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 so...

It depends on the Sim and what kind of challenge or gameplay I have in mind for them or if I imagine they are from a particular culture. For instance, Annie & Abby Callahan and Molly McNamara are Irish, Sasha Romanov is Russian, Carmen Alfonzo and Gina Lombardo are Italian, Lander & Damon Panopoulos are Greek, Noah Noonday is a Potawatomi Native American, Giovanni (Jon) Valente is Irish/Italian and Sonnet Colbert is French.
Sometimes I'll use the random generator and just go with what I think works for that Sim. It can be tedious doing it that way though since I'm rather picky about names. Random names I've used are; Leslie Neff, Kailani Queen, Leanne Summers, Andrew Hudson and Rita Benet. Rita was my very first created Sim from TS4 Demo.
I don't really like a lot of trendy, cutesy or 'unusual' names, but have used a few on occasion if it fits a particular Sim. For instance, Dreama Masheik and Romeo Pandorian are a bit unusual, but they're aliens so it works for me. And Chambree Je' Blu is actually a name I recycled from a TS2 Sim that I dearly loved. I did use 'Ben Bummer' for my Extreme Rags to Riches challenge, plus Autumn Woods, Terra Demeter, Sunshine Beam, Spring Weather and Ellie Pepper are kind of cutesy I guess.
But they work for these particular Sims. For instance Sunshine is a hippie and Terra is named after the Earth and the Goddess of Harvest and Agriculture. I used her in my 'Living Off the Grid' challenge. Also, Spring Weather is the founder of my Legacy Challenge. Obviously 'weather' is the theme for the family. :)
I tend to lean more towards 'strong' or masculine names for my male Sims, such as; Josh & Joel Hunter, Bryce Canyon, Cole Armstrong, Kent Rockwell, Ridge Everest, Sam Hawkins, Thomas Woodson and Grant Forest.
I like to alliterate names a lot too, such as; Vanessa Valentine, Claire Caldwell, Greta Gamble, Delilah Devine, Lilah Lockhart, Robin Russo, Samantha Searing, Sherry Schafer, Serena Santorini and Noah Noonday.
Lastly my child Sims names if I have more than one in a family all begin with the same letter. I don't know why, it just seems like a fun thing to do I guess. Happy Simming! <3
