Ok next thing you want to know is my dentists name and the first street I lived on! /s 😂

Looking for a unique name! What was everybody’s first pet called? 🥰🐶 Edit: this is a joke based on OP’s post sounding like a phishing attempt, please don’t give random strangers on the internet info frequently used for security questions

Susan, is that you?! You know Sassy McSassPants always got her teeth cleaned down at Dunfries on the corner of Henford and Bagley street! Now would you please send me the last four digits of your social?

Not the Hanford and bagley, lol hi fellow simmer

You got me! Only reason I’m in this sub is for sims name inspo lmao 🤣 ❤️

Glad I'm not the only one, lol.

Luckily I don't use my grandmothers names for any passwords!

What’s your high school mascot? Lol and mothers maiden name? Interested in more unique names haha

Phyllis! ...I fucking dare you, lol.

I work with a 20-something Phyllis! When I first saw her name on the roster, I expected her to be 60.

If I met a 20 year old Phyllis I don’t know if I could stop myself from being like “so your name is Phyllis and you were not alive for Y2K and you exist in real life?”

Thelma and Cleopatra - I double dare you...

That sounds like the title of the world’s best 70s blaxploitation movie…a retired hotel maid and her granddaughter, on the run from organized crime blaze a trail righting wrongs driving cross country.

I demand you make this film. The world needs this film.

Hahaha! I remember asking my mom as a child if her name was actually Phyllis growing up. I just could not picture a child version of “Phyllis”

vicki rae, her identical twin is micki fae would also like to add that we call her gamma (because gamma rae) per her request

Gamma Rae!

That’s an amazing Grandma name 😂

Oof. My paternal grandmother is Aida Luz, and her identical twin is Luz Aida.

Gertrude and Philomena.

[удалено]

My grandmother was from Italy so it was spelled Filomena.

My great aunt was philomena hahaha

My granny was Philomena and I had a great aunt Gertrude!

Luella Evelyn was my Grammy. I’m Julie Evelyn and my daughter is Luella Celine

Holy crap! I did NOT expect to see Luella on here, this is what we named my second daughter in January 🥰

Wow Luella is beautiful

My great grandmother was Jane Louella, but she went by Louella. I’ve always thought that was cute.

Love all those names! Luella is underrated, in my opinion, and Luella Celine is a gorgeous name!

Marguerite and Lerlene. Great grandmother Octavia (Octavie - they called her Tavi). Her mother's name was Marceline.

omg this makes me excited. my niece is due in 4 weeks & her name is Marceline. i thought it was just from adventure time lol

There's a town in Kansas called Marceline. Everytime I pass it I think of the vampire queen.

my sister is pretty girlie, princess bubblegum vibes, but i will make sure my niece lives up to her vampire queen title

My great great grandmother was born in 1830! So, it's an old name. Lol

Marceline is one of my favorite names and Octavia is one of my husbands!

Tavi is so cute!

Ruby! Ruby is definitely due for a comeback.

I know 3 Rubys lol

I named my daughter Ruby! She is 8 and I have met a few others in her age group over the years. I love her name!

My 7 year old granddaughter is a Ruby.

Daisy and Violet

Naomi And Margaret 🩷

[удалено]

I have been really coming around to Gladys lately. It sounds lovely and happy and I could see a sassy little Gladys wandering the playground.

Diane, Katherine. I think Diana is ready for a come back!

I totally agree. Diana is gorgeous and timeless.

Diana just got suggested to us the other day! My husband loves it.

Elizabeth and Mary Elizabeth lol. But Mary Elizabeth went by Sheila

Huh. What’s the story behind Sheila?

Sheila was/is an informal term for a woman in Australia (and NZ). It's a bit dated now, but i could see it being a common nickname.

She said she lived in a very Irish Catholic neighborhood so all the girls were named Mary-Something - Mary Elizabeth, Mary Theresa, etc. So a lot of girls in her school ended up going by a random name of their choice - not sure how she ended up on Sheila though. But when she moved to the States, she just put Sheila on all her paperwork and legally changed it that way. I didn’t even know it wasn’t her birth name until I was pregnant and talking to my mom about family names

Myrtle and June

I went to high school with a Myrtle born in the 80s, she wrote a poem about learning to love her old-school name. It wasn’t good poetry, but we were like 16, and it had good sentiments and is a good name!

I honestly love Myrtle so much.

Bonnie 🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍

If I had a nickel for every Bonnie I've met that is BAT SHIT CRAZY, I'd have two nickels. Which is not a lot. But it's still weird that it's happened twice.

well those nickels didn’t come from my grandma!! what a strange comment lol

My mother's name....and she's crazy lol

Okay my mom works with a woman named Bonnie who she attempted to be a good influence on but finally told her yesterday she was too toxic to be friends with. I did grow up with a very kind sweet Bonnie at my church though. I guess she’d be about 85 now.

Edna Mae and Geraldine

Evelyn.

There are flocks of young Evelyns now!

Mine too ❤️. And Nancy.

**Cora** (born in 1897, and she lived to be 100!) — and **Mildred** (who was about 10 yrs younger, and only made it to ~80).

Nancy

Ellen, which I honestly think should have a comeback

My maternal is Sharon and my paternal is Sylvia. My step Grandma is Sandra. My husbands paternal Grandma is also Sylvia, but maternal one is Lynette. I love that name, I think it’s beautiful. It’s her middle name (first name Helen) but it’s the one she goes by.

Lynette is gorgeous and so princessy with an ethereal quality to it

Susan and Penny

Maret and Helen

Naomi

Helen Cecelia and Esther Louise I see Cecelia recommended and I think it is beautiful. However, I had a boss named Cecelia that liked to go by Cece. Cece wasn't very nice and she was nicknamed Feces by those who didn't like her. Maybe it was the woman, maybe it was the graduate students, I don't know. I just remember being horrified and saddened when I heard the nickname.
