How would I go about dynamically allocating memory for the names array  
in the part that I commented?
I'm not really sure about the dynamic array details in D, this is just  
an example to help.

Where is din.readf? If it is a c function then it won't be able to set up  
the dynamic array. You can set the length property to allocte the memory  
and pass the c function currentName.ptr. To append currentName to names do  
somehing like:

names ~= currentName;
