    Should sims have first, middle, AND last names? Should they also be allowed to have preferred ames?

    For example, if I want to name my sim, Victoria, but I want her to go by Vicky, or, Tori, I will have to make one of those her first name. Or if I want to name my sim David, but I want him to go by Dave, I will have to make Dave his first name.

    I would also like to give my sims middle names.

      I feel as though this is kind of useless though. And sims don't call each other by name so what's the point of ames?

      As long as giving them a middle name is optional. Sometimes choosing a first name is bad enough! :D

      I don't care much about names. Coming up with a first name and surname is hard enough for me 😂

      YES!
      Give us some Russia representation already. Everyone in Russia has middle name. And in some other contries too.

      I don't see a need for middle name, since it wouldn't be used for anything anyway, but I think a nickname/diminutive system would be great. In my native languages we use diminutives a lot. For example, maybe close friends could use the diminutive (so, you'd see David listed as Dave in your contacts if he's your friend), or Sims could use them with babies (also in contacts, in notifications and so on) automatically.

      Well... duh! Almost everyone I know has a middle name and/or a nickname. I'd like some realism here, EA.

      I personally don't care either way, I just use the Randomized name generator 95% of the time because I can't ever think of names so I would probably never use a "Middle Name" function.

      In my country, most people don't have middle name - myself included - so this concept doesn't interest me that much. Just let us pick preferred pronouns for our sims.

      I wouldn't mind an option for a middle name. Some countries, (such as the aforementioned Russia in this thread) do use them for formal situations but if you don't want to give them a middle name, then you don't have to.

      I already throw the middle name into the first name section with a space between the two names, if I want to use it.

      Always "River McIrish" ...and maybe some Bebe Hart. ~innocent expression~
