(As requested, this is a re-post of my old game. Hope you have fun!) Every country has specific namebanks and specific events. Most people in medieval times had no middle name but… whatev, you do you! It is also up to you how severely your family will be affected by events. Once a child is grown you can roll (or choose) their profession and create an SO for them. :)
