About coruscanti names
Spare urban syllables like "Re", "Chu", and "Kau" fit citizens of a world-spanning capital in the Star Wars tradition, where names get shortened by sheer crowding. The same result can name a senator's aide in the upper towers or a fence down in the undercity, and only the surname changes the social floor. Pair one with a long bureaucratic family name to fix the character's level.

A syllable model with 22 onsets and 48 nuclei builds each name as one word, with the large vowel pool driving most of the variety. Results range from short "Fala" and "Casi" to the longer "Tradale" and "Trali". No second name is attached.
