I've had some pretty funny given names too...Hiji, Ciuk, Kukua, and Lala just to name a few.

In my first game I kept track of the first 70 or so and who they bred with so I could rename the kids with a combo of the parents' names(anal much LOL). It DID make it easier to remember who they all were once I took the time to come up with a name and change their clothes to something I thought suited them.

I like the idea of the tv show characters! How funny...think I'll make my next villagers the characters from Six Feet Under, since all mine seem to end up there anyway...hee hee

My fave name that I came up with is Cheoshi (Master Doctor daughter of Cheop and Nishi)...probly cause she's one of the "prettier" villagers...curly red hair with flowers and the (coordinating, of course...grin) orange, amber, and yellow long dress. I am SO addicted to this game!
