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?

Parents
  • I don’t play computer games, apart from Sudoku, Wordle and occasionally chess, but I understand your compulsion to complete all the letters of the alphabet within the names.

    I might have the numeral version of your games obsession as I have spent my lifetime engaged in mental counting and mental arithmetic. The predictability of numbers makes it extremely satisfying, yet higher level mathematics has eluded me.

  • I like numbers as well as letters, and my mind is drawn to patterns. It's probably why I spent many years of my working life in accounting roles, despite - like you - not being good at higher level mathematics. I love a spreadsheet, but I also like word games such as Scrabble and I'm also a qualified teacher of English as a second language.
