Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Overlooking Cultural Sensitivity: Be mindful that names carry cultural significance. If using names for characters from specific backgrounds, consider researching names authentic to those cultures.
• Forgetting to Save: Don't forget to copy your favorite generated names before generating new ones, as previous results will be replaced.
• Limited Variation: If you need truly unique names, consider generating multiple batches and mixing elements from different results for more originality.
