OpenXcom allows customization of the soldier names used when generating new soldiers. They are stored in the Data\SoldierName folder with a .nam extension.
Format
Each file contains a set of soldier names stored in YAML format.
maleFirst: - Austin - Calvin - Carl ... femaleFirst: - Barbara - Catherine - Evelyn ... maleLast: - Bradley - Bryant - Carr - ... femaleLast: - ...
When generating a name for a new soldier, a random first and last name are picked from a random set. If femaleFirst or femaleLast are omitted, then respectively maleFirst or maleLast are used for both genders.
Soldier names should only use the basic A-Z alphabet, since they are shared among languages, to ensure everyone can read them.
