Massachusetts Namelist

Mostly for fun and to learn the basics of modding I've created this namelist based on names from my home state of Massachusetts.

* Planet names come from the top 150 populated municipalities (cities and towns) according to Wikipedia.

* Ship names, Generic are just Massachusetts related terms and sayings

* Science ship names, names of founders of Massachusetts universities, and some university mottos

* Constructor ship names: names related to Massachusetts infrastructure (roads, tunnels, bridges, etc.)

* Fleet names are based on governors and other important political figures

* Character names, generic: derived from a list of 150 or so famous Massachusetts individuals (see below for complete list).

* Regnal names: derived from governors and first ladies of Massachusetts
