remove name from world name pool after death.

[OldVamp]

I don't know how may times I have killed that hayhouse guy, but he keeps coming back for more..

but yeah. once a name has been seen and killed don't reuse it.
unless maybe its 'son of hayhouse' 

[Johnny Masters]

Or one of his 15 brothers. It might actually start explaining why the raiders are so insistent on taking you on every month or so, it's a blood feud!

We just need more names on the list. Then they will not repeat so often.

Also i do not know how many times i have killed Val.

Until you have a graveyard dedicated specifically to Jon, next to 8 plots of Tynans, you have no right to complain.

[Coenmcj]

Might explain why Rimworld is so good. It's because we have 8 Tynan's working on it simultaneously!

[Evelyn]

Well, yes. Until I killed them. The long delay between Alpha 7 and Alpha 8 was because of me.

[ZestyLemons]

I'd like to see this happen. I don't think it's too hard to keep a list of all assigned names in the world and only assign ones that haven't been assigned before (in the case that all names are taken, it's probably okay to wipe the list and begin again).

The fact that everyone commonly sees the names come around time and again means that if a name was scrubbed out whenever the owner died, it would only be 10 or so raids before the game just ran out of names entirely.

Also, there are multiple people with the same names in real life, why is it strange to see it happen in Rimworld?

You know, that everytime you kill Tynan in game, one feature of Alpha 9 disappears from Rimworld changelog? So stop.

It's strange to see so many Tynans (we all know that he's one of a kind) or Korish (which isn't a name exactly - it's cyrillic "buddy" inscribed in translit with a mistake (or I could be terribly wrong if this a real name)). And that leads us to implemention of names-selection-priority system with 'common', 'rare' and 'unique' lists.

One of my friends has the last name of "Koresh"
His family is Bohemian/Czech.

I think if you're "simulating" an entire galaxy of humans that are practically aliens to themselves the idea of sharing names so often becomes a little odd.

Lol, a scary thought indeed, will have to be on the lookout for now on.

[Coenmcj]

As Tynan, Bad magicican, rounds the last wall into the killbox of crashville, he sees the turrets powering off, the colonists throwing down their weapons and raising their hands in surrender.

'eh?' he asks in a state of confusion, lowering his weapon.

His raider buddies raise their own and fire into the masses, mowing down the inhabitants of crashville in seconds...

[Eleazar]

Don't some of the characters have unique names and backstories?  Like whenever you meet Foo "Abritrary", his backstory, job and nick-name will be the same, and used nowhere else?  Those characters would make sense only appearing once.

[Splinterbee]

I have killed salt all to many times... It's like shadow of mordor where you don't cut off there heads and the come back
