Pan-Slavic Namelist

I want to start by saying that this is my very first mod and that I really appreciate any feedback or help that I can get.

The goal of this mod is to create a template from which you can make your own Slavic-themed empire.

Currently includes:

- Character names divided by culture. It includes:
Russian names
Ukranian names
Polish names
Czech names
Slovak names
Slovene names
Serbocroatian names
Bulgarian names

All have full gender congruence where appropriate (example: Ivan Bogdanov, Ivana Bogdanova) as well as internal name congruence, meaning, for instance, that a Polish first name will always be followed by a Polish surname.

- Planet names
They're named after Slavic Gods (Perun, Vesna, Chernobog etc), geographical features (mountains, rivers etc), regions (Luzica, Pomorsko, Sumadija) and some other general Slavic words.

- Science ships
They're named after different Slavic scientists, like Tesla, Sklodowska, Kopernik, Mendelejev, Wichterle)

- Colonzier
Mainly named after Russian explorers, as they're the Slavic people that has done by far the most colonizing.

- Constructor
They're named after different large manufactorers, like CZUB, Tatra, Zastava, Fablok and KAMAZ.

- Transporter
They're named after Soviet space dogs, like Lajka, Belka and Strelka.

- Military ships
Ships between corvettes and cruisers are named after different Slavic cities (Smolensk, Uzice, Katowice), battleships are named after national capitals (Minsk, Bratislava, Zagreb), colossuses use Slavic translations of the same word (Olbrzym, Kolos, Ogrom, Velikan) and titans are simply named Slavija.

- Armies
Armies use different Slavic words that I thought were fitting translations of the default names.

Planned features:
The only thing that remains is maybe adding more names in the different categories and fixing bugs.

Known bugs:
When generating characters, both in-game and in the empire creator, names sometimes end up completely blank. This bug seems to be inherent to my solution to the problem that Stellaris doesn't normally support the use of gendered surnames, which is obviously needed to create authentic Slavic names. As such, this seems to be an unsolvable problem, for now.

It is luckily easy to work around, though, you can just use the game's rename function on any character that shows up blank. Just move the mouse cursor to where the name should be (it'll be a tiny box in this case, because there is no name, but if you just move it around slowly, you'll see that the text next to the cursor changes when you're hovering over the right place), click on it, and just type in any name you want in the text box that appears.

Another issue I have is that Stellaris doesn't allow characters like Š, Č, Ž, which a lot of Slavic languages use. But there's nothing I can do about it until Paradox starts supporting non-English letters.
