Hey DivineJoker:

I whipped this up a little while ago. This will use script calls to rename actors random names. However, the enemy part doesn't work just yet. Give me a while and I'll see if I can't fix it. Or maybe someone will take it and fix it before then. At any rate. Here it is:

randomnamer

Code:

#  This script renames actors and enemies with a script call.

#      $game_actors[x].random_male_actor_name
#                    or
#      $game_actors[x].random_female_actor_name

#   Or you can replace $game_actors[x], with $game_party.members[x] to name the
# member in the party in the x position.  0 is the leader.

#   Replace x with actor's id from the database.  Replace string with whatever
# you wish to rename the actor.
#       Troop names will be changed automatically based on random enemy names
# you supply.
#
#      To change the original database name of the enemy, you'll need to set
# up the RANDOM_ENEMY_NAME hash in the configuration section.

I never could get the enemy name thing to work. But the actor part works well.
