ManyNames

I’m having fun playing with this tool. The numbers station and cottage names I found the most useful. The starship names produced the fewest noteworthy results - maybe the RNG gods were not favoring me, though.

Is there a way to upload additional (ethnic) names relevant to my world, or to specify name origin if, for example, I am looking to name a character from Iran/Middle East or Mozambique/southern Africa?

I noticed lines of SQL for some sections, which helped break up which names were from which category. What would have helped me more is a blank line followed by a line noting the tab/option I selected, then the random name(s) starting on a new line, so I’d have context when revisiting the list later.

This sounds like a rad project! I'm getting a couple errors on the Windows version, though:

The program can't start because api-ms-win-core-path-l1-1-0.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem.

and:

Error loading Python DLL 'C:\Users\[login name]\Misc Apps\manynames-win64-0.2.0\python39.dll'.
LoadLibrary: The specified module could not be found.

Is there some straightforward way to fix, or a way to run it using Python directly instead of the .exe?

Do you have any special build instructions for linux? I made the program executable, but nothing pops up. I even rebooted my PC and still nothing. I’m using Artix linux and i my system is up to date including my Python version. I’m not a developer, just a casual gamer, but i can tell that a lot of work was put into the making of the tool (CMake, python and all that good stuff).
