Strange obsessions

Sometimes I get strangely obsessed about something that would probably sound odd to most people. 

I've recently been doing a Sims 4 alphabet legacy challenge, which is where you play a household for 26 generations and give the sim for each generation the next letter of the alphabet. I thought you started by naming the founding sim with a name beginning with A, then their child a name beginning with B, then B sims child gets a name starting with C, and so on until the Z child is born/adopted, at which point you complete the challenge. It turns out that I was supposed to start the alphabetical naming with the first child, not the founder, so when child no.26 was adopted I had already used all the letters of the alphabet.

Sorry for the long story, but it's to explain how I got to the latest weird obsession. I decided the final daughter of the legacy challenge and her future partner should have names that included all the letters of the alphabet, and I set about obsessing over trying to find two first names and two surnames that between them have all the letters.

Finally got there yesterday - the names are:

Jacquelyn Kempsworth & Alexander Von Fitzburg

What strange obsessions have you had?

  • I love the names. Kudos for not taking the easy way out and using the conventional "AA", "AB", "AC" approach to extending the naming. Your way is much better.

    I get obsessed by small things all the time. I have to figure out a problem, or learn something new, or arrange something, or find a pattern and I cannot rest until I do. Then I move on and forget all about it. For example, I spent a day researching the penetration depths of armour-piercing shells used by tanks in WW2. It just seemed like it had to be done. Did I remember the details? Not really, no. Did that bother me? One day a few years later it did, so I did the research all over again (I don't keep notes, I like to "live in the moment"). Do I now remember the details? No, they're gone again. It's not really the retention of the facts that I'm after, it's more the process and feeling of discovering them.

  • Thanks for the reply, you've explained it very well!
