    Your best bet is to do an internet search for each name.  I have learned a lot of things about innocent sounding names. Unfortunately some have been used as replacements for words of a less than savory meaning.  You might be able to change the spelling to make it work.

    It must have something to do with the multiple language settings of the Sims gallery.

    On the Dutch language page of AHQ we had a similar situation. The very common Dutch word 'lekker' seemed to be not allowed. At least when that word was skipped uploading was not a problem anymore.

    But it could also have to do with the sim names gamers use. I couldn't upload my sims with the first name Yuki and Candy. As soon as I changed these names the problem was over.
    In your case, Miss_Rin_Evans, it could be the fact that the name Bailey is already in the game. May be you should try uploading your sims individually and see if that gives a better result.
