I like playing Romance Sims, both male and female. (It helps to make up for the total lack of romance in my own life.)

One of these days I must have a really wild female Romance Sim -- the kind that has woohoo five times a night and three more times during the day -- preferably all with different partners . . . and I'll name her "Chastity".

(Can anyone think of a nice surname for her?)

Chastity Belt?

I've got AL and that's pretty much what Chastity Gere aspires to do. If I was making a new sim, I'd go with Pru, as a play on prude.

I've got Jankowsky and Hobbs families in Dodge so far though more will arrive in time as the town grows though they'll be travelling by wagon train or getting a ride in somebody's wagon.

All of my Sim families have themes - a little trick I picked up after playing with the Widespot characters when I was a kid.

The family I'm enjoying the most now with naming is my Parker family- named after my favorite parks and trails. Shenandoah is married to Kaibab and they have a son Forrest. Shenandoah is after Shenandoah National Park and Kaibab is after the Kaibab Trail on the North Rim of the Grand Canyon. They only have one son and it seems like they won't be having anymore children, so I look forward to naming their grandkids.

Last night in CAS I just made adults Charles Wolff, Winnifred Germain, and Eleanor Dane. They're inspired by my dogs Chip, Winnie, and Ellie. They're going to be roommates and I'm going to see how things go. If they have children, they will be named after dog breeds. Akita for a girl, Jack and Russell for twin boys, etc.

The only "recurring" theme I have is that sims born from alien abductions always have "celestial" names. That explains how I sometimes end up with girls called Cassiopeia, Charon or Pleiades, boys sporting monikers such as Orion, Ganymede or Octans, and on more than one occasion I've had male twins named Phobos and Deimos.

However, in my current Pleasantview, I decided that Delilah Sharpe (O'Feefe) would give her kids names that meant various colours. Her firstborn and only daughter is called Xanthe (Yellow), then she had Bruno (Brown) and lastly Midori (Green). I did have to go hunting for that last one though, and found it on a baby name website.
The other recurrences I've gone for are with the Gavigans and the Critturs. The Gavigans always try for a second child, and if it's a girl, she's always called Meredith. It seems to suit that family. With the Critturs, the 3 puppies usually consist of 2 male and 1 female, so they get named after my colleague's dogs (past and present): Chester, Wilbur and Flo. Cats often have names based on RL ones I've known.

I've had a couple of families that had botanical and nature names such as Fern, Holly, Cedar, Ocean, River, Dew, Oak, etc, with the surname of Greenwood and.... I've forgotten the other at the moment.

I have a tendency to name a cat "Chewy" after the website store.

I quite like experimenting with foreign names, for example I have a Vietnamese guy in the works whose name is Tony Tha'ng Quan. Both his English and Vietnamese names have meanings along the lines of "victory".
I'm also working up a bank of names I'd like to use, but argh I actually have to make Sims to go with them.

Candi Barr has just arrived in the Veronaville suburb of Monopolis. She's a Pleasure Teen. Playful and outgoing, her birth sign in Taurus.

Here she is (dressed in black) with her adult friend Melinda Bryant:


Once again I've let myself be distracted from other matters by beautiful Sims who have generated in CAS, but I just had to have a Candi Barr in my game!!

It's too hot to sim (I hope to resume soon) and in any case I have enough open neighborhoods not to go making new sims, but it occurred to me the other night that next time I made some, I should give them the surname Hummingbird. There'd be an Anna, and a Rufous, and they would both have 10 active points. Probably 0 Nice, too, because those birds are feisty!

My Sharpe family had a baby boy and I unthinkingly gave him the name Pierce.

Pierce Sharpe.

That poor child is in for a world of teasing.

I love the names of the human versions of the Organization 13 members from Kingdom Hearts and they're always in my pool of first name choices, particularly for the Curious and Beaker families:
-Braig
-Dilan
-Even
-Aeleus
-Ienzo
-Isa
-Lea
-Lauriam
-Elrena

Playing an apocalypse challenge in Desiderata Valley kind of kicked me into a general rabbithole of wanting to learn more about names and naming traditions. For my 'main' (if I can even still call them that at this point) sims in Strangetown I mostly name them words and stuff that might be but usually aren't 'real', established names, and in Veronaville I go with names from Shakespeare plays. So Desiderata Valley is where I've used the most common/established/conventional names and I've had a lot of fun playing around with them.

In the early apocalypse days many people died prematurely so that got me into giving sims legacy names, first after relatives who'd died young, and eventually in honour of ancestors in general, mostly from two or so generations ago. Never the exact same name, but something similar in some way (and then another descendant might be named something in honour of that relative, like Elizabeth - Elias - Zacharias). And some sims got names inspired by two or more ancestors, like Maria Jocque, who got her name from a combination of her grandparents', Marcel and Sophia.
Since I started out with the premade sims, I also had fun trying to make out patterns in their names, and potentially combine patterns from different families. The Aspirs already seemed to like legacy names with Pauline seemingly named after the Paulina in her family tree, and the Bells have biblical names, so when Pauline and Daniel had children together I named one Elias both in honour of Elizabeth and because that was also a biblical name.
This hood is also one where I've really felt the passage of time, and it's fun to see how naming trends might shift, both intentionally on my part and by chance. Legacy names aren't as big a thing anymore, but might be coming back in style, possibly even digging further up the family tree, with sims gaining more knowlege about their history. Newer generations also tend to have shorter names, with some exceptions, and in some cases more unconventional.
Another things I've noticed in Desiderata Valley is that, in the Swedish version, there are quite a few female sims with male names and vice versa (including one of the hobby instructors in my game). So for that reason I've intentionally been giving some of my sims unisex names as a nod to that.

I do like to have some restrictions or frames as to what names to give sims, whether it's based on letters/sounds, themes or something else. I've discovered a lot of cool names that way and it makes it a little bit easier to decide. Especially now that I have pages full of potential names for future Strangetown, Veronaville and Desiderata Valley sims alike.

I always give my sims French names. here's my current gameplay, les familles Dupré: Marc Dupré (papa), Benoît Dupré (papa), Élie Dupré (son, young adult) et Yvan Dupré (son, child)
