Name Generator

Scrivener Scrivener for macOS

Hi,

I find the name generator pretty much useless because if it doesn’t recognise a first name (and it doesn’t seem to recognise many) it won’t generate a list.

Does anybody else find that to be a problem?

Hi.

Even if I set the forename with an obscure “Xcdfd”, the generator lists lots of names. Can you give an example of a name that doesn’t work?

Best.

I wonder if that’s related to the problem I described in this thread:

I currently can’t reproduce that problem.

With all of the name lists unchecked, I quit Scriv. I restarted it, opened the name dialog, and some of the name lists were checked. I unchecked them, tried to generate names, and got an error message.
