Married Generals Random Children Names?

[madpluck]

i really have NO idea where would be best to post this. i'm comfortable enough modding whatever files in this game, and i wanted to know if it's hardcoded or someone knows how to fix it.
i rarely use my princesses to snag a foreign general, but i just used my princess to seduce a general besieging my castle and i thought that was pretty bad@$$. well she's a fertile 13yr old, let me tell you, and now they have kids, who of course don't have the Polish royal name, which pisses me off. is there a way to stop those kids from having randomly assigned last names so there isn't even any logic to their line? what files even controls that?

The princess will assume the last name of her husband. Any children that they have, should have their father's last name. This hard coded, no way to change it I'm afraid.

the file is descr_names, by editing this you can change the situation. the problem is that that particular polish surname is not listed under the turk surnames entry. and, if you put it in, you'll see random turks with that surname too.
We can say it is a bug of the game.
you can try to bypass it with a trait-epithet system, linking the trait to a character's lineage and making it his in-game-surname, BUT if he dies, then the bug remain the same.

It's hardcoded like bear said because character names are chosen from faction's list of names in the descr_names.txt like kilic said above.

OK thanks guys. That's what I figured, how disappointing.
