You'll have to pick one of the name lists provided by the game. There is no way I know of to create custom name lists.

There is. It is, for example, in the Stellaris wiki.

Wow. That actually sounds pretty cool, and I'd like to try adding in some of my own for some of my empires as well as any other custom details I can think of. But I'm having trouble even finding the files and folders to modify. I'm using a Mac, in case that matters (it often does).

Search for "prescripted_countries" and that should take you to the right general folder?

edit: also sorry if I came across as an rear end in the original post

That gets me zero results. Would it be in some other location than my Documents/Paradox Interactive/Stellaris folder or possibly a hidden one?

Don't know! Macs are weird!

Hidden's probably not a bad guess if an all-computer search isn't doing the trick though.
