As I've mentioned before, when you add a neighbourhood as a subhood (shopping district, downtown or university), any townies and NPCs in that 'hood get their names randomized. Very annoying when you want to add Pleasantview and suddenly Meadow Thayer isn't Meadow Thayer anymore.
Unfortunately, the only way to fix this is to change the sims' names, one by one, in SimPE or through some ingame naming hack. But when
singularity125 asked me about it saying they couldn't remember all the townie/NPC names, I thought I could at least upload these screenshots I took of the Pleasantview, Strangetown and Bluewater Village townies and NPCs when I built the uberhood the first time. (I couldn't remember all the names either. :P) These are only the townies and NPCs that still exist in my templates, btw, and not all the ones I got rid of. (Minus the two witches in Belladonna Cove, I didn't screenshot them because I never planned on Belladonna Cove being a subhood back then. But you can find them on the wiki.)
Enough rambling. Here are the screenshots:
