Thanks everyone for responding to my very first post ever. I was going to try to reply to everyone personally, but...this post is getting a lot of responses, so I gave up on that, but I'm giving everyone a like.

@kalaksed Thank you for the congrats and for all the great ideas.

@simpatsyan Your old fashioned names are awesome, and I totally love playing around with hippie names when I have the right sims for it.

@michelei “I randomly loose my mind and go crazy” Haha, that cracked me up. Mystery Wild is a great name!

@karababy52 Thank you for the welcome! I might use that name Kailani Rae—it’s so pretty. That’s so cool that you met her. Also, Adam Lambert has THE BEST voice—you have great taste in music.

@chellejo I like Anselle (you could make him a photographer named for Anselle Adams) and Anderson for boys, and Aubrey and Adalaide for girls.

Thanks! I wrote all those down. :)

I like themes or names that have a meaning tied to my sims personality.

In my drifter save that I'm playing, I just randomly named the founder Anna, then when she had twins, I named the girl Antonia and the son Nikolas. When Antonia got pregnant, I had decided to name all the kids in the drifter challenge "A" names. So Nikolas is the sole blood-child that doesn't bare an "A" name.

In House 008, we had 3 adopted children, and I thought to change their names to an A name, but I always have a hard time renaming adopted sims. It feels very unnatural to me.

My drifters have given birth to 13 sims and 12 are A named.

I'm running low on A names, LOL, so anyone want to toss some my way, I'm game for that. I might have to take to google, if things get real desperate.

Now, I wish I had given the last name more thought. I didn't think hard enough about carrying the Schmitt last name 23 generations.

One of my Sims had twin boys I named Ashton and Albert. (Albert is my brother's name.) One of my female Sims is named Allyson. There are some good baby name lists available if you get stuck (I used to have an app on my iPhone because I'm a wannabe writer who looks for unique names for characters but it's no longer supported with the new operating system).

My gen 3 heir was Ashton. :) I've wrote the others down. I'll look for baby name lists, I just like getting names from other people cause a lot of times, people have names you haven't heard or unique spelling to a classic name. :)
