Naming Theme Suggestions

[mike2R]

I found a nice list of nicknames for different types of aircraft here: https://web.mit.edu/btyung/www/nickname.html which I've tidied up for import.

Some lists of virtues.  One list of 100 virtues, one of 24 Roman virtues (latin versions), and one list of Benjamin Franklin's 13 virtues.

A hundred or so idioms coined (or at least popularised) by Shakespear (eg: "Cruel to Be Kind", "Green Eyed Monster")

Texas related naming themes:

Minor error in the Texas Animals list - whenever you've got a word ending apostrophe s, the s is capitalised (eg: Bryde'S Whale)

Cool lists!

A couple more lists.  First one is Biblical idioms (Letter of the Law, Salt of the Earth, etc).  The second is a list of IAU approved names for exoplanets.

A couple of basic ones I did for making themed names with Prefixes or Suffixes, one of common adjectives and one of adverbs.

Thank you for the catch! The animals list has been updated above.

A list of British East India Company Ships, and another of Chinese cities.

I've also made up a list of digits, zero padded, between 0001 and 5000.  The use for this is to allow more flexible number naming than the default Name Plus Number option.  By using this with a Prefix, I don't have to use the class name and can for example let an updated version of a class continue to be named with the same numbering system.

I've also generated the numbers One to Five Thousand as English words, but this is basically useless since the game sorts them alphabetically on import.  Posted here anyway since I've already made it. As kindly pointed out by nuclearslurpee, this picks the numbers in the correct order when naming things, it just displays the list sorted alphabetically when selecting from it manually.

Edit: Fixed a number of errors in the Chinese Cities list.

Have you tested this with actual ship names? The names are displayed alphabetically in a list, but the actual order in the DB used to name ships is not necessarily sorted.

I hadn't!  Thanks, it works! 

That explains the "mystery" of how the Class Theme and System Theme lists don't name things in alphabetical order...

Since the file order is preserved for auto naming, I've made a list of the numbers 1 - 5000 as digits, without leading zeros.  These will appear sorted alphabetically when using select name, but will auto name in numeric order.
