################################################################################
#  This script renames actors and enemies with a script call.

#   $game_actors[x].random_male_actor_name
# or
#   $game_actors[x].random_female_actor_name

#   Or you can replace $game_actors[x], with $game_party.members[x] to name the
# member in the party in the x position.  0 is the leader.

#   Replace x with actor's id from the database.  Replace string with whatever
# you wish to rename the actor.
#    Troop names will be changed automatically based on random enemy names
# you supply.
#
#   To change the original database name of the enemy, you'll need to set
# up the ENEMY_NAMES hash in the configuration section.

Used in unison with a code that changes item names, I can see how this could work well with a radiant quest style.
