Help Me Name My Sim Legacy Silly Names

I'm still too busy with my current game to do this, but I've been planning to have one centered on a family of aliens, who name themselves and their children after the interesting objects they see around them, like, oh, "Couch," or "PotatoPeeler," etc. Look around your place, your car, your workplace, see what objects are perhaps a little odd looking, or have names that might seem peculiar. ("Ruler" might be an amusing name, too.)

As for your Money theme, maybe you want to focus on the actual coins and bills? Dime, Nickel, HalfDollar?l

Given our propensity to name girls after flowers, maybe name your sims after less appealing plants or critters. Mold, Slime, Mildew. SkunkCabbage. Heh--Ginko--you ever smell a row of Ginko trees in flower? (Only the female trees flower, btw.)

How about Catfish? Fishcat?

Grab a thesaurus and you'll get even better ones!

As for last names, depends on whether you're going with a theme or just being random. If, for example, I named a sim Catfish, I might choose, oh, Dogfiddle for a last name. Hi, I'm Catfish Dogfiddle. Beats being Catfish Dogpiddle!

Or maybe you'd like Moonpie Creamcake instead. Poggle Dolittle. Grendlefot Hilchuck. Sissleberry Jac. Once you get going, you're sure to come up with something ridiculous!

Hope this helps! :grin:

My brother was doing something similar with his legacy and he did a last name of McGooberson and then just named his sims random names, like his founder was Goofy McGooberson. But, if you were wanting to do a themed one, perhabes naming them all after gemstones? There are some interesting and different ones out there.

Probably the most goofy name I've ever given a sim was "Boogie Man" - a fine sim with an afro that danced at the disco every night. Such a knee slap.

If you want a generation of silly names, maybe name your sims after themed foods.
Apple Pasta, Pear Pasta, Plantain Pasta
Gummy Sorbet, Cookie Sorbet, Breadstick Sorbet
Anne Rice, Bean Rice, Lentil Rice etc.

Take inspiration from things in the game. Maybe you can name your sims after collectables, like the MySims trophies, the gems/metals/rocks, the frog species etc.

I've always got a kick out of the real family name of Hogg featuring the sisters named Ima and Ura. You could elaborate on this and name kids;

Shesa, Hesa, Thera, Wera, Hedge

Could go the food route too. For instance, last name Bean;

Navy, Kidney, Chili, Green, Lima, Butter, Pinto, Mister

I actually liked where you were going with the last name Money. You could keep going with that and add;

Mo, Cash, Dirty, Lotta (or Lotto), Old, New

Where I live there was a real man named Pliney Stump. You could run with that too. For instance;

Burnt, Hickory or, well, can't think of anymore Stumps. lol But you get the idea. Just run with puny names and you won't be 'stumped' anymore. :)

I could come up with themes like this forever, but I've said enough for now. Hope something in this thread helps!

Happy Simming! <3

You guys are all amazing and have given me great tools to get this family (and futures ones!) named! :) I'm gonna write all this down, and any others that get sparked for me.

Thank you for the names, too. So really, really great ones. I'm going with the last name Bean. :)

Thank you so much!

@ChelleJo good choice! lots of options for Bean

Thanks! :) And thank you for your help. You gave me some great names and ideas. I am writing them down for the future (and the Bean for now ;) )

Oh Cool, you're very welcome @ChelleJo and thank you for using my idea! Glad we were able to help. :) Have fun and hopefully you'll post a bit of your game play here or perhaps a link to a blog? I'd love to read it.

If not, that's cool too. Most of the time I just like to immerse myself in playing without worrying about getting screenshots for a story or anything. I still take a TON of screenshots though. Can't help myself. lol

Sumting Wong would be a great name for an asian child.
