One small problem I've had with UMMU (specifically Prelude II) is that sometimes when randomly reloading the crew in a
spacecraft, there would be two identical names. I've noticed that addons that use random-reloader use a list of set names, no
first or last names. They seem to use a list that comes with the addon.

Here's how it seems to work as of now:

[NAMES]
Bob Johnson
Constantine Kaufman
Ashley McIntosh
[/NAMES]


To solve this, I think that the UMMU DLL should have a list of first and last names, such as this:

[1NAME]
Bob
Constantine
Ashley
[/1NAME]


[2NAME]
Johnson
Kaufman
McIntosh
[/2NAME]


When a spacecraft randomly generates a crewmember, it could randomly select the first and last names.

You can change the UMMU's name at any time.

Ok, I found out who I was, that's a pretty bright idea, but how are we going to randomly name them, just by mixing
random letters or something?
