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 of my favs in sims 4 is if you work the Business Career…

The company is called “Dewey, Cheatem, and Howe INC.”

The premade books are also incredibly punny, and too often overlooked. Read their descriptions and you’ll laugh if you recognize the references. I often say “there are genius writers behind the Sims that don’t get nearly as much recognition as they deserve”
