Schema
{
"randomNames": {
"male": [
"string"
],
"female": [
"string"
]
}
}
Example
{
"male": ["Arden", "Bram", "Corvin", "Dalen", "Ewin", "Faros", "Greld", "Holt", "Idric", "Jarren"],
"female": ["Aela", "Bryn", "Cara", "Deva", "Erin", "Fael", "Gwen", "Hale", "Isra", "Jora"]
}
Define separate lists for male and female. 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.
