Can you add any name?

Just a quick question. Can you add any last or first name to the names.dat files? For example if I put my last name followed by a 1 and saved it would there be a possibility that sometime in the future of my fictional league a player with my last name could appear. Can you just edit and add as many names as you want as long as you keep the format of the original .dat file (name 1)?

Yes.

Those new names that I will add, can they be anywhere in the .dat file? They don't have to be in alphabetical order or anything do they?

Nope.

You can also do the same with the Cities.dat file. If you live in a city named Podunk and you want there to be a chance for that City to randomly be generated by the startup of a league, then you can enter it into the Cities.dat file.
