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...

I normally use the name generator. When I do, I click as many times until I see a name I like.
Within my game I try to have names that I feel match a Sims personality and looks as well, though that's of course based on personal associations with people I have met in real life.
Then I also try and have names match other names in their family. When sims have kids I often think "would this sim name their child this?". For example, I once had a tomboy-looking woman name their twin daughters Billie and Bobbie because those are gender-neutral and non-girly names. When I have twins or multiples in my game I match the names too.
With siblings I always match spelling of names, because I don't think parents would name their kids "Allyson and Katelin" but rather "Allison and Katelin" or "Allyson and Katelyn".
And I also name kids after their great-great-so-on-grandparents and other family members from earlier generations.
