Same issues for me. Custom game in commissioner mode, unfire-able GM/Coach. Did an initial draft before starting. Game crashed after the awards ceremony. On re-load, everyone had the last name "Smith" - mostly became "Jim Smith" but there's the odd "Linus Smith" and some others with a different first name.

Copied the names.dat file from re_one into the main save folder and reloaded - not fixed. Then copied the names.dat file from rs_two into the main save folder and reloaded - still not fixed.

Am working on the next option - creating the same type of game to create a clean names.dat file...will update here with the result.

UPDATE: Creating a new game with the same setup and using its names.dat file worked for now.
