There are so many unique, rare names on there that people are just. If you look at the names townies can generate with, it's actually insane. Instead, they used their own names, and it's just proof of how diverse the developer team was. The developers could have left in your average American names and left it at that. What I love about The Sims 2 is how diverse the names that townies generate with are. As a South-East Asian, it's quite infuriating to see people make fun of names like 'Pong' because they can't be bothered to at least Google the name's meaning. Not everyone who plays this game is from the West. So either you are being grossly ignorant, or you just cannot believe that Asians exist out there.Īs a South-East Asian, I am tired of this whole ‘not-white, not real' logic exercised in this community. Uh, no? 'Ng' is a very common surname for Chinese people- not just in Asia, but in the West too. I am tired of going on Reddit or Discord or whatever and seeing people making fun of names like 'Ng' and suggesting that the developers were lazy to put that in the name generator. Just because they're Asian names, or non-white names, or 'spelt weirdly', doesn't mean that they're 'fake' or whatever or 'weird'.

In fact, they are taken from the developers' names. They're not made-up names just because they don't fit your image of a Western suburbia. The same goes for almost every first and last name in The Sims 2's name generator.

Ng/ Huang (黄）- 'yellow', to 'fall through'.Abhijeet - 'victorious' or 'conqueror' in Sanskrit.Yes, there are millions of people out there with Ng or Wong as a last name. Yes, Abhijeet is a real name-and quite a famous one. But I've just gotten tired of trying to be patient. Or really, just about anyone who does the stuff this post mentions.įor the last few years I've just kinda bottled this rant inside of me.
