Don't worry, since I have made name generators before, this work-around was very quick to finish. I just copy-paste and delete a lot. Although, I will tell you that I do not know anything about LUA (option a). So maybe there is a better solution there.
For option b:
In short: name generator -> race -> units
So you need a custom race to call your custom name generator.
Longer:
First of all, I think it is not possible to create a short name using the original DWARVISH_NAMES. The generator always returns "main" and main returns "long_name". "short_name" is perhaps legacy code.
Anyway, I have put the SHORT_DWARVISH_NAMES inside the file /utils/names.cfg
Then I put this race definition inside of /utils/units.cfg
I believe this is the minimum race info to avoid error messages.Then, in /units/namedummy.cfg, this unit:Then in the macro from before, replaced "Dwarvish Ulfserker" with "Name Dummy".
Here is the result:
This is not quite what you wanted, anyway, but hopefully it gives you enough information to create your solution![:)]( "Smile")

Code:

[unit_type] id=Name Dummy name= _ "Name Dummy" race=shortnameddwarves image="units/name-dummy.png" hitpoints=1 level=1 description= _ "Placeholder description. This is a dummy unit. If it appears, it is an error."[/unit_type]Here is the result:
