While we're at this topic why not open up some of these minor NPC names for "canonisation"?
For example if one wanted to retire from roleplaying a character that was a transport captain, it would be a nice touch if it could still exist in-game as an NPC.
Same could be applied to bar NPCs. Like, imagine going to a Freeport and there's Bessie Bishop BHG NPC telling me how she used to be an adventurer like me before she took a blaster shot to the left wing.
