No gameplay effect. Use names that match your world's phonetic register. Keep at least 10 per gender to avoid repetition. If you want surnames, include them within the `male` / `female` entries (e.g. `\"Arden Voss\"`); there is no separate `last` array -- it appeared in earlier wiki examples but is not in the schema."
