Were did you get your sim names from?
The Commodore:
I get a lot of my sim names by going on baby name sites, honestly. If I really cannot think of a name, that's where I turn.
But usually I just sit there and run random words through my head and most of the time I'll come up with something fairly unusual.
Ivoriku:
I always just search "american girl names" on google.
Great names are on those sites, I use them most of the time.
Stinkerbella:
I get my names from some of the places everyone else here uses. Most times if I get really stuck for a last name, I read the labels of things I have closest to me. I once named a sim family Garnier. :D I named another Gamble of that Proctor & Gamble Company. I sometimes use celeb last names or cartoon last names. I once named a sim Chase after watching a Chase banking commercial. I just hate when that part comes up I draw a complete blank.
sabriena:
I used to just look around my desk and pick out things and name my sims last name whatever it was. Then I would just sit and think of a name to actually name them.
Until I found this thread! Now I use the behindthename.com sites that people listed and love those sites! I even have some names written down so in case someone has a baby I don't have to alt tab out of the game and look up a name. Very awesome website for first and last names!
MaryH:
I just copied one of the Census Bureau's "most popular names" table from the 50's..and have been converting it to a text file. Tons of names, all ranked from most to least popular.
I have a lot of names to choose from! Some of them are repeats, but many are just "alternative spelling" forms of the same name. I don't think I'm gonna run out of names very soon!
