1. I was looking around name sites, and at babynames.com I did a search for "American" boy names. The first three made me die: Adymn, Alexavier, and Anakin. If you fancy a laugh, you should check this out (If the link doesn't work, the search is easy to replicate). Some, like Ethanael, look almost like they could be legit (who am I to say if that is or isn't actually a biblical name?). Some, like Mykelti, claim a biblical meaning ("Who is like God?") but I'm pretty sure aren't actually biblical (what's wrong with Michael?). A few highlights from lower down on the list: Probert and Rangle. I don't know if these are just visitor submissions or names that at least one person has actually inflicted upon a child, but either way...it was a good laugh.

2. Anyways, the web-browsing was a tangent from a list of names I was posting. I don't have any real people names to share, but I have Sims! This is a list of names of babies born so far in my current generation.

Yes, I got Skandar from Skandar Keynes. Melian is from Tolkien. Maïte should probably be Maïté but I was lazy. I try to pick names that fit the family, so I have some very "normal" names (Alyssa, Molly, Michael, Dean) and some ... less normal (Falcon, Dare, Indy, Aziza). The game is nice because I can pick names that I like but aren't my real life taste.

The only name I don't really like is Flannery, but I wanted a female 'F' name, Finley was taken (her mother), and Fiona doesn't fit the family. It has grown on me since...the kid is just so cute it's hard not to like!



If you're really bored, I have a "census" page with all the sims who are or have been in my neighborhood over here.

My first thought was Nathaniel too, but that seemed a bit uncommon compared to the other names.

That makes sense
Kyan is probably the best of the lot.
