It has been pretty common for me since sims2 to assign each household in my rotational save a letter, and every child born in that household's name starts with that letter. Sometimes I pick a theme for each household instead (like plant names, or tv shows, or celebrities, so some of your categories but only some of the time). I never have done the same theme for an entire save, just individual households.
Also I tend to do cheesy matching twin names. My personal favorite pair is Father Winter's twin daughters, Holly and Ivy.
Mostly, I love names and I write fiction and I have lots of names in my head. I generally don't have to go looking for inspiration. The theme per household thing helps me narrow it down so I'm not trying to pick out of every name I've ever heard.
