This is my first game of VV LC. I wanted to try something different so I'm numbering them according to age. I wanted to see how many people I actually go through in an entire game. I have noticed a few villagers are hard to tell what sex they are as infants so I'm doing like 1F, 2M,3M,4F etc.

I don't. I just let the computer do it when ever it feels like it. hehehe Sorry, I could not help myself. :P

I name mine numbers so i can keep track....you know, One, Two, Three, etc...

I might if I knew how....and are you doing this in VV?

in the details screen, click on their name, backspace and retype

Hi,
I always start out with my families names. I'll admit it's a little heartbreaking to see the tombstones of the people you love!!!
Then I move on to friends and people I work with, so on and so on, but once I finish the game and have the village managing pretty much on their own, I start keeping the original names.

I name mine after family members that the villagers look like. My daughter and I always laugh when I say your Daddy is relaxing again!

I always rename my villagers to keep track of their generation. The first villagers that I start with get "A" names.. then "B" names.. so on and so forth. The furthest I've gotten along the alphabet so far is "N"!

I know.. I have issues. lol

I noticed I had 3 females with the same name and they weren't even related so I started naming all my villagers after Roman Gods (Major, Minor, Adopted, then Imperial), and if I ever run out of names I might start on Greek Gods.

By the way I named all the ferrets I've ever had in a similar alphabetical fashion.
