OpenTTD automatically generates names such as:
"K. K. Jones" and "Wenway Transport"
It would be great if they could be generated depending on the selection of "Town Names".

Reported version: trunk
Operating system: All

Also, if it's possible, can you provide source of optional names (one for each language) so the names will be created from that file?

Seems fair, my assumption here is this would need an extension to newgrf spec.

Generating a company name from a town name can possibly give grammatical issues in some languages, I think certain town names can have varying grammatical genders, and then there's outliers like den Haag.

Additionally, should this be entirely a NewGRF feature, or should it have some default tables for the built-in town name tables? I think the latter would be more appropriate.

Although this would be nice to have, it isn't something we expect to fulfill in the next year, and on that basis I'm closing it. We do this to keep the project manageable, productive and fun. We hope you do understand. Thanks for contributing though! Here you can find more about how we handle feature requests.
