Dictionary of Names website - great resource!
« on: September 01, 2012, 10:53:37 PM »
This enormous collection of names from all over the world was put together by Kate Monk for the gaming community. The site she started on shut down, so someone else copied it over to it's own site.

The hardest thing for me to do is to come up with an interesting name for something or someone. I wasn't sure where else to put this handy reference for you guys.

Onomasikon means "Dictionary of Names".

Thank you, this will come in very handy. I have no imagination when I have to name my newborns.

Yes!  Now I can stop having naming themes for everything and naming so many of my sims a cross between an everyday object and a color!  Alot of times I ended up with fred... But there will be no more freds in the endless pool of sims I create! (Sorry for anyone named fred....)
