I try to follow a theme based on the name I chose for the tribe. Celtic names if I go celtic clan, Redneck theme, Preppy/Upper Crust so to speak. Right now I'm working a Victorian theme along with some short stories and an ongoing narrative.

Nice! That's interesting. You could post your stories on Fan-Fiction!

For the most part I don't change there names however the GC had ticked me off several times and as a result was renamed Dip Stick, seemed appropriate at the time and never changed it back.

LOL, i could think of plenty of names for the GC, well except they arn't family friendly!

Same here I am not fond of the GC!

I like him (not every time ) I rename him often: Angelo or Seraphin

I once belonged to a ladies' group with 20 people in it. In this group there were three Barbaras, one Jill and one Gill (both pronounced the same) and two Sues!

I'm too lazy to change my villagers' names but I might start now though. I'll start looking through my stack of literary classics and see what I can come up with. I might try characters from Shakespeare plays - or operas!

I've had to rename a few because I dress the doctors in "green scrubs" and the Elders in white. It gets confusing when they have the same name and look alike. A couple of times I've renamed some villagers...lets just say a very bad name, like one female who, while there was no food in the bin and she was a farmer, decided to go to the love shack. Yep, I was very angry when I had to constantly scan the grounds for mushrooms. I also renamed the daughter who was, I'm sorry to say, stupid.

LOL Zaratu! I have named a few 'dummy' or 'lazy'.
I dress my doc's in blue and all my elders in white also. I thought they deserved to be recognized for their accomplishments. And it makes it easier to pick out the dr. when someone is ill.

I had 38 villagers and changed 7 of them to family names and 10 of them to my friends names
