I've to return the rearranged string and store it in an array

// Rearrange the whole string.
std::random_shuffle(s.begin(), s.end()); 

// If you want to rearrange some part of the string
// then give a different range to random_shuffle.
// For example: rearrange first 5 chars.
std::random_shuffle(s.begin(), s.begin() + 5);

for(register int i = 0; i<players.size()-1; i++) // !!! You increment i once, normal.
{
  srand(t);
  
  // !!! You increment i second time. Why? Think about that!
  nameSecondPart.push_back(swapChars(players[++i]));

}

// Call srand only once, no need for additional calls
srand(time(0));
const int total_players = players.size();
// Do not use register it's not a good idea, believe me! :)
for(int i = 0; i < total_players; ++i)
{
   // No need to increment i here
   nameSecondPart.push_back(swapChars(players[i]));

There's no real problem calling it more than once provided the seed is different every time.
