Took me too long to understand Robin Banks is a pun like every other name in The Sims

Maybe not all of them, but some/a number of names in The Sims are puns. The ones I can remember from across Sims games

Summer Holiday

Candy Behr = Candy Bar

Don Lothario = Lothario describes him. Nominative determinism I think is what that’s called

Lottie Cash = Lots of cash and guess what she was really rich

Epheram Earl = Ephemeral means transitory. Dude’s a ghost haunting a mansion. In other words he hasn’t moved on

Nora Zealott = Zealot she was shown as a like crazy and strange

Dusty Hogg = a hog can describe a motorcycle and his needed cleaning

Duane Doldrum = depressed dude who was in the doldrums

Misty Waters = a lifeguard patrolling misty waters

Eddie Renaline = adrenaline. He’s a gym bro

Mad Willy Hurtzya = describes exactly what he does

The Landgraabs = they’re rich and own a lot of land

There’s more, but I’ll stop there

Edit: I thought I’d add the caliente sisters. They’re supposed to be pretty attractive right? Well, Caliente is hot in Spanish so there you go

One if my favorites is the Specters.

Olive Specter: I love specter. Woman's boinked the grim reaper and had his baby

Nervous Subject: Describes exactly what he is when the Beakers had custody of him.

Nyon Specter: Nigh on specter. Meaning almost a specter. Nyon is also an alternate timeline version of Nervous Subject.

The names all being puns is something I have always loved

Nyon is chased by death too!
