surnames

[Ghostwolf]

Simple request. Here's my reasons

RP Value, makes npcs seem slightly more realistic also possible quest potential.

Scripting Aid.
Npc merchants, you can give them a random name then the surname being their profession

example
NAMELIST=10
SURNAME=the banker

also can go by list as well

SURNAMELIST=80

Can't you already do this with the TITLE tag? Or do you want the surnames/profession-names to be visible over their heads?

Sure it can be done that way but with the surname it will be viewed overhead without every non human merchant npc having the same first name.
