Hello sir, thank you for making this mod. I see from the screenshots and some gameplay myself that this affects mostly first names. Meaning that first names have more added and not so much an emphasis on last names like Folkbjorn the brewer. I guess my question is does this mod affect last names or nicknames as well as first names, and I'm just not seeing it.
This mod adds given names and clan names. The detailed number of names is shown on the table on the description page. Now, you say last names like Folkbjorn the brewer. Does this mean the names (or nicknames) for the notables and wanderers? The answer is no if so.
I don't know any credible sources that have a lot of historical nicknames. I can try to add the nicknames if you tell me such sources.
At first, to clarify the concept: There is no exact historical "accuracy" in Calradia. Please check out the vanilla Sturgian names carefully.
Anyway, I'm trying to add Slavic names. But I confronted a problem. Now few sources are found and these are distributed in multiple languages: Czech, Polish, and Old East Slavic. Mixing multiple languages looks also not "accurate."
The statement was "ancient Rus". I'm sure there must be a source which lists some of them like Yaropolk, Svyatoslav, Bogdan etc. But either should be fine if you search for "ancient slavic names" as they mostly originated from one place during the migration period and just became more or less popular in certain geographic areas over time. One thing to keep in mind though, is that Sturgia now becomes something like 60% slavic names, 30% greek names and only around 10% scandinavian, considering we are at the early stages of Kievan Rus's golden era and well past the varangian heyday.
Edit 1 Spoke too quickly, did make the game crash on start but precisely when I clicked to start a new campaign. Gave me this error notification window :

However, the new names don't appear/disappear immediately if you install/uninstall this in ongoing saved data, due to the same reason.

My test was done with my usual mods installed, so maybe there's a conflict with one of them. Here's the list :
