It works but It would probably be best if we made some random names ourselves.

I get that it works if the table's not empty? Should I start searching for Warhammer generated names.

I found this website that generates names for empire, elfs and dwarfs http://www.malleus.dk/Whfrp/NameGenerator.aspx

Could take some from them and add it to the database?

I was thinking about actually looking for the original one but we'll have to settle with a 3rd party as well.

I'm not sure where to look for the original WAR name generator. It would be great but it might be long gone?

Yeah. I noticed that it had it earlier today. I don't demand seeing a table with names in either. Also the first name sent to the client isn't actually shown. Which is kinda weird.

Not even it just not working but when you click it the button is out of function and after that any names you try to include in your character are "already used", if you reset the game it works just fine.

If someone wants to create a formula for random names that would be great.

I think I've made a fairly decent name generating procedure. (https://gist.github.com/akanieski/46b0c5692014dde862d6)

Also tweaked the Random Name Generator Handler to make sure it doesn't give you names that already exist.

See my commit (https://github.com/akanieski/WarEmu/commit/3fb911b5a2d329016571f99cd6dc25078ec8b756)
