Define separate lists for male and female. No gameplay effect. Use names that match your world's phonetic register. Keep at least 10 per gender to avoid repetition. If you want surnames, include them within the male / female entries (e.g. "Arden Voss"); there is no separate surname list.

Fields

male

male — the pool of names the engine draws from for male characters. An array of strings; include a surname within an entry (e.g. "Arden Voss") if you want one.

female

female — the pool of names the engine draws from for female characters. An array of strings; include a surname within an entry if you want one.
