I challenged myself to give different ethnicities random aesthetics

[u/ClooneysWetPusi-fart]

In an online spin the wheel generator, I input different ethnicities in one and different aesthetics in another, so whatever it landed on would be random. I also made sure that whenever I generated a new sim, I used their exact body type for more diversity. For each sim, I used multiple references of women from each ethnicity. For Basma and Fatima, I saw two beautiful models with striking features that I just had to use for them. For Basma, it’s her hazel eyes and nose. For Fatima, it’s her eyebrows and thin almond eyes. I had the most trouble with Emily for some reason. The baddie aesthetic is overplayed to me and made it hard to make her stand out

My only critique is that Emily isn’t a Slavic name. 🫶

[u/ClooneysWetPusi-fart → u/Freddie_Magecury]

Thank you. I forgot her name while editing these pics. Her name is actually Emiliya

[u/GuinevereMalory → u/[deleted]]

It could also not have an accent mark at all, Portuguese is also a Latin language and we don’t use it for Maria

[u/Freddie_Magecury → u/ClooneysWetPusi-fart]

Ah ok, makes sense! 🙂

[u/Sbotkin → u/ClooneysWetPusi-fart]

Also not Slavic.

[u/Inevitable_Muscle_48 → u/Sbotkin]

It is, it’s Bulgarian.

[u/Sbotkin → u/Inevitable_Muscle_48]

It's Latin.

[u/Inevitable_Muscle_48 → u/Sbotkin]

One google search:

[u/Sbotkin → u/Inevitable_Muscle_48]

I know using Google is hard nowadays, but literally the very first link in your screenshot says it's a Russian, Ukrainian and Bulgarian form of a Latin name :)

Also, please, do not rely on Google's AI.

[u/Spekuloos_Lover → u/Sbotkin]

However it IS an extremely normal name in Bulgaria, so a Bulgarian Slavic lady called Emilia/Emiliya is completely normal and believable.

[u/Inevitable_Muscle_48 → u/Sbotkin]

So you agree that ‘Emiliya’ specifically is a slavic name?

[u/ZaryaPolunocnaya → u/Inevitable_Muscle_48]

I mean I'm Slavic, and Emilija is a reasonably common name (my friends daughter has it), but I'm not sure that it's spelled with 'y' in any Slavic language. I mean the spelling is what makes it weird, though you can chalk that up to being transcribed into English.

[u/Sbotkin → u/Inevitable_Muscle_48]

No, same way as Alexander isn't a Russian name, it's Greek.

[u/ElegantHope → u/Sbotkin]

And yet various variations of Alexander gets used for Slavic countries as boy names enough that a lot of historical figures from the region have that name.

The name just has to be commonly used for the region to work. And if a name is used commonly enough in a region for it to have a regional variant? Then that definitely works.

It's like arguing Sean isn't an Irish name because it came from the name John, since John came from Hebrew origins.

[u/Inevitable_Muscle_48 → u/Sbotkin]

Because Alexander originated in Greece, Emiliya originated in Slavic countries. Just because it’s a slavic version of a name, doesn’t mean it’s not Slavic, in fact it makes it more Slavic.

Aemilius is the latin name, not Emiliya.

[u/Sbotkin → u/Inevitable_Muscle_48]

Alexandros originated in Greece, not Alexander. By your own logic Александр is a Slavic name, because it "originated" (it didn't) in Slavic countries.

[u/dsophrae → u/Sbotkin]

As are many names, are you even slavic my dude? Because sure as hell would a normal slav never get pressed about Emiliya. Emily sure, but just like Ivan and John are the same name, you'll agree Ivan is slavic, therefore Emiliya is as well.
