what did you want to happen? Arminius really has no attributes except
for the name. No nation, no gender, no citystyle. That doesn't happen till
after nation selection for AI players. If you want the races dialog to take 
the name into account, then I suppose we can do that, but it's not at all 
high on my list. A good project for someone (maybe you? :)

I'll take a look at this, but for now, 'take chris A' or the first unique
prefix will work.
