📋 About This Mod
About this mod:
Lets you ask your generic crew member's name. Names are randomly picked from namelists, see below.
Female and Male Names:
150 female and 150 male names in 'FemaleNames.txt' and 'MaleNames.txt'. (Top 1000 most popular American names in 2022 according to Social Security Administration. www.ssa.gov).
By default, the namelists are in ..\steamapps\common\Starfield\Data\SFSE\Plugins.
You can add and remove names however you like but don't leave empty lines in the files. Double barrel names like "Mary Anne" and names with special charaters like "Günther", "Hjørdis" and "Béatrice" are supported as well (default lists don't contain them though).
Custom Console Commands:
Some console commands if you'd like to suppress the R) Your name? activate choice or allow naming/renaming a specific member.
CGF "TellMeYourName. RemoveRenamePerk" ---> removes the ability to ask members.
CGF "TellMeYourName. AddRenamePerk" ---> gives back the ability to ask members.
CGF "TellMeYourName. DebugAllowRename" RefID ---> allows to ask this already asked (named) member.
CGF "TellMeYourName. DebugDisallowRename" RefID ---> disallows to ask this member about their name.
If you prefer to give names to them yourself, you can try my other mod "Rename Anyone and Almost Anything".

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 610 endorsements and 37k downloads
- Adds a simple but immersive roleplay layer to crew interactions
- Editable namelists give you control over the flavor of names
⚠️ Cons
- Requires SFSE (Starfield Script Extender) which adds an extra setup step
- May not add much depth if you're looking for more than a name prompt
For Starfield players who enjoy roleplaying and want to add a personal touch to their crew interactions. If you're a modder or tinkerer, the editable namelists offer customization potential. Skip if you want gameplay overhauls—this is a small immersion tweak.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have SFSE installed and launch the game through SFSE's loader, not the default executable, for the mod to work.
- Check the mod's namelist files in the Data folder to edit names to your liking before starting a new game.
- If you're using a mod manager like Vortex, let it handle the file placement to avoid conflicts with other mods.
