You go, with your code self!
Didn't get a chance to add anything today, yet, but am hoping to get a few minutes before bed to tinker.

Okay... got all the cid surnames I listed, earlier, added to the generator. Think we could still use a few more seeds but we're getting there, anyway.

Awesome, man. Thanks for the effort!
Hope to get the script fixed tonight.

New stuff
Added around 49 Clan Names (surnames) for the Kazari.
Haven't tested in the generator, yet, but will do so in a bit.
Edit: Tested... Some very cool results!

Fantabulous!
Hopefully, I'll get this bug fixed soon.

I guess I should note that, for the Kazari, I added all surnames under the "realistic" category.
Since the cat-folk don't really have "surnames," per se, using the generator to randomize a given name and a surname will come back with results like Tc'dau Stalking Star, M'ctu Lost Ancestor, etc. These should be translated as Tc'dau of the Stalking Star Clan and M'ctu of the Lost Ancestor clan where "introductions" and such are concerned.

I got some really neat results, too.
I'll see if I can do some additions later on to space these into clan names.

Found and fixed the bug on Cidal fantasy surnames! Need to update the add mechanism, because the seeding has an issue, but I'll get that tonight.

Finally got a chance...
...to try out the Cidal generator. "Realistic" surnames work well but, if you select "Fantasy" you get a debug screen. Is that related to the seeding issue?

The debug is indeed related to that. I had removed the debug code, but got to thinking that rather than change the input/seed part, I needed to fix the geeneration code to actually work 100% correct. The debug stuff is there to help me trace it. Sorry, should have that resolved soon!
Haha... this is apparently just you and me.

And I don't know why, I can't keep my eyes off of youuuuuuuuu.....
Yeah, just trying to fix it up, so to speak.
As I look at it, I wonder if I shouldn't add subtypes for Cid fantasy last names, like we have for Khords.
Consider that for Khords, you have:
substance - body part (or item).... Onyxheart, Quartzfoot monster - verb... Giantkiller, Dragonbane item - creating occupation... Bronzecaster, Metalforger substance - digging/destruction word... Stonedig, Shalecrusher
Subtypes only generate names within the subtype. That way, you don't get silly names like "Bronzebane" or "Giantforger" or "Goblinheart". Granted, sometimes you might come up with a cool name that breaks the conventions, but you'll get a lot of junk that way, too.
Just looking at the cid seed names, I wonder if we have a couple of categories there. Maybe not.

Hmmmm...
...I see where that makes sense but, off the top of my head, I can't come up with subtypes.
I'll do some scouring of the seeds and see if I can't get inspired, though, and get back to you if I get any ideas.

Okay, so...
...I'm seeing a couple of options, here.
I think we can use an "adjective - body part (or item)" schema, for one:
- Swiftfoot
- Bracegirdle
- Fallohide
For another, and I'm not sure how to phrase it, but something along the lines of "Adjective/adverb - geographical feature" (?):
- Underhill
- Greenglade
- Overlake
And, another, perhaps, could be "Feature - verb" for results like:
- Puddlejumper
- Weedhopper
- Hopesinger
Thoughts?
