Konahrik is the name of a dragon priest of whom I feel were dubbed special names in the dragon tongue as badges of the dragons' favor. I don't think they have a rightful place as names that can be generated for possible PCs in the Skyrim universe.
Also, most of the names are race-specific in the Elder Scrolls universe, because the Humans, Elves, Orcs, Khajiiti, Dragons, and Argonians all have naming conventions or forms specifically different from each other, which you can look up in the uesp wiki.
Among Humans, Bretons seem to take names that are similar to French, English, or Anglo-Saxon form and pronunciation. Imperial names tend to the Latin naming convention of the ancient Romans. Nords have very "northern" European names. Just think "vikings" and you'll nail it.
I think there ought to be a tickbox automatically ticked at program start for that sort of thing, to sort through the different race-specific names appropriate to the species selected, What would also be great is the option to select specific race names, allowing users who toggle which race-specific convention they want names generated from, allowing them to use a name that they want that's not part of the convention of the race they're choosing. Eg, maybe they wan to make a Dark Elf and for the sake of the name they can explain it away as "raised and named by Humans".
Honestly, I did think about race-specific name implementation but since I coded the bulk of it under pressure, I didn't have much time to do that sort of thing so I settled with a large set of adaptable names. Perhaps this'll be a future update.
Even though these are just random numbers in the end after I pressed that button I was always able come up with a story wrapped around the resulting character. This is magical. I love it!
Is there a way to make it so I can make it a setting preset and just have it set as <RACE> so that it generates only within that perimeter? I just want to generate a specific race.

Cool program.
But before running the program on my system, I moved files to VirusTotal analysis.
How can you respond to this analysis.
I do not want to discredit your work.
I just want to know.
It would be nice like you added some icon for the file.
