Hey, could some of you help me think of some Scottish Names for my Sims? ALL of them are Scottish and I'm running out of ideas. There is no way that I'm going to pick a different country. FYI a first and last name if you can please. Thanks!
Posted By: macnerd10 Re: Names for Sims... - 08/19/09 07:31 AM
Duncan MacLeod for one... Steve J. MacIntosh for the other. grin

You name your Subscriber Identity Modules? Or are they your single in-line memory modules? shocked And how do you know they're Scottish? I thought most tiny electronics came from the Far East. confused

WOW! I thought I was crackers, naming birds and insects and other things I don't care to divulge, but you PChat, are my hero!

Forgive my ignorance/obliviousness, but what or who are "Sims"? (The only time I've ever head of such is in "simulation", eg SIMØNE.)
And why would they have to be named (as opposed to numbered or some other ID procedure)?

She's referring to the popular game The Sims

Actually It's the Sims 2. And grelber, WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN!? laugh
Posted By: grelber Re: Names for Sims... - 08/19/09 07:21 PM
MacIntosh/McIntosh/Mcintosh isn't Scottish?! You bet your haggis, it is!

One only need think of Charles Macintosh, who invented a waterproof fabric and after whom the raincoats are named.

As for computer games: Not my gig. About the only game I play (beyond card games) is Scrabble, including Super Scrabble.

And because it might be easier for you to pick them.

First names (men and women)

And the list of surnames and clans.

Did you look at the picture? I'll tell you if you still can't figure it out. He's on the far right and he's holding an iPhone.

WHAT!? I thought that the Manson family was its own Clan, but it says Gunn...

Me in the third video...
"That's not what I want!"
"STOP IT GAME!"
"NO! I want the GARBAGE bedcover!"
"Here it is! Finally."
Yes, I have a Garbage bedcover... grin
Posted By: donikatz Re: Names for Sims... - 08/20/09 12:01 AM
Careful, the "Manson Family" usually refers to something very different ...

I figured it out the third person from your iPhone reference. See, there ARE Scottish Stevens! wink
Posted By: PChaterosx Re: Names for Sims... - 08/20/09 12:09 AM
No, he was born in California... Doni, (or anyone else) what's his name? smile
Posted By: PChaterosx Re: Names for Sims... - 08/20/09 12:10 AM
NO DONI!! you know who I'm talking about!!
Posted By: donikatz Re: Names for Sims... - 08/20/09 01:49 AM
Well, if you're not referring to Steve from San Francisco, I give up...
Posted By: macnerd10 Re: Names for Sims... - 08/20/09 05:54 AM
He certainly looks like The Steve.
Posted By: artie505 Re: Names for Sims... - 08/20/09 08:04 AM
I'm surprised nobody's suggested either (the legendary) Duncan MacYoYo or (our very own) Modman MacManiac! grin
Posted By: PChaterosx Re: Names for Sims... - 08/20/09 07:09 PM
YES!! You're right! I tried to make him as close as I could...
Posted By: PChaterosx Re: Names for Sims... - 08/20/09 07:23 PM
Artie, That's not Scottish.

> Artie, That's not Scottish.

Not true!

The MacYoYos are an ancient clan (which was founded by Duncan MacYoYo), legendary for having defeated all of their enemies without ever having resorted to either weapons or bloodshed...

The first rank of MacYoYo troops mesmerized their foes with YoYo tricks;

the second rank took advantage of their foes' debilitated mental state by rousing them out of it with the terrifying skirl of the pipes, sending them into an abrupt, disorderly retreat;

and those who didn't turn-tail and run were beaten into submission by the third rank which violently assaulted them with driven golf balls. (The stragglers, all of whom were, presumably, blind and deaf, could neither see the golf balls coming nor hear the MacYoYos shouting "Fore!" and were, so-to-speak, cannon-fodder.)

The MacYoYos have kept a low profile in recent years, the only internationally known member of the clan being world-famous cellist YoYo Ma(c), who modified his name to a less type-casting, more suggestive of a player of a refined musical instrument, one after one gushing fan too many insisted on being regaled with "a tune on the pipes, please." He has, needless to say, been both castigated by the Clan's elders and forbidden to ever again wear the famous MacYoYo tartan (with its distinctive alternating plaid YoYos and golf balls).

Modman MacManiac, on the other hand, is not necessarily, but may very well be, of Scottish extraction.

WOO! I just made my own Tartan! I call it the Garbage Tartan...

Wikipedia said yoyo ma is chinese, and born in France! confused Can you explain that, Artie?

Yo-Yo Ma was born in Paris to Chinese parents and had a musical upbringing. His mother, Marina Lu, was a singer, and his father, Hiao-Tsiun Ma, was a professor of music. His family moved to New York when he was four years old.

He is now officially a Chinese-American.

Wikipedia has been known to be less than authoritative; for important research, such as this, I rely on "Peabody's."

Have you researched your Tartan to ensure that you're not stepping on somebody's something or other?

From Peabody's:

Quote:
The 91 four-and-a-half-minute episodes always ended with atrocious puns.

And if you think coming up with a punch-line for that joke is easy (I've been working on it for 3 days, now.) you've got another guess coming.

Same way I was!
