Lindens Keira Linden Posted February 21, 2020 Lindens Share Posted February 21, 2020 Thank you to everyone who submitted entries to the Name Changes Contest! We apologize that it took so long to announce the winners - but we had an overwhelming response (over 2400 Residents responded)! It was such a great list of names to go through, that it took just a bit longer than anticipated to whittle it down. So, without further delay, I give you the first 8 (yes, 8. I couldn't narrow it down to just 5!) last names chosen for the list: ConundrumDismantledHuntsmanLittlepawsNovaRavenhurstWumpkinsYeetly The winners have been notified via email, so if you suggested one of those names, be on the lookout for an email from me. 16 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missyrideout Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 Words that end in Nova for all you punsters. Kudos again to the resisdent who suggested Yeetly. More meme related names! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claireschen Hesten Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 Well done to the winners, a little disappointed my suggestions didn't make the cut as I'm sure other non winners will be. However there's a mix of good names and erm not so good names that have been chosen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PrudenceAnton Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 So if you have a certain last name you would like to use and have it changed, are you able to submit that, pay a fee for the change, or are you left with only the selected names submitted and approved by LL to chose from? I ask this, because I know a lot of couples in SL would love to share the same last name as their SL partner (which for many of us are also our RL partner/spouses) 🥰 And congratulations to the winners. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lindal Kidd Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 I'd've picked Wumpkins for you too, Molly, from that list. "Lindal Ravenhurst" sounds nicely Victorian, and would go well with my Caledon persona. But I think I'll just stick with "Kidd". 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bree Giffen Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 Hmmm. Bree Yeetly.... Nah! Littlepaws? No, I'm not a tiny. Maybe Rhonda Huntsman! Or Bumpkin Wumpkins... Keep going.... Congrats to all the winners though. I wish I had entered. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juna Starlight Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 Why not bring back the old last names? There is one i really like :( 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odaks Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 The real fun starts with a good first name. I've come up with:- Cosmic Conundrum Brokan Dismantled Tart Huntsman Thoughtful Littlepaws Bossy Nova The last three are proving harder; so far I have;- Mad Ravenhurst Bumpy Wumpkins Compel Yeetly Any further offers? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be keeping the last name I wanted to change then and holding onto those extra Lindens. I'm paying enough for 3 premium accounts so I'll stay focused on that. 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garnet Psaltery Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 @Keira Linden That's an interesting group of names. I especially like Littlepaws, which should be popular with Tinies. Just a note on the posting though - it appears in Dark Mode as black text on charcoal, which is a bit hard to read. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vanity Fair Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 I submitted 30 name suggestions myself for the contest, and I was disappointed that one of them were chosen. I quite like "Conundrum", thiugh! Here was my list of submissions. I checked and none of them had been used before by LL. (I thought Kerfuffle would be a sure-fire winner!)

So Whimsy Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 I'm almost tempted to get Littlepaws. Ravenhurst and Nova are great, too. Some of the choices are meh but to each their own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bree Giffen Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 Any chance that non-winning name suggestions will show up as last names in the future? I can't imagine they are all now off limits to being used by LL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
