0010551: Cover identity's surname doesn't match its origin
When creating a cover identity in adventure mode, the surname uses words from the character's native language. This isn't a big deal, but doesn't seem very realistic. Although there is some overlap (Amaume would mean Godhunger in elvish and Fencelavender in goblin), most of these names would realistically be fairly easy for a native speaker to ferret out.
Create a new cover identity in adventure mode. Choose an origin that speaks a different language than your actual origin. The words will match your actual origin instead of your cover identity's.

Well, I tried again and it seems that if I set origin to a goblin faction, cancel out of the identity creation, and reopen it, the surname parts will be in Goblin.
