Team creation: short names, a recycle button, and regional name bias

When I create a team of agents, Kosmos automatically populates names. I just stood up two teams, and this is what it chose:

Quality Assurance and Testing

- Chamari, QA Lead

- Adewale, Functional Test Specialist

- Delroy, Accessibility and Usability Tester

- Jasleen, Test Automation Engineer

Cybersecurity

- Caio, Security Lead

- Naoko, Security Configuration Analyst

- Anirban, Identity and Access Specialist

- Revathi, Incident Preparedness Specialist

- Kamau, Security Awareness Writer

Auto-naming is useful. Three changes would make it much easier to live with as the roster grows.

1. Short name toggle

A toggle at team creation that gives every agent a non-colliding short name, 3 or 4 characters, easy to pronounce and easy to type. These names get used in kosmos msg, in @-mentions, and on the board. They should stay unique on the machine.

2. Recycle button for one agent's name

Next to an individual generated name, a control that rolls only that name to a new candidate and leaves the rest of the team as they are.

3. Regional name bias

Optional, based on where the user is. If they are in India, prefer Indian names. If they are in Germany, prefer German names. Same idea for other regions. Today's mix is global; a local default would feel more like a team they actually hired.
