Well, I'm a bit of a name nerd so I have quite a collection of favourites. I love looking up names and their meanings/origins. When I create a sim, they are often based on a character I have created in depth and named already. It can take me a ridiculously long time to choose a name that feels 'right' though. I like to pick names that are in keeping with a character's age/birth date and their origins/background. I sometimes look for appropriate meanings or just a name I like and feel suits the sim/character. Sometimes they also go by a nickname, for example my sim Rhys Hutchison has always been called Bunny by his friends/family. When my sims/characters have children (or adopt pets) I like to think about what names they would choose e.g. naming them after a loved one or a name with a special meaning or just one that suits their background. So, for example, my vampire sim, who is named after my favourite fictional character, was born in England in the 15th century, so the sort of names he likes are old-fashioned to most. He is a Music Lover and big fan of the Gilbert and Sullivan operettas too, so I looked up the names of the characters for one that was also very old and would appeal to both of us. He also lost his best friend Leo not too long ago so he would want to honour him in some way. Therefore his daughter is named Mabel Leonie. I definitely overthink names, but it's so satisfying when I find the perfect one.
