    From my RL family tree:

    Pleasant, which could be either gender (I know this only because it has shown up as both)
    Ellender
    Zenith (which was a Brand Name for a radio in the very early 20th century and that's what she was named for. Sadly, she passed at around age 11 from pneumonia)
    Aquilla, a masculine name (don't ask me how to pronounce it, I haven't a clue.)
    Melvina, feminine.
    Eda
    Ida,
    Ada,
    Strangerman
    Fielding
    Cornilius


    Can't think of anymore at this point, but hope my few names help.

    Maybe I'm just a nerd, but sometimes I name mine with elven names from LOTR, DA, Skyrim, D&D, and Elf Quest.

    I don't like unique names. In real life. It's just pretentious.
    In sims I guess I use "unique" names as in they're not English names.

    I don't use "unique" names really, but I can still give you a list of french firstnames if you want.
  • SimAlexandriaSimAlexandria Posts: 4,845 Member
    Some of the names listed are actually super popular where I live now haha. Myself, I love unique names but not just because they're unique. I have to really like the sound of it as a name I won't use it just because it's different from other names.

    They names I use right now are probably a combo of common and unique, and not sure which would be which depending on where you guys live I guess haha! I would be curious to see if you consider any of these ones unique or not LOL! I think most are common.

    Alexandria
    Abby
    Connor (girl)
    Jenab (girl)
    Aaron
    Dylan (girl)
    Genevieve
    Carlos
    Brandon
    Emily
    Felix
    George
    Heidi
    Isaiah
    Jeremiah
    Katie
    Lucy
    Zelda-Jane
    Sarah
    Kenya
    Salim

    Once I named my sim Ethaniel. And sometimes I also give weird spellings for relatively common names (for example once I named my sim Cayke (pronounced kah-EE-kee) instead of the more common spelling Caíque, which is not an unusual name in Brazil, but the different spelling definitely is). Also, probably most names that I pick for my sims would be unique in the US since they're usually Brazilian names, such as Felipe, Fernando, Aline, Manuela, André, Juliana, etc, or even Caíque that I mentioned before.

    Aquilla, a masculine name (don't ask me how to pronounce it, I haven't a clue.)

    a-quil-a

    The first 'a' is pronounced as an 'ah' sound.

    Quil is pronounced like 'pill', except with a 'Q'. Also, pretty much pronounced the same as 'quill', the writing implement.

    And the final 'a' is pronounced just as it is.

    It is Italian. :)

    On topic: I am a huge fan of Roman and Germanic names.

    Thank you. He's from a branch not directly related to me. His older sister was the second wife of my sixth (6X) great-grandfather. I had to ask because I mispronounced the surname of the actor who portrayed Spock in the newer movies. I took the Qui and pronounced it Key-toe, instead of Kwin-toe. Quinto Face/palm.

    I prefer English names, on the whole.
