Real Families...and Fake Ones Too. ;)
Nov. 13th, 2009 06:30 pmI met a set of siblings yesterday.
Jaycee (g, 4th grade?)
Caden (b, 1st grade)
Brennan (b, 4 yrs.?)
When I heard the first two, I was inwardly cringing at the trendiness. Brennan isn't bad though, and they were all very nice kids.
Today, a woman who is friends with my grandparents was over and she was talking about various members of her family. If I correctly gathered, her daughter is Lisa. Lisa's daughters are Lindsey and Lauren. Lindsay's daughters, age 2, are Addie and Ava. I think that is a cute set for twins. I'm not sure if Addie is short for anything. I think Adele and Ava would be pretty nice, but for all I know, it's Addison or just Addie.
On to the fake family. I'm doing a Legacy Challenge in Sims 2. Actually, not so much of a challenge. They come with all sorts of rules I'm not using. The only thing I'm keeping is that you don't use money cheats and from each generation you pick an heir to the house and fortune. Usually, these go for 10 generations, but mine is going for...more. Really, I guess it is a challenge in that sense. I'm doing the founder plus 26 generations. That's the idea anyway. I've chosen an alphabet theme since I like names so much. Each generation will have its own letter.
So...
Founder T'Omega married Marisa Bendett, a Townie
Their first child is Adelaide.
I need three children for Founder's Lifetime Want, but there's always the possibility of surprise multiples.
The first boy will definitely be Alistair.
Ideas for any subsequent girls are Antigone and Avalon. Which should be first choice? Or do you have any other ideas?
For boys, I'm thinking Amos. I'm trying to avoid using two Al-- names, but I might be convinced to use Algernon.
I need more boy ideas and girl ideas are welcome too, as I said. So what goes with Adelaide and Alistair?
