# beogh, bog = referring to Beogh
-# ork, orc, org, ok etc. = referring to orcs

+# Other syllables may be borrowed from real life, or made up.
+#
+# To determine a name for an orcish follower, the game first looks
+# looks for this follower's specific type, followed by the key word
+# "name", e.g. "orc warrior name" or "orc sorcerer name". If no name
+# has been found, the genus "orc" is tried instead. Should that also
+# fail, plain orcs as well as followers of professions that have not
+# been defined, won't ever be named.
+#
+# A name, once chosen, is final. In particular, Blork and Urug cannot
+# be renamed. Also, note that plain orcs can grow up to be warriors
+# and follow the fighter route, or else be blessed by Beogh to become
+# priests. Either way, if already named, they will keep their name.
+#
+# Feel free to add to this list. Like for the other database lists,
+# you may add weights (defaults to w:10) to make certain names more
+# or less likely.
