I use a different naming theme for each save and I generally use Behind the Name although I have been known to search for rocks, stars, animals, plants, etc. for inspiration.
I've used gem stones as a naming theme for my last save
Ruby, Sapphire, Amethyst and Topaz for my girls if I remember correctly
I've never thought of doing that before; all of those names are quite unique and adorable. I may or may not steal that idea next time I'm naming my sims... :3
I do the same as @TinySpaceFox and only name my characters after I've made them just because looking at them usually spawns a name without much effort on my part; last names are slightly harder and I tend to use 'random name generator'. I'm also weirdly obsessive and don't like overlapping names so I keep track of all of the sims I name in a little book and make sure I don't have any duplicates.
If I'm writing a story I occasionally have certain words that hold meaning I want to associate with certain characters so I look up names with those meanings in multiple languages and pick whichever has the nicest ring to them :blush:
