| Hi
there! I live in a Uruguayan neighborhood so we speak Spanish and use Spanish
or Latin names mostly. Some common names are Ana, María, Paola,
Laura (female names), Daniel, Enrique, Alejandro, Pablo (male names). It's
also common to have sims with two names: María Noel, Juan José,
Ana María, etc. Anyway we have a people whose ancestors emigrated
here a long time ago from a lot of countries (my case), so we have a wide
variety in names! |

What
shall the baby be named?
March
19, 2003 - by Ursull S. Swims
Every single day more
than 5000 babies are born in the SimCity area. In addition there are the
many adoptions. Have you ever thought of how difficult it is to find a
unique name for each of these children?
Well, you won't have to find
a name for the 4999 other babies, but it can be hard enough to find a proper
name for your own child. It is a decision that can never be reversed, and
your beloved child will have to live with the name for a full life. It's
definitely not an easy choice!
There is an old Simmish naming
tradition that most modern Sims are not aware of. It was a common ritual
only 100 years ago, but today it might be found too old fashioned. In the
past a child was always named after two of its grand parents. The first
part from one grand parent's name was to be combined with the last part
of another grand parent's name. For example could a child with two grand
parents named Elizabelle and Berthold be given the name Elithold or even
Bertabelle. With similar combinations with 4 grand parents would result
in 16 different names to choose from. What do you think of
- this one is a real classic name according to Simmish traditions.
Because of the combinations
some names might be kind of strange, compared to the names we prefer today.
But still, there is a rich culture hiding in these personified names, and
the tradition of bringing along a piece of 2 grand parents is very good
for the family ties. More important in the old days when the tribe meant
so much, but could still be essential for the new Sim's identity.
I've collected some of the
more common old names, and in my new Naming your Baby service, you can
find more than 3500 suggested names! Click the button on left side top
of this page to run the naming service.
If you find the names too
exotic for a sim of the modern community, maybe they would be good for
your cat or dog? |
