Name Rants

maybe I’m the opposite because when I was in high school playing on Nameberry I wished that it was spelled “Oonah” because when I wrote [name_f]Oona[/name_f] in cursive it felt unfinished with all the loopy letters


related but unrelated, [name_f]Nora[/name_f] is blonde and [name_f]Norah[/name_f] is brunette in my world

Wrong. [name_f]Nora[/name_f] is as brunette as it gets in any spelling

This is a very silly name nerd rant more than anything, but I dislike naming parents when I do CAFs. For Generation CAFs, it’s fine, but I’m talking about how I get ready to start a nice family CAF and I’m thinking about the sibling set and the balance and the nicknames… but first I gotta name these two adults who are gonna break all my fun little patterns because their names won’t fit with the set. It’s like having to eat the orange Starbursts when all I want are the reds.

On the contrary, I can’t do CAFs without the parents because, then, I’m like ‘who made all of you? did you pop out of a cabbage patch?’ and I like to give the parents sibsets and stuff too.

…but I want the orange Starbursts!!

My cafs pet peeve is when the namebanks for the parents are “Liam, [name_m]Asher[/name_m], [name_m]Kai[/name_m], [name_m]Luca[/name_m], [name_m]Eli[/name_m], and Oliver” for example (as a caf maker I’m sort of guilty of this sometimes though) because I just cannot imagine names that are popular now on a grown man. My brain just buffers haha!

Tbh, when I participate in CAF games I’ve never known what all the abbreviations mean like “DH/DF” etc. some of them look really complicated and I just leave the post if it looks too overwhelming :rofl:

lol I have exactly the same problem. Often I just skip the parents all together!
