Irish Names

[bambi]

I don’t if I’m completely missing it, but there doesn’t seem to be an Irish name generator for the Mac version of Scrivener.

Is there any way I can download it and add it on? It was the only one I used when I was on Windows.

Thanks.

Don’t know about the missing names or how to download them, but if you can get a list of suitable names…

You can add your own custom name lists to the generator. Name lists should be formatted so that all names are on a single line, and each name is separated by a comma, like so:

 name1,name2,name3,name4,name5

It might be easiest to produce these lists in a spreadsheet on a single row, and export as a CSV file. If you use a regular text editor, make sure to name the file with a “.csv” extension, and then click the + button in the Name Generator option panel. Locate the file in the chooser dialogue and click Open. You will be presented with some options on how the list should be marked. Give it a descriptive name, and mark whether it is a list of female names, male names, or surnames. Finally, if you have ordered list from most common to most obscure (at the end of the list), check this box to enable the Obscurity Level slider. Note that in small lists, the obscurity slider may not have much impact, depending upon how many names are being generated.

If you wish to delete one of your custom lists, select it in the list and click the - button.
