As there is no way for the game to tell if you put a first name in front of it, it would show up as a first name and then another full name. I would love to see them put in @@LASTNAME@@ and @@FIRSTNAME@@ macros.

I mean, I get that putting in @@RANDOMNAME@@ generates a name at "random" (or in reality, from a list of first and last names). But what if I type in a First name and then @@RANDOMNAME@@, like say I put "Bob @@RANDOMNAME@@. Would I get just a last name, or the usual combination of a first and last name (that just happens to look awkward because of the name I already put in front of it)?

If you need to use the same name more than once, then you need to come up with a name yourself. If you want to sound like an NS issue name, I think there's a list of first and last names floating around the stickies.

Edit: Wow, I totally spaced on what you were asking. The poster above is correct. Still, this is good advice!
