I used to love using 'LaBou'
but then I met someone with the last name 'Labauve', pronounced the same as the former and so now I feel that it would be strange to use it.
As a writer, I find myself looking for really good names, first and last, for the characters I create. Besides having a look through Baby Names books (and my unusual names copy was terrific) I flip through ye olde Phone Book for surnames.
Wait... I'm just naming things I see...
(I love lamp! aahahaha... Shut it.)
But seriously folks, this is an awesome list to pop in on when trying to find a last name, which is what I'm doing right now.
Awesome!
Hey, that's really funny. Thanks for the chuckle. But on a serious note, when my Grant Aunt was born and they needed a name for her her older siblings looked around (one of the boys, I believe) and saw the radio. Brand name Zenith. Guess what they named her? :-P
I always have such a hard time coming up with last names for my Sims. Mine are all so unoriginal. This thread will probably help me a lot though, thanks guys
I normally use Mortiz or Lanier.
But when I get bored of using the same names I just hit the keyboard and see if I can make a name out of that, always works .
There are so many awesomely unique names here; I have trouble thinking of Sim surnames names, so this thread is defiantly helpful. And while they may not be the most original, here are a few that I thought of:
Sampson
Betker
Withers
Stoney
Street
Ellis
Stevens
Brinker
Winchester
Freight
Rosenburg
Summers
Burkhart
Brennan
Potter
Grayson
Aldrin
Green
Chbosky
Snicket
Baudelaire
House
Peacock
Frost
I usually get my names from: historical figures, tv shows, movies, books, even other games - heros, villains, and sometimes even game programmers!
Crowe - SIERRA GAMES programmer (Mark Crowe)
Murphy - SIERRA GAMES programmer (Scott Murphy)
Less -STAR WRECK (Star Trek parody) book series character (Admiral Ruth Less)
Bains - SIERRA GAME character (Jessie Bains - Police Quest 1& 2)
Watts - SIERRA GAME character (Laura Watts - Police Quest 1)
Morales - SIERRA GAME character (Patricia Morales - Police Quest 3)
Burns - JEM cartoon character (Sheila "Jetta"Burns)
Phillips - JEM cartoon character (Mary "Stormer" Phillips)
Maza - GARGOYLES cartoon character (Elisa Maza)
Campbell - BRITANNIC movie character (Vera Campbell)
Tepes - HISTORY (Vlad Tepes aka. "Vlad the Impaler") 1431-1476
Bathory - HISTORY (Elizabeth Bathory aka. "Blood Countess") 1560-1614
Look around and get inspired, even if your Sim doesn't look close to the people who inspired your name. :^)
There's a lot of good suggestions here, so I'll just throw this in since you were asking for a variety of cultures...
Benally is a common Navajo surname. I think it has a really nice sound to it, too.
Oh, and if you live in the cheapest Bridgeport apartment, one of your neighbors is an American Indian, Takala Yazzie. I forget what tribe her name comes from, though. I'm leaning toward either Navajo or Lakota.
My apologies if any of these have been said before :P
