Generates a name
Parameters
- rule:
- if: not nil this is a generation rule to use instead of a random one

The rules field defines how names are generated. Any special character found inside (starting with a $, with an optional number and a character) will be replaced by a random word from one of the lists.
$P = syllablesPre
$s = syllablesStart
