"Most" can be used as an adjective, so this is expected behavior according to the game's (crappy) rules for name generation. It's a definite shortcoming, but not a bug per se -- it'll probably be addressed by this development item:

# I: Basic rewrite of names to support syntax trees and different, larger phrases (Core97)

# Core97, IMPROVED PHRASE STORAGE: The current system of storing names is not very extendable, so it needs to be altered to support later changes.
