I've finally finished the complete Icelandic name override for Aurora Skies, NOW for Human Sims! This mod provides the real-life examples of names used in real-life Iceland, authentic script included. The mod is the default name override, so don't use it with other replacements. File is available in 15 languages (English, Czech, Danish, Dutch, Finnish, French, German, Hungarian, Italian, Norwegian, Polish, Portugal, Russian, Spanish, and Swedish). I would recommend installing it for Aurora Skies only. You may play in other worlds with it, I wouldn't mind, but I assume seeing someone like Björgúlfur Ragnheiðar over Isla Paradiso would be odd indeed

What are those odd second names for? Iceland uses the patronymic naming custom unlike the rest of the world. I have written presumably male names in their grammatical genitive case (examples: Sturlu, Eðvarðs, Hannesar). A very small portion consists of matronymics like Helgu, Ragnheiðar, Guðrúnar. They make a very small portion (1 to 2% of all last names) like in real-life Iceland. Some female names would be matched randomly with the entries for last names (which are male name possessive cases!). And it's gonna be funny seeing 'double' names, see Helga Helga, Edda Edda or so on

Use simultaneously with my Icelandic Name Replacement for Pets mod!

KNOWN ISSUES

Note that TS3 uses the default last name custom, so the mod last names going to turn into 'locked' dynasty inherited patronyms (akin to continental Scandinavia)! I use NRaas MC to edit every time a townie newborn's last name to the name of their parent in genitive case (Wiki: Icelandic Name)

Yes, it's laborious, but unfortunately there's nothing I could do as I need to edit an entire game's code for this.


Anyway, have fun with your Aurora Skies gameplay!
