Remember, too, that Gand don't take names until they do something worth gaining a name. Otherwise they just go by "Gand."

I think they have them even if they don't generally use them. I'm sure the bounty hunter license of a Gand hunter isn't just made out to "Gand" nor would the BoSS papers for a starship just list "Gand" on them. The Gand may just refer to himself simply as "Gand", but that's not the same as not having a name.

Any Gand who has made it off planet has completed an achievement worthy of at least one name.

Does that include those that were born off planet? Is surviving birth a "worthy achievement" (some kids today seem to think so)? If not, I'd be wary of such generalizations.

Considering the environmental requirements for Gand, I don't really imagine a lot of them leaving planet unless they've proven themselves capable. These environmental requirements would also severely limit the number of Gand born away from the planet. So while there may be some Gand somewhere who was born off planet, that's a rare enough occurrence to me that some unique situational stuff is being applied.

The Gand born offworld are likely to be the lungless ones. They are born that way, it's hardly an accomplishment, nor would it be all that rare.

I disagree, based on my understanding of the Gand culture. And if there is some settlement of Gand living in a colony off the homeworld (which is the only way you're likely to end up with any sizable population), they're either going to follow the same culture or be very different. Regardless, they're either likely to follow the same rule where only those that have earned at least a single name are going to leave the settlement or their culture is radically different from the standard Gand culture, in which case you'd need to sort out why they're different and what the actual differences entail.

I use words from other languages, its a goldmine! For example, Go on google and look up "greek words for happy". Now you have a name for your character and a cool, educational story on how you got it.

Had a Wookiee named Kallabacca... I discovered that its the surname of a Russian immigrant IRL.

One of the dancers in Jabba's palace was named "Rystall" pronounced "Rees-tall". The actress was named Crystal, Star Wars that up a bit and you get Rystall.
