Last Names???

How about Bacon? Grey? Johnston? Burke? I’ve had all of these last names in my save!

Kan. Trash Kan.
Cash. Gimme Cash, Holden Cash, Needen Cash.
Parts. Sandy Parts.
Fruitti. Mango and Hella Fruitti.
Lolly-Goth. Humbug Lolly-Goth.

I like a bit of silliness in my game.

I usually randomize until a name sounds good with the first name I picked.

Little tip, though. Pick wisely. Especially if you plan to play with that last name long term. I'm on Generation 9 of Schmitt's and wishing I had picked a better last name than that. :D :D :D

ah good advice, I'm looking up last name meanings so I can pick something for the legacy

A lot of times I will have some kind of background story for my sim, which includes their ethnicity. In some of those cases I like to search online for fitting last names, not only taking into account where the name originates from but also its meaning. One of my recent searches led me to a last name of Swahili origins, for example, because it went well with the background story and means "fearless".

I also have a save in which there are families named Riverdale, Ravenwood, Clifton... I think I need to add a Sunnydale, and Shadyvale families to that save.

Whenever I choose a surname for my sim families I always think of what the first generation parents are like. For example, I thought the parents of my first generation on my first gameplay of the sims 4 should be brave and honest so I named them Leonheart.

Then, with my new legacy, I wanted really snobbish, stuck up parents so I named them Blackbriar because I thought it sounded like it.

I like... unusual surnames, not the ones you typically hear every day.

Evergreen, Evenstar, Rosequartz, Alabaster, Lunarys, Dragomir.

I confess I've picked random names from the phone book or the newspaper.

Ah yes, the legacy last name. This is truly one of the hardest things for some simmers. I take my time with those because it’ll suck for a long time. The names I chose before though, and never completed were:
Vale, Castillo, Kyles, and Hawkins

Aguilera, Xerox, and dames sound nice
