the only names i change are twins because they confuse me.

i like re-naming them..like the kid i found in a crate i called Krate..and his son's box, tupper, and weare :P a guy called kate and a girl called bob (bit of a black adder ref there)
a guy and girl called ed ( a bit of an anime ref there :P )

and yeah i like naming people, some just seem to suit, like seven! i may have done that ...i dont remember...its my fave number anyway :P

twins Won and Too....and then their sister who wa sthe same except blond..free....wow....how lame..i can go on about the names of my VV...>,<

I only rename duplicate names, and individuals named Seven.

I always name my first group with "A" names, my oldest male is Adam, the female is Ava, and on like that. Then the babies are given "B" names, then "C" and on like that, as far as I can keep up with them!

I take the first letter of the name they came with and rename them for someone I know or a common name I like... for example City could become Cyndi or Chelsea, and Mahalo is now Michael. Occasionally I'll leave their names alone for a generation just to make it easier at a glance to delineate ages, but most generally I change them.

I finished VV1 and actually enjoyed seeing the names that are generaated by the game. They're kind of exotic and fit well with the game!

When VV2 for Mac will be available, I probably will tag a few chosen/key villagers so that I can recognize them easier when I select them, but I'm always curious to see what the name of the next baby will be!

if i get a wommen named vava i always change it to vava voom
i just got a little girl named papa, i was thinling of keeping it ???

I do change their names, I usually keep their first few letters...it depends on the name and if I like it. I guess I am more of a traditionalist.

i do that sometimes too

when i get tired of their names I get on a baby name site and rename the villagers trying to preserve at certain features, sometimes the first letter, sometimes the first two

if i want a channge, the first and last, lol

I give them a first name that's short, and a last name based on their parents. So Brad and Cassie might have Tina BraCas - helps keep track of the family tree
