I just wrote they were all Empire Names.
That is what the names are.

What the names are: - The names are Empire Faction names?

No?

Maybe he means the names are:
1.) Gallente
2.) Caldari
3.) Amarr
4.) Minmatar

In any case, it is a riddle in which the answer is ambiguous. Even if one guessed the right answer, there is no way to know for certain they were right.

My character names, for the most part and all the new parts all are Empire Faction .

The only ones that are not are the older pilot names.

For instance:

1. Euno Onren
Onren is the Minmatar automatically assigned name at creation.
Euno is not a Minmatar name per say.
It is a borrowed name.

2. Euno Ambramotte
The same Euno and Ambramotte is a Gallente automatically assigned name at creation.

3. Gnati Ambramotte
The same Ambramotte as above.
And Gnati is not a Gallente name per say.
It is a borrowed name.

4. Doug Shahni
The Shahni name is an Amarr automatically assigned name at creation.
Doug is my dog's name, well, not really , but close.

5. Voya Aubaris
Aubaris is a Gallente automatically assigned name at creation.
Voya is a name we had in my color book printing class in a grade 8 secondary school (secondary 1).
It is a short for Voyager or Tripper.

6. Hos Orlenard
Now this guy, Hos is a Gallente name and so is Orlenard.

7. Koy Artwik
The same , both Minmatar. Koy is a Minmatar first name. Artwik the automatically assigned Minmatar name at start up.

8. Sol Hemah
The same , both Amarr.
First and last names or Family name.

9. Sel Kasenumi
Both Caldari, first and last.

10. Vis Aldent
Aldent is a Gallente family name automatically assigned, although Vis may or may not be a Gallente first name.
I believe it is another name generated from another name generator.
(I'll try to post the link to it later.)
Fantasy Name Generator

11. Jaed Gogiko
Both are Minmatar.

12. Esko Krividus
Both are Minmatar.

13. name withheld
Both are withheld to increase the covert ability.
Yes, well, it's not the best so far, but at least you can see where it is leading. And how...

14. Eranen Mayaki
Both are Caldari.

Now, where can I get the Empire Faction first name if I have no way to find out?
Well...
I used the EVE Online Agent finder.

linky here
Keep in mind it currently displays 100 agents names max.
I can't see how to scroll pages...
It's probably disabled due to load capacity (also known as overload).

I also checked for names in the EVE Wiki, Evelopedia, etc...

Unfortunately, I am too busy and too old for that.
I wouldn't have the time without it endangering my life and my family even worst than it already is.
So the benefit would be more negative.

I wouldn't have the time to read it.
In fact, I'm pretty sure there are some lawyers doing that kind of work because of the "how would" (or why) you suggest.
What about yours?
How would that make you Ignorant, make your Ignorance, or make you more or less ignorant for increasing your efficiency?
No offence taken, no forgiveness for no offence committed or taken required.

I'm guessing the phrasing you're looking for is not "endangering" but "negatively impacting" in the sense of taking your time and your attentions away from them. I completely understand that sentiment if that's what you meant.

This name... Made it up as a character in a story of mine ages ago.

I was curious, hence the question.

ah yes, that happens more often these days.
I am in a similar situation although it has a more religious connotation which is better not discussed here due to policies.

It is also not a coincidence if I am often more offended since it is directed against my name and family as well.

Mhh, Negatively impacting and permanently damaging me, and endangering in the military sense.
That is political however.
Please be careful when you try to change my words without my prior authorisation.
I understand it can be done and why, however, I shouldn't be held accountable.

Indeed not, those policies are there for good reason.

Good talk, should probably leave it here though,
Don't want to pull the thread too far off topic.

That is in line with my name, however, how many people would respect that nowadays.?.

I enjoy playing with acronyms, so when I saw "ISD" the first time, I thought, "InterStellar Dwarves".

So I picked a super dwarfy name since I was on a dwarf Fortress kick at the time and that's how I got the longest ISD name ever.

First, I didn't change your words, I shared my interpretation of them, seeking correction. Second, I'm sorry you're in such dire straights. Third, get off the internet and back on the watch!
