I love playing the sims, but since mine seem to breed like bunnies, I always have a hard time picking names for the kids. I had used my favorites so many times in so many variations, it feels like cheating calling the next kid the same thing. So I was staring at the screen this night, wondering what to call the latest son when my cat solved my problems for me by jumping on the keyboard. What did she name him? []. Yep, []. I could have gone back and found a way to change it, but really I had nothing better at the time. I could imagine when he goes to school:

Teacher: Ok, I'm going to do roll call, so when I call your name, say 'here'. *pauses, staring at class list*
[]: *sighs* It's pronounced "brackets".
Teacher: Oh, ok... *wonders if his parents were drugs when they named him*

LOL... I had my friend close his eyes one time and type a name.. the poor boy ended up with the name "fveerdr".. we called him "fever" for short. My sims always end up with odd names... I just take sounds and put them together.

when i play the sims, instead of choosing names i like and then running out, i just pick whatever pops into my head first..or whatever seems to "fit".

lol, what a name.
I hardly ever use my favorites because I am afraid the sim will change my impression of the name, it sounds weird, but I have found myself preferring certain sims over others lol. I usually just pick a name that I don't think I've used, and one that I think works for the sim.

I named my friend's son once. She married Ashley Pitts (or I think that was the stupid townie's name) and I named him Harry. She wanted to kill me. I forget what she proceeded to name my daughter.

LOL! Wouldn't be surprised if someone in real life does that some day...

As for me, I'd vote for @...
