Name My Story Contest! Studio Rec's! :) Illusie!! Congrats! Green Days with the Kays :)

Hellooo!!!

This is my very first contest! :shock:

Ok, so the deal is, I've finally gotten around to writing a story based on my simmies. I have all the pics ready and the first chapter is typed and ready to roll. :mrgreen:
The problem is, my poor story doesn't have a name yet, the most creative name I could think of was "Rockleyfamily's story" :evil: Which just won't do at all at all.

So, this is where you guys come in, you are going to act as my imagination! I want you to think of a name for my story!
The story will take place in Lunar Lakes ( mostly) I've played a lot with this family and am quite far into the storyline. There may be some flashbacks to explain things that have happened in the past.

Read the description below and think of a title that would best suit the family in question. :)

Family name: Kay
Members:
Kayla Kay (Absent-Minded, Hates the Outdoors, Coward, Hydrophobic, Insane)
Edward Kay (Friendly, Family-Oriented, Charismatic, Flirty, Good Sense Of Humour)
Edward and Kayla are husband and wife. They have had some difficulties in the past but they're happy now. They recently moved from Sunset Valley to Lunar Lakes with their family.

Tyrece Kay (Vegetarian, Athletic, Brave, Genius)
Julia Kay (Slob, Coward, Unknown, Perfectionist, Hopeless Romantic)
Julia started life as a doll. She has always been best friends with Tyrece. They fell in love instantly when she turned real and are due to marry as soon as they finish school. Tyrece's real dad in Beau Andrews but he gets along ok with Ed.

Marlana Kay (Born Salesman, Brave, Good, Virtuoso)
Marlana is Kayla's second child and Edwards second step child (we don't talk about her father). She is very good a rarely in trouble. She loves music and does very well at school. She has made a few questionable decisions with love though.

Marlana and Julia

Shaniqua Kay (Easily Impressed, Insane, ???)
Niq is most like her mother, she looks and acts very similarly to how Kayla did when she was that age. She is Edward and Kayla's first mutual daughter and is somewhat of a daddies girl. She dreams of marrying a fairy when she grows up.

Lafayette Kay (Brave, Athletic, ???)
Lafayette is the youngest son of Kayla and Ed. He can't physically sit still, he's always doing something. You will usually find him playing with his doll Hesper or playing pranks on the rest of the household.

Natalie Owen (???)
Natalie is the dog that ended up living with them. She gets on well with Ed but seems to have a problem with Julia. You will usually find her guarding her food bowl or chewing something valuable.

Prizes:
1st place- I will use this title and you will also receive a full studio rec.
Everybody else who enters- Just for being nice enough to participate in my first contest, I will rec a page of your studio.

Closing date
I want to get my story up fairly soon so it's a quick deadline Friday 28th September at 6pm GMT

    Winner

    Because I loved all the titles so much, I found it very hard to choose so I let random.org choose for me! They chose number 9, which was

    Illusie 2

    So the titles of the story you'll all be reading soon will be

    Green Days with the Kays :mrgreen::mrgreen::mrgreen::mrgreen::mrgreen:

    Love it!!! Congrats!
    You win a full studio rec and also I shared a bit of my prize from another contest with you :mrgreen: Surprise! :mrgreen:

    To everyone else who entered, thanks so much, I'm almost done rec'ing everyones studios, so many beautiful creations in there. If you gave more than one title you get more than one page recd, as long as you have more than one page that is.

    Also, to those who entered and nominated people for a prize, my finger slipped :twisted: your studios are now also rec'd, oops.

    Thanks so much everyone for entering and coming up with so many lovely names, you made it very hard for me to choose! :) I'll post the first chapter in this thread when it's ready :)

    You could go simple like:

    Meet the Kays

    Then it would be a play on sitcom families, since this family breaks the TV mold

    Nom: Luckyheather
    For anything I might win :)

    "A Doll's House Tales"
    That's my take on it...because of the the living dolls and well, sims is nothing but a computer simulated doll house (and a very good one at that)...

    Hope you find one that works...

    well my mind kept working...so here it is. " A Doll's House: Tales From the Greenside" because I wanted to add the tales from the darkside, but they are not all dark...but it's pretty green and funny(which is from a certain saying that we said in childhood :twisted: ) ;D

    It's not the most creative, but the first thing that pops into my mind is that there is lots of room for drama, which then reminds me of soap operas...so to parody "The Bold & the Beautiful" (one of just a few soap operas still on the air here in the US) I would have to say go with "The Green & the Beautiful" :mrgreen:

    :mrgreen: Hi, :mrgreen:
    Ummm . . . you could do something like:
    '(Lunar?) Lake of the Dolls', 'Green with Imagination', or, even 'Green: The Colour of Life'.
    Something along those lines maybe?

    The first thing I thought of when I saw the stars on their faces were "Starry Eyed" to borrow the title of Ellie Goulding's song. And then "We're all Okay" as a play off their last name. But if in future legacies you pick a female and she changes her last name then Kay wouldn't particularly fit anymore. So I started thinking of something along the lines of Lunar or Lakes.

    Green lakes? Emerald Lakes? Lunar Love? No Limits (calling attention to the out-of-this-world space, aspect) Outer Limits?

    I'm sorry I couldn't come up with anything better. I picked an odd name for my own legacy so I'm afraid I couldn't be much help.

    That you for the great contest, it was a lot of fun thinking up names for your story especially since you gave such a great background explanation which gave such good information about which sort of titles would work well. It was great fun and link use to your story when it is published!
