Random Names for Characters in Game

Hey I was wondering is it possible to create a list of possible NPC Names in a text file and then Randomly assign them to characters when you first talk to them?

You could place a bunch of names into a text file. When you run the game, load them up into a list box. NPCs could have two variables: "name" and "pickname". Pickname should be set to 1 and name should be a string. When you talk to an NPC, if the NPC's "pickname" variable is equal to 1, pick a random line from the listbox, assign the text in said line to the "name" variable, and set "pickname" to 0 so it's name is permenant. Hope that made sense.

You could even make that one variable. Use 'name', and set its initial value to "pick name". Then, if 'name' is "pick name", pick a name, and set 'name' to it.
