Uses SkyPatcher to add second names to most single-named unique NPCs, making them even more unique (or actually unique in the fist place).
They're not baked into saves, so disabling/removing the mod (or particular files, or commenting out specific character lines) will revert to vanilla names.


Following UESP's names lore and each NPCs descriptions.
(Restoring some unused/dropped names from official guide, game records etc., eg. Tolfdir the White, Eola Glooredhel)
Inspired by Fantasy Name Generator, as well as TV shows, etc.


Nord patronyms in western Skyrim consist of -son and -dottir, while in the east they're followed by -sen and -datter (-dotter on Solstheim).
(The exception is Grelka in Riften, sister of Solaf and Bolund from Falkreath.)
(There's vanilla Acolyte Jenssen in Whiterun, although it's unclear whether it's his first name or second name. Either way, it's safe to assume he originally hails from the east.)

In accordnance with Old Norse grammar rules.
Some Nords have been given titles or nicknames instead of patronyms.
Very few Nords were assigned a matronym, eg. Harrald Lailusen after his mother Laila Law-Giver, or Lami Tialfudottir.
Respecting actual family relations (where applicable), eg. Narri and Tekla are both Ulrensdottirs, as they are sisters.
(Yep, there's so many sons and dottirs it'll make you vomit)

Imperials expand upon vanilla naming, and taking inspiration from Romans, often ending with -us or -ia.

Redguards usually don't entertain second names.
Few were given suffixes of their homeland/parents/relatives, while some adapted surnames of their non-Redguard spouses.

All the other races follow their respective naming customs (and family relations, so some share the same surname).


Also assigns names to some non-named NPCs (Hot Springs Hunters, DB Initiates, EEC Workers).
Covers NPCs added by Enhanced Hot Pools (LE) and Hot Springs Camp.

Optional patch provided, preventing NPC Name Distributor from assigning random names to Hot Springs Hunters, DB Initiaties and EEC Workers.


// Hoping for SkyPatcher to eventually allow setting short names as well, enabling vanilla approach for single names in subtitles, quest logs etc.
