I don't know why I didn't think of "Wayne!"  I have an uncle named Wayne, and that seems to be a fairly common "trailer-trash" middle name around here.  (Think "Bubba Wayne," or somesuch, and you've got the idea)

Some names that actually come from people in my family:  Robert (or Bobby) Lee, David Allen, Lisa Marie, Hulda Mae

Other good names:  Tiffany, Stephanie, Lynn (as a first or middle name), Elizabeth (Liz or Lizzy/Lizzie).

Also, anything biblical:  Ezekial (Zeke), Matthew (Matt), Naomi, Joshua (Josh), Ezra, Esther, Amos, Jeremiah, etc.

My Pleasantview family is named "Inbred."  That is to say, all the non-townies in Pleasantview are from this same family (I have the "Closer Family" mod).  Naturally, almost all of them live in trailers, and they all have double-first names.

Examples include:

(Male) Jim Bob, Johnny Ray, Bubba Ray, Joe Bob, Freddy Bob, Bubba Joe, Timmy Bob, Jerry Jeff, Billy James

(Female) Cindy Lou, Mary Lou, Bobbi Sue, Mary Sue, Cindy Sue, Lisa Marie, Mary Jean, Edna Jo, Billie Jo

Southern U.S. celebrities are also a great source of redneck-type names.  For instance, Jerry Jeff (Walker), Stevie Ray (Vaughan), Lisa Marie (Presley), Anna Nicole (Smith), Billy Bob (Thornton).

If you want to get REALLY silly, you could use "Bubba Bo Bob."  ^_~

I never bought H&M, as I couldn't really see the point.  I *had* considered Teen Style, when I bought BV, but only because I wanted the Goth/emo stuff.  But not badly enough to pay $20 for it.  I have plenty of custom goth stuff that I downloaded for free.

I'm sure the "Free Time" EP will have Suck-u-ROM on it, too, but so far it looks like an EP I can live without.

I just got BV today.  I went through my Downloads folder and removed all my hacks, and stupidly started installing BEFORE I came here.  While waiting for the install, I started downloading all the BV-compatible versions of the hacks I use, and stumbled across an article with numerous comments complaining about SecuROM.  So I Googled 'SecuROM "ea games" ' and found a link to this thread (as well as a couple to now-locked BBS threads that complained of the usual Suck-u-ROM ills).

By the time I had found out about all the potential problems Suck-u-ROM can cause, I'd already run BV (without the no-CD patch) to see if it would work on my somewhat outdated PC (which is a different on than the one I use to access the intarwebs).  After reading this thread (and the ones on the BBS), I exited the game, ran Norton AV (no problems there), ran AdAware and Spybot S&D (no problems there), then started up BV again. It seems to be running fine, except that it paused for less than a second, about every five to ten seconds, during the loading screens.   But that could just be because I'm running Sims 2 on a 2 1/2 year old eMachine with a 3 year old NVidia card.

Apparently, I'm one of those lucky people whose system didn't get FUBARed in some way by Suck-u-ROM.  Does this mean I won't get rid of it?

Hell, no.  The fact that it has been installed on my PC without my permission pisses me off.  The fact that Sony has designed it to hide itself and make it difficult to remove makes it even MORE desirable for me to remove it.  I resent Sony and EAxis putting that kind of thing on my PC without even giving me the chance to refuse it.  Sure, I could have not installed BV in the first place, but I didn't know about this embedded software until it was too late.  Now, it's going to go the same way as any other malware that attempts to insinuate itself onto my computer.

And it's going to make me think twice about buying anything else from EA Games.
