Naming My Sims

So I'm sure many of you have played the Sims on computer or whatever else it's on, and I gotta say I love the game. I think it's the greatest thing ever, but the only thing I hate about the game is the naming process. I can't think up names to save my life. I feel bad and weird making Sims with the same names of people I know yet those are the only names I can think of that don't sound like  "black" names. My most famous, famous meaning at least one other person will always recognize it as being my work, (Michelle) is Quanicus. I wanted a Q name for who knows what reason and that's what I came up with.

I feel there's way too much pressure in naming your Sims. It's their entire identity. you'll have to see it for the entire week of their lifespan, before they set the place on fire and just become zombies. That's another thing, my Sims are always horribly suicidal. I give them a little free will and the first thing they do is off themselves, if its not play games until they wet themselves.

I digress. Coming up with the perfect name for your perfect little suicidal family is so hard to me. I don't know how people name their children. I guess that's why so many first born children are named after their parents, then it gets worse as you go down. I mean with my brothers, they have the same middle name, though James' is the Austrian version of it. Way to be diverse Mom and Dad.

I think when it comes time for me to name my children, assuming my husband doesn't have names he set on or can at least choose them, I'll just open a baby name book and close my eyes and point. Gather so many then print them up on a dart board, invite my friends over and see what's most popular. People say that a lot but does anybody ever actually do it? i'll be the first if I can. Otherwise I'll Probably end up naming them after random Marvel Comic heroes and characters. Let the teacher's have fun with the names. "Ororo! raise your hand before you talk!" "Jubaliee where's your manners, doesn't your parents teach you it's rude to say that?" "Pyro, where did you get that book of matches????"

I think it's sad that I'm already planning on any offspring of mine, being troublemakers and problem causers. It's probably out of anger from me giving them such weird names in the first place. At least I won't choose La-a. (Honey, its La DASH a)
