Funny Townie Names

[Gatorade3]

Recently I've begun to notice some townies in game to have children and give them the worst names ever. Like Jamie Jolina from Sunset Valley: she had a son with Christopher Steel and named him Ferby. Teeny! Also, sometimes the game generates new Sims that move into town and they have a myriad of personalities, appearances and names. Like this guy named Michael. Michael Hunt. If only his named was abbreviated to Mike... Then there was Ivana Mandic! I lol'ed so hard it was painful. Share any other names you've encountered!

[morphius1]

I don't ever see these funny names. I create all the sims and use a name generator to name them.

[applefeather2]

I lol'ed so hard it was painful. Share any other names you've encountered!
:rofl: I know the feeling.
Some grads of awhile ago:
Leff Jello
Dis Preggitt
Drekky Juss
Ott Skevins
Balise Wafflewood
ETA: These were the names I could hear called out during grad ceremonies, so I don't know if they were actually in the game, but it was a good laugh anyway.

[Gatorade3]

Lol! Either way they're funny :) I guess this thread could just be names in general, really, but I'm not sure if that's on topic ;)

[r_deNoube]

I would love it if auto-generated names were like the ones that Applefeather2 heard at graduation. Failing that, I shall try to develop a talent for thinking them up. To me, they have a native Sim sound that is more pleasant and natural than the colonial or Ellis Island-style names that many EA Sims have been saddled with.

[calisims]

There was another thread like this some time ago. My favorite townie name that I ever got in my game was Santos de los Santos. I expected him to see him performing miracles all over town. At the very least, he should have been accompanied by heavenly music wherever he went.
I know that a lot of the names on the list for townie generation in Sims 2 were actually names of EA employees, who are a very multi-national bunch. I can only assume the same is true for Sims 3.

[MinghamSmith]

My game once generated a Cletus Elkins, which was amusingly hillbilly-ish.

World Adventures tourist names can also be odd. If you're a history buff or have been following events in the Middle East for the past couple of years, tourists called Robespierre and Mubarak sound more than a little questionable.

[kewpie]

I still love my Muhammed Christian that was once generated. The dancers in my game always get naughty puns like Honey Buns (current dancer) I don't know if that is EA standard or Twallan's doing. I like the names of the Imaginary friends too.

[ViviSims2]

Jack Jackson.

Seriously?

[calisims]

I once had a Roman Roman.

[annoellyn]

My sims names are always okay. The only one that sticks out is Chadd. Why the second d? Lol. Graciela sticks out for me, too.

[nikel23]

I still love my Muhammed Christian that was once generated. The dancers in my game always get naughty puns like Honey Buns (current dancer) I don't know if that is EA standard or Twallan's doing. I like the names of the Imaginary friends too.
You'll never find anyone with that name IRL for sure.

In one of the bloopers, I've seen Precious Lemons. lol

[sunnyside83]

In Lucky Palms a name that just generated for a newborn was Wilbert Gilbert. That made me laugh. Also one time the game named a boy Helmet, I changed that. A lot of the times I just leave some random weird or ugly names because well IRL you can't control what people name their children, but Helmet no lol. No sim children named after protective headgear for me haha.

[r_deNoube]

Jack Jackson.

Seriously?Um... Robbie Robertson? (Something to think about, anyway, just saying.)

[kiatyn]

Heh, I just got a Julius Cesar. :) Yes, I had CAS him to make him have the "emperor of evil" LTW as soon as I saw it. :)


(and yes I know, Julius wasn't necessarily an evil emperor. But THIS Julius had that trait. :) And, I didn't want to rename him Nero. )

[MinghamSmith]

Also one time the game named a boy Helmet, I changed that. A lot of the times I just leave some random weird or ugly names because well IRL you can't control what people name their children, but Helmet no lol. No sim children named after protective headgear for me haha.

I can only assume Helmet was a case of the developers disastrously misspelling the name Helmut, which is a perfectly valid German name that may have no connection whatsoever to protective headgear.*

I've also had French tourist names that end in "the XVI," which would inevitably lead to an even more awkward version of the Malcolm Landgraab IV problem from TS2 where anyone who marries them gains the roman numeral as well as the surname. The word "the" should never be acquired through marriage. Or by inheritance, for that matter.

*Meaning unclear- "-mut" roughly translates to "courage" or "vigour," while "hel" resembles various words in different languages. "Hel" admittedly does resemble "helm" or "helmet", but has also been linked to words for "bright", "sword" and "hell," so anyone naming their son Helmut probably isn't calling them a metal hat.

[Kestie Freehawk]

I never have anything but Mexican names.

[Gatorade3]

Hahaha some of these are super funny! I have recently gotten a Sandy Beech in game and a Wesley West.

[MandyMarie87]

Speaking of really awful names, what about making a town of sims with names like I.P. Freely, Oliver Pantzhoff and Isaac Urcock.

[candesco]

Once saw a NPC with the name Hans Worst (my game is in dutch), which clearly refers to hanswurst.

[chreai]

While playing Bridgeport, I ran across a female townie named Sparkles Sanchez. And I once had not one, but two guys named Gustav Gusto living in my town at the same time. Seriously, what are the chances?? I've also seen Candy Bar and Sugar Free.

[DigitalSympathies]

Leff Jello

That's it. Once I learn to play a musical instrument, THAT IS MY BAND NAME.

[ninedoors]

This is completely random and a completely normal name, but for some reason Jenny Jones-Brown in Twinbrook makes me giggle. I don't know why. I think my brother was watching me play or something and he started checking out the names and we got a little silly so I adopted a Bernie Mac voice and said 'Jenny Jones-Brown.' You really need to hear it the way I hear it in my head to appreciate it but despite all of the cracked out names townies can have, this is still the one that gets me the most.

[QueenJimmyIV]

My favorite name is Torgo Pendragon.

If I can't find a mate for a female Legacy during her teen years, Torgo is the one I call on when it comes to match-making. Every time she gets hungry, she orders a large sausage and mushroom on thin crust and hopes for Torgo to deliver it. It might be two hours later, but the pizza will still be warm and she'll get the complimentary Crazy Bread.

(If you get this, then I love you. Let's have babies.)

[KittyCarey]

The ones I find strange are the names that just don't fit with the rest of their family. When the first two sons are called Ethan and Julian, why call the third Hiram? When the older daughter is called Claudia, why name the younger one Sunshine?

[kampffenhoff]

I just saw a notice that a Sim in Starlight Shores had given birth to a son called Grunt Grumble. The parents are called Gray Grumble and Viol Grumble.

[Sunshine021]

I noticed a pre-made Sim in Twinbrook named Nick Knack earlier. :faceslap:

[Howabominable]

I noticed a pre-made Sim in Twinbrook named Nick Knack earlier. :faceslap:

Almost all of the pre-made sims in Twinbrook have punny names like that.

[JaneeMinx]

My favorite was always Goopy Gilscarbo. I recreated him in my game.

[vhanster]

Is "Bobbi Babcock" weird enough? Or maybe "Boyd Boyce".

Hmm... why does all of the weird names I found have BB initial?

[Sunshine021]

Almost all of the pre-made sims in Twinbrook have punny names like that.

Ah yes, but then again, I rarely play Twinbrook, so I never notice what kind of names the people have there. :P

[simbalena]

Why don't those names fit with the rest of the family?

Better than twins called Noel Montaque and Noel Montaque!

[JustTheDoll]

The weirdest names I've come across are:

Ti Red. (Tired.)
Moneall Tyme. (Moan all the time.)

c:

[Zokugai]

If you use Twallan's Story Progression, one of the options under Pregnancy is to let you name all the baby sims/horses/cats/dogs/any combination thereof born in the town. And when the popup appears it has a name already suggested, so you don't have to change it if it isn't shitty. I use it to make sure my sims get ethnically appropriate names, after all the billion times I've had some white Anglo-Saxon family name their son Jamal.

A lot of the times with the weird names I let them go ahead and use it. It gives the neighborhood a quirky sense and reminds me of Sims 2 or 1, when everyone's name was a pun. So my towns have a lot of Norma Average or Stellan Steel or Godric Goddards running around.

[malibibic]

If only his named was abbreviated to Mike... Then there was Ivana Mandic! I lol'ed so hard it was painful. Share any other names you've encountered!

Ivana is Croatian name (and some other countries have that name) and Mandic is Croatian last name. I never saw Croatian names in my game.

[babele44]

Hugh Kidding in Appaloosa Plains

[vhanster]

Brain LaLaland.

Seriously? LaLaLand? :wtf: That particular Sim probably got a Brain damage during his birth and he lives the rest of his life in Lalaland

[grizzlis]

Well, I had a family move into my town. Dad, mom, two daughters - all of them black. And guess what last name did my game choose for them? Cotton.
The Cottons. Uh, my game is kind of racist.

[vhanster]

Should mention that if you participate in Horse-riding competition (especially international), you come across very amusing names. There are Crooks, Gentiles, and the likes showing up quite frequently.

[nikel23]

Here, my Sim who happened to meet a generated townie. She isn't a sweet girl. Literally.

[Chinchillagrl6]

Jack Hammer is a dancer generated in my game. Totally cracked me up.

[FridaKahlo]

My favorite name is Torgo Pendragon.

If I can't find a mate for a female Legacy during her teen years, Torgo is the one I call on when it comes to match-making. Every time she gets hungry, she orders a large sausage and mushroom on thin crust and hopes for Torgo to deliver it. It might be two hours later, but the pizza will still be warm and she'll get the complimentary Crazy Bread.

(If you get this, then I love you. Let's have babies.)

He was always my favorite too! I had a really good laugh when I first saw him in my game! And I totally got your reference :) I think we should name our first child Mike or Pearl :rofl:

[elanorbreton]

My game came up with Kermit as a random name. Kermit Wolff in Sunset Valley (child of Thornton & Morgana). Every time I ran across him all I could think of was the muppets show, so I used twallans MC to change his name. Then shortly afterwards I came across another Kermit...

[Randee15]

I just had an NPC spawn with the name Ray Gunne. Really! I took pity on him and renamed him Raymond.

[KittyCarey]

Why don't those names fit with the rest of the family?

It turns out Hiram is a rare biblical name, not the one I thought it was, so he does fit with his brothers. Oops.

Brain LaLaland.

Seriously? LaLaLand? :wtf: That particular Sim probably got a Brain damage during his birth and he lives the rest of his life in Lalaland

I've had a Brain before, though not a LaLaland. Fun fact: Brain is a real surname (I don't know about first name). There are real people called Mr/Ms Brain.

[BlackjackGabbiani]

My favorite name is Torgo Pendragon.

If I can't find a mate for a female Legacy during her teen years, Torgo is the one I call on when it comes to match-making.

Ok that tears it, someone has to do MST3K mods including the Master's outfit.


I have a guy in my game whose name is entirely in chatspeak. Unfortunately since I have no current game I can't bring it up but it's like Cyc10nesomething.

and I did get a chuckle out of seeing the surname Elfman since Danny is my favorite composer.

[Sakarri]

Do you mean Cycl0n3 Sw0rd (http://sims.wikia.com/wiki/Cycl0n3_Sw0rd)?

[BlackjackGabbiani]

Yeah yeah, that one!

[Randee15]

And my game called another unfortunate NPC something regrettable: Candy Bar! I'm a benevolent Watcher, so I'm going to rename her Candice. (Like Ray Gunne to Raymond Gunne, it keeps the pun, but is mercifully much subtler.)

[kittymaniac12345]

i remember playing ts3 on my ds on holiday and finding a blue hot-headed dude called Eddie Kruger! I laughed so hard when i accidentaly left my ds on overnight only to discover she had married him!!!! :) - Kittymaniac12345

[kittymaniac12345]

i saw Cycl0n3 Sw0rd in my own gameplay today tooo!! - kittymaniac12345

[misslaheela]

For whatever reason, pet names just crack me up. I'll find a dog on someone's front porch and be like, "Oh, is this a stray?" No, it's Biscuit Little Dog. I don't know who owns Biscuit Little Dog, because there's nobody in town with the last name of Little Dog. But yeah. I think it's kind of pointless for dogs to have last names. It'd be more convenient to have "Biscuit, owned by such and such" when you put your cursor over them.

[vhanster]

The first wild Unicorn I encountered was "Cookie Horse" :blink: I seriously believe that the animals' last name bar should be disabled.

[misslaheela]

A unicorn's not even a horse! That'd be like finding a mountain lion in the Sims and the game calling it "Snarls Cat." Yeah, I guess it's related to a cat, but I'm not going to tell THAT to its face...

[Gatorade3]

Sorry for bumping an old thread, although its only 17 days old. Anyways, Fiona McIrish and Cyclone Sw0rd had a baby, Deedee McIrish-Sw0rd, just thought I'd inform you. ;)

[TheGyroCaptain]

Hmm I've had some purty random ones
Ocean Almassizadeh
Alvin Foot

yeh ...

[TrillianRikku]

I got this one when I did the Family man challange

http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c124/Ghanima478/babyLandgrabb.png

[KittyCarey]

I've got a cat wandering around Riverview called Kitty Cat.

I may adopt it.

[AlphaDogMJP]

Rudolph Rein. He was even wearing red and white. :|

[shadedgrey63]

I have a sim (or pet) in my town with French Fry as their first name.

[AlphaDogMJP]

I have a sim (or pet) in my town with French Fry as their first name. Me too! :rofl:

[hugbug993]

First time I ran Twinbrook with NRaas Story Progression, I got some pretty great hyphenated names.

Bull-Sargent
Knack-Racket
Wolfe-Hunter
Whelohff-Racket

[Elphiron]

In one town there was a stray cat walking around called Ratchet Cat. I'm guessing the tops of its legs were attached to toothed cogs which then rotated to keep the cat moving.

[TrillianRikku]

I just got this one

http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c124/Ghanima478/WTF.png

poor kid

omg me too! knack-racket was my fave. i ended up uninstalling sp because it was waaay too fast for me even on lowest setting, but i enjoyed having a giggle at all the weird names popping up in the corner.

i've not noticed that so many names were puns! ill keep my eyes open today and let you know what i find :)

[Oo-SquEmily-oO]

I can remember playing the sims 2 ones, and the name of one of the randomly generated townies was...Wait for it...Knut Kluster :rofl:. I laughed so much as it reminded me of the Crunchy Nut Cluster cereals by kellogs.

[Nauthiz.]

I remember starting a new game and when the newspaper kid came, his name was Ted Bundy. :rofl:

And recently I got a singer NPC called Torrey Singer. His map tag read "Torrey Singer, Singer".

[Oo-SquEmily-oO]

Sounds to me like he was a 'Singer' (Surname) and a 'Singer' as in, Occupation. :lol: Sarcasm! :giggler:

[Wojtek]

One of the babysitter generated in my game name was Józefa Józefko. The game randomly chose from hundreds of names and surnames the two, that match. It was awesome!

[eskie227]

How would you pronounce that? Are you playing an English version, because I've never gotten letters with diacritical marks above them before?

[Axe Gaijin]

Current game, testing out Seasons but getting way to attached to my sims, I encountered a Sim named Cherrie Pie.

According to master controler she's a Dancer. If it's a random townie name, it's a goodie :)

[lewisb40]

I like to create sim families and place them in town as NPC families. In one of my created families, I had a toddler named P-Nut Clash. The funny thing is he got an IF named Peanut. That made me laugh when the notification came up as " Aww, looks like P-Nut is getting to know Peanut" or something like that.

[fullsheet]

I once had a townie running the consignment register...his name Maka Deal

[Wojtek]

How would you pronounce that? Are you playing an English version, because I've never gotten letters with diacritical marks above them before?Ah, I forgot to mention it. I do play the name in Polish version but I created a mod which replaces randomly generated names and surnames with Polish (or polonized) ones like:

http://img267.imageshack.us/img267/9980/nazwiska.jpg

It's not funny for me, but I think those names and surnames seem quite exotic for majority of you xD

j like y as in a word 'yes'
ó like o as in a word move
z like z
e like e as in a word met
f like f
a like a as in a word father

Ah, must be party-dancer. Their names are hilarious. My minds gone blank now, and I can't think of one, but check them out next time you see them ;)
I assume they're supposed to be 'stage names', to protect their identities.

Wow, those names aren't atall what I'd expect. The place where I live has a plurality of Polish Americans and I've never seen those last names anywhere here. Way less -wicz, way more -ski and zb- around here

[Wojtek]

From a database of 400.000 surnames which are used in Poland I chose 6254 to completely replace the default ones. I had to skip the adjective-based ones (those formed from adjectives with endings like -ski, -cki etc.) because there are two versions of adjective-based surnames. Women have a different ending and the game would not recognize it. I had to pick only noun-based one with the same version both for males and females with endings like: -wicz and others. I replaced the default ones because I wanted to see more native names and surnames. My neighborhood is a mix of native population and people of Polish descent. It's not uncommon in my game to see sims named: Ciechosława Snypes. It's fun. :)

[daniandan]

The most weirdest sims name that I have come across, would have to be "Girbits Worthington".
I was like 'who names their child Girbits'

[r_deNoube]

Eu! Eu dee, "vo Girbits!", vetorg?

Calm down and speak English, Ronnie.

OK. Girbits is "Llamas" in the old tongue, the language of Sims 2.

Yeah must be it, never even used party NPCs so I didn't know.
I saved her to the bin because she was actually rather cute :)

[Cynic]

The other day I saw a townie named 'Jon Lessen', which I thought was funny at the time since I was actually listening to a Beatles song.

[CherryRose!]

All I will say is Toile Paper.

[animekitten42]

in my sims 2 (idk if they're welcome in this discussion), i have some townie teen named amber amber. my immediate thought was a tumblr meme, the epic of moon moon the wolf. XD
