What's your sim name style?

When you play Sims, how do you guys usually name your sims? Are they normal names? Names based off of something? Names you make up that everyone kind of judges you for?
I'm curious, because I have some obscurely named sims (this gen, we have Tala, Dyric, Xazia and Cyphel, to name a few), and I'm sure I'm not the only one. My sims in this family haven't had normal names since the first gen.
So. How do you name your sims?

It depends on the Sim I am playing. Sometimes I let the name be randomly chosen. Other times I have to let the backstory I have for them chose their name. I had a Vampire who's backstory was she was an ancient vampire who was a high priestess of Ishtar when she was mortal. I had planned her out before creating her looking into ancient Babylonian family names and female names used at that time. Other times I just use whatever name first comes to mind. Other times its comic books, manga anime etc that inspires a name.
