names

[alleliua]

I love names.

I originally made this list for my own benefit, because I tend to do stupid things like forget I've used a name and use it again. But then I thought, well, if other folk are as fascinated by what people name their sims as I am, perhaps you'd all like a look. These are the names for Sunderland Gap - data for Golden is coming, I guess.

I like the names you use, and I use a few of those already. Do you mind if I use some of these names as well?

[alleliua]

Sure, go for it! I nick names from other simmers all the time so it'd be weird if I said no :D

[professoralenic]

Wow! It's weird, I have most of the same names in mine. This is useful, though. Thanks.

[alleliua]

Ah, another pommy-snotty-names devotee? XD

[professoralenic]

Ha, very much so!

I squee'd at the following names, regardless of your original references (if any):

Fabala - Wicked!
Ofelia - Pan's Labyrinth!
Zoe - Firefly!
Dee - John Dee! Both the historical version and Sandman version!
Faraday - Daniel Faraday is sexy as hale!
Strange - Johnathan Strange & Mr Norrell!
Washburne - Firefly!

[alleliua]

LOL, nearly all of them are exactly where I got them from :D
I even named the Strange's dog Jonathan, so in my game he's a Dalmatian.

Dee is a partial yes - but also chosen as a last name for Mickey, because Mickey Dee's is a nickname for McDonalds. Because that's how I roll.

Except I don't know who Daniel Faraday is. :( The pop culture reference for that one only works with second and last name together - King Faraday is a character from Justice League: New Frontier and I really liked the name so I stole it wholesale.

[alleliua]

*first and last name together...

Actually, looking down the list at least half of them have literary/pop culture meaning to me. Dear Lord.

Nandi's another Firefly name. And there's Blankets, Batman Beyond, Buffy, Douglas Adams, C.S. Lewis, Fairly Odd Parents... I'm going to stop now, I'm scaring myself. Darn you and your casual interest in the origins of things.

Daniel Faraday is a character from Lost, played by Jeremy Davies who was also Peter in one of my favorite movies ever: Secretary. King Faraday however, is an equally awesome reference as New Frontier is fantastic.

ILU SO HARD FOR THE WHOLE JONATHAN STRANGE & MR NORRELL THING. Seriously. If this were RL and it weren't creepy and I weren't a complete social retard I would bake you a goddamn cake. Batman Beyond! Fairly Odd Parents! Blankets!

Excuse me while I heartfart over in the corner.

you & carrie have the best names ever. Hands down my favorite name: Filament.

[alleliua]

LOL thank you! (I love Carrie's naming flair too.)

Filament's one of my favourites too. His half-sisters are Fenchurch and Fabala, I really like that whole family for names :D
