Current Version 3.4.0 (Released 5/12/22, Compatible with 3.4/Cepheus)
At the moment, [U]while the mod is stable and working, there are currently some minor localization bugs with fleet and army names[/U] due to changes with how they work in the 3.4/Cepheus patch. [U]I am working on fixing them[/U], but it will take time as I'll have to rewrite some code for all 250+ namelists and I wanted to get the update out ASAP first instead of having everyone wait (especially since I'm also busy with my CK3 mods). Thanks for your patience and understanding!

[LIST]
Hundreds of thousands of new (mostly fictitious, alien) names for leaders, planets, spaceships, and fleets across 260 namelists - use them in your custom species, or see AI empires using them!
Over 6500+ new star names, 400+ names for black holes, 160+ asteroid prefixes and suffixes, and 550+ nebula names - now you can play your 2000+ star galaxy mods without worrying about running out of names!
Multiplayer and ironman compatible (I don’t think it is achievement compatible however)
Compatible with almost any mod!
Better and improved human namelists with thousands of new personal names from over 60+ countries and cultures not found in vanilla’s human namelists, such as Vietnamese, Polish, and Iranian names!
New namelists are being added regularly!

CANS is my collection of namelists I use in my games for more variety.
Most of the namelists are made using random fantasy name generators and are NOT real names or words unless otherwise indicated. Feel free to use them in your mods, though credit would be appreciated.
Additional Information
ATTENTION: the full list of namelists is now in this discussion thread here because Steam has a limit to how long a mod description can be. For the full list of namelists, please see this discussion thread here.

My Other Mods
Basic Ordinary Origins: A mod that adds in several new simple, “default” Origins for player and AI to use so not everyone gets Prosperous Unification
More AI Personalities: A mod that introduces tons of new AI personalities, adding more variety to the game.
No Ethics Spawn Bias: With this mini-mod, ethics of randomly generated AI empires are more evenly weighted to appear, so there’s less of a chance you’ll be surrounded by hostile empires as in vanilla.
