nice name

Check out the name of this guy I scooped up. LOL! I wonder if it is his given name, or just what people started calling him based on his drinking habits.:wink:

That must be the opposite of Atkins, eh? I doubt one can lose much weight on it!

:lol: That's too funny!

I take it that the names are randomly generated, or is this an example of Aegidian's humour? :)

I think they are randomly generated, but I don't know for sure. We'll have to see if Aegidian or someone else in the know will tell us.

The names appear to be created with the same “random digraphs” code as planet names, except that for humans more complex names like “McDiet” are a possibility.
