I was just making a Chorf team and was struck by how human the names were. One of them was called John Whane, for example.
Bit jarring when you're expecting something like Brondrakk Ironhand!
I'm not sure if this is something that occurs across other teams; the Norse team has very unique names, the Orcs and Elves feel like appropriate names.
And at the end of the day it's a very minor thing, but I thought I'd mention it |

Oh yeah, there's definitely some great ones out there! I was commenting more on FUMBBL's name generator being able to create Hrærekr Þorfiðrson randomly for Norse but coming up with John Smith for Chaos Dwarves.
Where does FUMBBL draw the names from, actually? |

Throw lots of consonants and few vowels in a pot, then grab a handful and throw them on a pie. There it is! |

Or just name them yourself. Fumbbl name generator is just for not naming em randomly against the rules (like 1,2,3,4 etc)
If you want propper names to play with id suggest spending 5minutes extra ?
Also you can just rename em after few games nowdays when you know that you might play the team.
Luv.

Is that retroactive, or will old replays still show the old names? |

That I do not know, you have to ask someone smarter. |

just rename one and see! my guess is that is retroactive since links point to the player's ID |
