Middle names

How many of you would like to see middle names added to the sims as an option?
  • Not going to lie, I know I can fit some stuff into the first name box, but it just doesn't feel right. Especially in notices and whatever if your Sim is referred to by first and middle name only. I end up not giving them middle names because of it.

    A middle name slot may not be necessary, and it certainly should not be mandatory before exiting CAS, but it would be a nice feature to have that should not take too much effort. The little features add up.
  • Certainly yes, but also optional, because if you go without, I'd rather not be forced to give out a name or a blank just to save a sim as the other requisites (TBH, I also don't want to make the first and last name a requirement, except only the first, if we're talking about one-name characters we're trying to emulate.) But yeah, middle names would also help sort out some confusion.
  • The issue is there are cultures where people don't have middle names. So it would need to be optional. Though I do wonder if certain players may not understand what the middle name is so I'm not sure how it would be applied.
  • When would the middle names be used though? Nobody ever uses mine irl so I can't see a benefit.
  • I sometimes like to give my sims middle names (if I have enough space) after a family member or friend. I think it would be a nice touch for storytelling, but I agree it should be optional as not everyone has a middle name/s.
