Research npc names

[Pav]

Today I have all the names generated automatically based on the engine I have. But this only supports name of countries that you see in box2glory. It would be nice to get some common names (first and last) from other countries that I might add in a future. This is the format that I would like as you are doing this. I am using Ireland as an example.

Jack Murphy Ireland
Sean Kelly Ireland
Conor OSullivan Ireland
Adam Walsh Ireland

Hello Pavlik,

With Argentina and a lot of South America, there was immigration from all over the world so a lot of Argentine fighters have Italian surnames but it isn't uncommon to find British, German, Jewish, Middle Eastern and Balkan surnames amongst the population. Here is a few names you can use.

Carlos Bejarano Argentina
Sebastian Rossi Argentina
Jose Maria Bianco Argentina
Matias Berkowitz Argentina
Juan Jose Weiss Argentina
Omar Conti Argentina
Tomas Abelowicz Argentina
Carlos Mohammed Argentina
Ramon Eisenberg Argentina
Marcelo D'Agostino Argentina
Diego Jaeger Argentina
Felipe Braun Argentina
Juan Carlos Krause Argentina
Gustavo Ricci Argentina
Pablo Giordano Argentina
Marcos Bianchi Argentina
Carlos Moretti Argentina
Alberto Giminez Argentina

[Pav]

Yes, you play in Argentina right? How do you find the names for boxers that you see there? I did research for Argentina already.

If people have infor on countries that they know they can send me list in a text file to my email.

For example I am planning to add Thailand and need to research those name.

Hello Pavlik,

I have just made those names up but they are typical Argentinian names of the everyday person.
If you want the names of real Argentine boxers then I could search boxrec and post them up on here. I like the look of the game and want to help!

[Pav]

Cool deal.
I will add your names to the Argentina first and last name list.

I am working on Ireland right now. Could you help with some first and last names from boxrec ~ 100 last and 20 first would do. I already have 100 most common last names and 25 first names.

I like to have at least 200 last name and 50 first names before I launch a country to make it more fun and less name duplicates.

Also would need Puerto Rico and New Zealand. But maybe for Puerto Rico I can use same as Mexico and New Zealand same as Australia. Anyone knows?

Thanks for your help bejarano. Making it easier for me.
Can you in the future just sent me these in the email?

[bejarano]

Sure, lots of Irish names are necessary as the Irish emigrated all over the English speaking world and took up boxing. You can use these names for American, Australian, Canadian and New Zealand fighters.

[Pav]

Ok, I am off to start adding Thailand - so if anyone wants to help research those very foreign to me names - That would be helpful.

I also need. Italian, French, Danish first names and last names (surnames)

[Pav]

Guess there is no such thing as a common Thai name. They are all required to be unique by law. I am going to be hunting for them. Scouting sport team rosters, etc.

[Grossmeister]

If you know Russian language you can use this site kurufin.narod.ru/html/namegenerator.html#3
There have a generator name from different nations.
