Weird names for babies?
I’m currently in Sunlit Tides. I happened to see that the Grantham family had five kids, four girls and one boy, the boy being the middle child. Their youngest daughters are called Janell and Janel. W...

After returning to this thread and reading some later responses, it seems I misunderstood the OP. :grimace: I thought it was siblings in the same household being given essentially the same name that was the weird part, so my response was based on that. I didn’t consider the names Janell and Janel themselves as being odd; I simply viewed them as creative/alternative spellings of Janelle.
I guess I don’t recall seeing any truly weird game-generated names then, or at least not names I’d necessarily consider weird. But weirdness is in the eye of the beholder; subjective and partially based on exposure. I use Nordic and Welsh names sometimes, and imagine they look rather odd to most!
There are names that may be considered odd in my saves, but that’s because I’ve intentionally chosen them, lol, so they don’t count. I prefer distinctive names for many of my own Sims—the occult types especially—including words not normally used as names and names I’ve created. When I get few or no results in a web search, I figure I have something relatively unique. :)
I like the name Reginald for Titania and Oberon’s son! He is the heir and would rule after his parent’s deaths after all, as even Fairies don’t live forever (well, unless aging is turned off). Of course, if little Reggie’s given name had been Regicide instead... :scream: :tongue:
Also, now I kind of want a Wigbald and an Uhlbert! xD I do have an Isolde, but can't remember if I intentionally chose that name or if it had been generated.
The first thing that popped into my mind when I read the OP was Larry, Darryl and Darryl! :lol: I only saw Newhart in passing though, and remember little of it.

I normally take names as they come, although some of them are really odd.
So far I had names like "Rudio", "Wigbald", "Onko" and "Isolde". My favourite has to be "Uhlbert".
Also, the game named one of Teodor Medina´s (from Isla Paradiso) daughters ""Marina", which I found funny. Marina Medina. Also, the son of Oberon and Titania Summerdream (from Moonlight Falls) got named "Reginald", which means "king" or "ruler"", which doesn´t really bode well for his parents.

Well at least it’s better than Newhart (those of you who are older will remember that joke)
