Well, most sims i have, are like, alien-y people (including my Time Lords, Laakhatea Sweptlifar, her loom-cousin\twin-brother Toorehiki, and Watalu Myloto, who operated on a different time-line and actually lived on her own, in a "Mashuga-style" house near Pinochle Pond, and then invited Iliana Langerak in as her companion, unlike Laakha and Toorey who lived in the Landgraab home.), humanized Pokèmon or some such, characters based on other series, "crazified" households, and peculiar characters like an hipster that painted a lot or a teenage scene kid wanting to broke out in the music industry. In TS2 i made families where 2 parents had 2 kids, but the maid\homeworker\live-in worker also had a kid with the dad. And le such. Most of my families are actually quirky households of magical girls and le such, even when i play TS3 with premade characters, i'm playing as the Roomies household, not the Goth's or Bachelors. (I want to start a Blair + Cycl0n3 legacy challenge... not exactly a Dinasty and they will live in Modernehause
http://img1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20101107161919/sims/images/b/bb/Modernehaus.jpg not the lot near Alto and Landgraab... but a regular themed-ish Legacy where almost everything is l33t and stuff. And i also have other ideas for themed legacies... but it all depends of anything...)
Ok, here's many possible names i will use in my neighboorhood most of them atypical families and possibly not even actually human.
So it's mostly fantastic\scifi names. (Or maybe these are the names for the sims of the legacy described above? But would not they be in "3l1t3-sp34k" too?)
First names for guy: Raylon, Boyd, Goopy, Ernand, Xandir, Frazernes, Pizleyn, Andric, Rainer, Noydors, Frion, Zepulon, Roehan, Tuzheiishfal, Krize, Preltan, Planet, Atom, Karlon, Elan, Liamnes, Kavin, Kieven, Niorum, Tarezeus, Janus, Therinizol, Tesla, Fang, Pizz, Buck, Chester, Shieldan, Capris, Spear, Zed, Narkey, Fast, Roynal, Regynald, Kingly, Elf, Ciaran, Notzo, Glarn, Vidcund, Lazlo, Pascal, Wogan, Nogein, Shatner, Kai, Len, Rizzo, Shield, Danovar, Torgo, Shibelum, Porygone, Link, Marshall, Steward, Aliens, Krazed, Chess, Hacky, Zalleyn, Trumpcard, Tornado, Cyclone, Stiles, Zarahad, Trollium, Xemnas, Xigbar, Xaldin, Vexen, Lexaeus, Zexion, Zexal, Saix, Axel, Demyx, Luxord, Marluxia, Roxas.

Matching last names for these: Sword, Wainwright, Curious, Gieke, Kim, other surnames of geeky-ish\scientist Sims families? (obvious) or just pick out a last name out of the same list. Roynal Sparkles-Chloe falls in love with Ireland Faraway Kyara Shibelum-Barbarica? And their kid's called Neiquod Vexen Capris Sparkles-Shibelum Trix? (the name "Trix" might have been gained by doing something important like conquering a corner of space that was named Trix. Or is the name of someone who sacrificed themselves for the baby.)
I usually never have a "regular" family and by regular family i mean... average people that can exist normally in real life and lead a pratically normal life if not being slightly prettier than the average man or woman? Yeah, i have aliens, mad scientists, and these types of households.
Think how Claire Ursine is somehow part bear, Thorton Wolff comes from a werewolf family and may even be a werewolf himself, Cycl0n3 Sw0rd thinks he's in Mass Effect instead of The Sims 3, the Goths are basically Midnight Hollow rejects with a sprinkle of the Addams or Osbournes, the Harts are as crazy as they can be, Agnes is basically almost a witch, and Bella is part of some sort of long line of occultists and mystics.
My Sims characters pull out this "magicness" that already is there, and pull it out on a larger scale. Wonder how a werewolf that is also 12.5%Bear (the kid of Friursine unborn baby and Morgana and Thornton's kid) would fare in existence? Their name would propably be Hybreed or Wolfbear???
(Claire Ursine wears the hat to cover her bear ears, and she propably has a tail too.)
