BO - Names
x 28
A replacement names-list (live.package) so your townies aren't stuck with the silly, boring, repetetive Maxis names...
BO-names-no-pets contains 1150 male first names, 1477 female first names, and 1844 last names (identical for males and females). This makes for a total of over 2.1 mln combinations for males, and over 2.7 mln for females. No pet names.
BO-names-with-pets is identical to the above, but also contains 1490 male and 1177 female pet names. Obviously, this one requires Pets!
Obviously, you install only ONE of these files, depending on whether you have Pets installed or not.
Nothing original: I took the names lists made by some of the great names (Jordi, CuteLilDeadGirl, HystericalParoxysm, among others), combined them, sorted the result, removed duplicates and compressed it.
Update, July 28th, 2011: added 7 female first names and 18 last names. Also removed some excess data, making the package a lot smaller.
Major Update, July 29th, 2011: I went a bit out of my way to add as many names as I could find, including Scandinavian and middle-European names. This mod now includes 2,823 male and 2,727 female first names and 5095 family names, making for a total of 14,4 mln combos for males and 13,9 mln for females... Yeah, that's right: there's a total of over 28 mln combos in there!
UPDATE, January 3rd, 2012: Sadly, a slight error in the file caused some names to be merged. This has now been corrected. Re-download is recommended to all. My apologies for the inconvenience.
UPDATE, October 23rd, 2012: Another upgrade, increasing the male first names to 3377, female first names to 3247, and last names to 5693. As a result, the total now comes to 18.5 mln female, and 19.2 male combos. Yes, a whopping 37.7 mln combos in total.

Hi @Rosie,
It may depend on the method used to introduce them into a new hood. If your new townie models are used as templates for the "spawn townies" options on the mailbox or the townie brick or whatever equivalent you may be utilizing, then they should indeed be given different random names from the pool supplied by my mod.
But as you know, some townies, like the ones in the vanilla main hoods, always get the same names, regardless how often you regenerate a new hood with them. Only the townies from sub-hoods are given new names with every fresh rerun. So I'm not certain how *that* exactly works, but my pool should take care of those sub-hood townies at the very least.

Thank you. My vanilla main Hood (N001) only exist for creating a townie pool..I am using these method:
http://www.woodensimolean.com/node/43
http://www.woodensimolean.com/node/47
I will then move that new N001 to program files.
It would be OK if they keep the names I gave them, but better if they would change names for every new Hood I'll create..if I create more.

In short, it really comes down to this: if your method worked with the built-in default names list, it will also work with my extended names list. It will merely have a lot more names to choose from.
