More Avali Names by Orhu · Pull Request #5506 · ss14Starlight/space-station-14

Orhu · 2026-08-03T23:01:40Z

Short description

Adds 20 new avail first names, and 16 more avali and resomi pack names to the name generator.

Why we need to add this

~~So there will be less Runos.~~

Avali have only 20 random names. Resomi have 280, Thaven have 80, Rodentia have 100 per gender, Shadekin have 50...

Avali names aren't hard to come up with and more variety means less characters wind up having the same name. This is basically just making progress toward giving avali more unique names.

…tation-14 into orhu-MoreAvaliNames

## Short description Adds more new names to the random name generator for Avali (first and pack names), Borgis (and all variants), Corgis, Cyclorites, Devils (names and titles), Resomi (pack only), Shadekin, and Thaven. ## Why we need to add this This change brings all playable species (that are original to starlight) up to 100 random names. This is being done for the same reasons PR ss14Starlight#5506 was done. By bringing the number of random names up, we will wind up seeing less characters with similar or identical names, making every character feel more unique. Some of the new borgi names are references to various robot dogs from pop culture. I also removed the name "Jax" from from the shadekin list. No idea why it was in there. It really should not be for hopefully obvious reasons. Number of new names added in each category: - 60 new Avali first names (100 total) - 10 new pack names (40 total) - 19 new Borgi names (50 total) - 19 new Corgi names (50 total) - 5 new Syndiborgi names (20 total) - 5 new Cyclorite names (100 total) - 8 new Devil names (25 total) - 8 new Devil titles (25 total) - 52 new Shadekin names (100 total) - 24 new Thaven names (100 total) ## Checks - [x] I do not require assistance to complete the PR. - [x] Before posting/requesting review of a PR, I have verified that the changes work. - [x] I have added screenshots/videos of the changes, or this PR does not change in-game mechanics. - [x] I affirm that my changes are licensed under the [MIT License](https://github.com/ss14Starlight/space-station-14/blob/Starlight/LICENSE.TXT) and grant permission for use in this repository under its conditions. **Changelog** :cl: Orhu - add: Adds new random names for Avali (first and pack), Borgis (and all variants), Corgis, Cyclorites, Devils (name and title), Resomi (pack only), Shadekin, and Thaven. - remove: Removed the name "Jax" from the Shadekin random name pool.
