary" people historically have more people named after them too.

This slated to be updated in any way? It seems to not work for me...just gives me an error

"cannot read field histfig_hf_link_motherst.anon_1: not found" and then a string of other errors

[Dunamisdeos]

This is the coolest idea and I hope it gets updated.

I'll get to this. Unbelievably busy at the moment.
