Expand the name generator

I'm very thankful that Wild Wolves come with names. However, it seems that basically every single randomized name is a human name.

While there's nothing inherently wrong with that, it is very silly to recruit wolves and have the most basic people names ever, when Lorwolf is supposed to be in a fantasy setting. Adding more names from other sources, such as adjectives, locations (real or Loria-related, maybe a wolf really likes the name Zanthous for themselves), and nature, would allow for a nice mix of names. I'd at least rather get five Wild Wolves named Timothy, Tulip, Labradorra, Petal, and Cloudy than five Wild Wolves named Tommy, Jolene, Bob, Eleanor, and Sara. :P

Gotta at least add “MoonMoon” as a possibility.

Support, I tend to name wolves more fantastical things and it's just a personal preference to have foresty animals named “Bramble” and “Thicket” instead of “Robert”.

And if we are going to go with human names, a little cultural diversity would be nice.

I think it would be fun to have user-submitted names. You'd have to have a mod checking them so probably a really low priority right now, but maybe something cool to do in the future. You could also set it up so that if the name had already been submitted, it couldn't be submitted again to reduce spam.

I don't think that having a name that got accepted should have any rewards though because that would make people feel more upset if their names haven't been accepted, especially since some names would be rejected for subjective reason.
