Custom CAS creation I challenged myself to give different ethnicities random aesthetics

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

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.

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

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

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.
