About female werewolf names
How female werewolf names are built
Werewolf names are Markov-synthesised from separate male (845 entries) and female (434 entries) banks, inventing strings from learned letter odds. "Garten", "Delir" and "Thunter" land on harsh, Germanic-leaning forms that suit a feral shapeshifter.

Naming notes
The banks skew toward hard-consonant, vaguely Eastern-European or Germanic names (Garten, Thunter), giving werewolves a grim, old-world feel rather than a soft one. The male bank is nearly twice the female, so masculine output varies more. The character-level model produces short-to-medium forms; reroll if a result reads too gentle for a creature that hunts under the moon.
Questions about female werewolf names

- Yes, from separate banks of 845 and 434 names. The larger male pool gives masculine results more variety.
