How do you pick names for your Sims?
How do you generally pick names for your Sims? (I know there are similar discussions, but let's make it a poll) Personally, I try to find nice souding name with a meaning related to that Sim's per...
Forum Discussion
This discussion/poll is a nice idea! :)
Since Sims 2 I developed some 'naming traditions'. Most of the time I use alliterations, meaning the first name and the surname start with the same letter.
However, some families have other 'traditions', often these 'traditions' are somehow given by the game.
Nina's and Dina's female descendants all have "ina" in their name, like Carolina or Carmina.
Sometimes, the names are given by their meaning. For instance, Summer Holiday's kids are called Vinter and Autumn, her granddaughter November.
Luna Villareal's granddaughter is called Selena. Both names mean 'moon'.
The members of the Goth family have most often names inspired by the Greek/Roman mythology, like Hekabe (mother of Cassandra and Paris a.k.a. Alexander), Castor, Pollux, Clytaimnestra, etc. Additionally, the name of siblings often start with the same letter. Sometimes two traditions combine, like in Crysanthina (from Chryseis, a woman in Greek mythology, and 'ina' from Dina).
I spent a lot of time thinking about the names - and I'm loving it. :)
