1 month ago Resolved. Names were switched to using (mostly) English words and combining them with special rules. Websites used were primarily https://www.wordhippo.com as a thesaurus mostly for adjectives and verbs, https://relatedwords.io sparingly for some noun ideas, and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tree_genera wikipedia's list of trees, for ent names.

Describe the problem Names used in randomLists might be taken a bit too closely from fourth party sources, which should be avoided. The actual Persons name list is sourced from https://www.ssa.gov/oact/babynames/decades/century.html and screened properly, but the wolf, bear, bat, ent, and water names are cited from FantasyNameGenerators.com and some seem to have less desirable overt references and potential infringement.
Expected fixes Screen the names and manually replace/come up with more suitable ones for Trawel. This will take some time, and a lot of searching for each name.
Additional context Names were taken from the javascript pages for ease-of-development, because the site says the names are free to use.
