For fun I wanted to rename a player who is American. I hit the 'regenerate name' button. Over and over. More than 100 times. The last names were either of British or Latino origen. No German surnames..even though they make up the largest ethnic group in this country. Didn't see any Italian names. No Irish names. No Slavic names. No Jewish or Middle Eastern names. No Eastern Asian names.

This needs to be fixed in the next patch because arbitrarily leaving out names that are a part of the American tapestry borders on the offensive.

I will randemly cycle through 10 names

Luis Zaragosa

Rob Hawkins

Jerome Lambert

Dave Wolf

Chris McCoy

Mike Humes

Bob Christenson

Arnold Wilcox

Felipe Soto

Bob Little

These names dont come close to being a fair cross-section of America.

I have come across a couple Irish names in subsequent regenerations but none of the other ethnicities.
