Nametypes borked?
 

I'm having trouble with a commander I made recently. I wanted to give it a R'lyeh name, but the list of the nametypes in the modding manual seemed to miss them. I tried the Deep One list instead, thinking that the two might overlap. The first name my test-critter received was Apollo... Leukos, Partenios, Enops and many others followed, but there were no Yghs or 'ths to be seen. Would anyone happen to know what's the nametype for Aboleths and/or Atlanteans? Are the other nametypes working all right?

Oops! No wonder it didn't work - I used Gift of Reason, which seems to give all creatures names from some predefined list!

Can't you still set the nametype of units, and have it use them if they get GoR cast on them?

Seems not. I tested with a custom nametype, and happened to receive the hero on the same turn I Gift of Reasoned his Wished-for version. The Gifted one had a random name, the other was Beowulf...
