I think we were discussing ages ago, common names across AVNs. Ever since we discussed it, I've been keeping track in my LI guide file. Someone asked on another thread and made me think of it.
So from currently 4146 names (all girls including non LI) - Top 10.
52 - Lily / Lilly / Lilith / Lilianna / Lili / Liliane / Lilian
48 - Sarah / Sara / Saira / Sariah
45 - Jessica / Jess / Jessy / Jessie / Jessa
43 - Isabella / Bella / Isabelle / Belle / Isabel / Izzy / Issy
40 - Elizabeth / Lizzie / Betty / Beth / Libby / Liz / Lisbeth / Lizzy / Elisabeth / Betsy / Lizi
40 - Sophie / Sophia / Sofia / Sofi / Zofia
39 - Kate / Katie / Kaite / Kat / Katty / Kaitlin / Katy / Cateline / Caitlin
38 - Olivia / Liv / Livia / Livvy
35 - Jennifer / Jen / Jenny / Jennie / Jenni / Jenn
34 - Nicole / Nikki / Nichole / Niki / Nicky / Nicki
34 - Julie / Julianna / Julia / Julianne / Juliet / Juliette / Julieta
34 - Victoria / Tori / Vicky / Vicki / Tory / Torrie
33 - Emma / Emmy / Ema
33 - Anna / Annabelle / Annabella / Annalise / Anabelle
Just LIs (2990 names)
40 - Lily / Lilly / Lilith / Lilianna / Lili / Liliane / Lilian
36 - Kate / Katie / Kaite / Kat / Katty / Kaitlin / Katy / Cateline / Caitlin
33 - Isabella / Bella / Isabelle / Belle / Isabel / Izzy / Issy
33 - Jessica / Jess / Jessy / Jessie / Jessa
32 - Elizabeth / Lizzie / Betty / Beth / Libby / Liz / Lisbeth / Lizzy / Elisabeth / Betsy / Lizi
31 - Ashley / Ashe / Ash
31 - Nicole / Nikki / Nichole / Niki / Nicky / Nicki
31 - Sarah / Sara / Saira / Sariah
30 - Olivia / Liv / Livia / Livvy
28 - Jennifer / Jen / Jenny / Jennie / Jenni / Jenn
Nice one
Well, on my main list (all girls) I don’t split them into LIs and others yet. I’ll probably add MG/SG filters next time I reorganize it. I fed my list (2854 names) into GPT, and while I don’t fully agree with some of the groupings it came up with, like, for example, I think Annalise is its own name, while Annabelle / Anabelle / Annabella are just fancy extensions of Anna - overall it’s pretty close to reality now. By the 3rd attempt, results were much better. So, the results for top-20:
41 – Jessica / Jess / Jessie / Jennie / Jenny
37 – Lily / Lilly / Lilian / Liliana / Lilianna / Lilith
34 – Anna / Ann / Ana / Annabelle / Annabella / Annalise / Anastasia / Anya
32 – Elizabeth / Liz / Lizzie / Beth / Betty / Betsy / Elisabeth
29 – Julia / Julianna / Juliana / Juliet / Juliette
27 – Isabella / Isabel / Isabelle / Bella / Belle / Izzy
24 – Katherine / Kate / Katie / Katy / Kathy / Kat / Katrina / Catherine / Cathy
23 – Sarah / Sara
21 – Emily / Emilia / Emmie / Emma
20 – Sophie / Sophia / Sofia
19 – Victoria / Vicky / Tori
18 – Mary / Maria / Marie / Mariah / Mariam
17 – Alexandra / Alex / Alexis / Alexa / Sandra
16 – Rachel / Rachael / Rae
15 – Hannah / Hanna / Anna (counted separately in Anna group if direct variant)
15 – Megan / Meghan
14 – Nicole / Nikki
13 – Amanda / Mandy
13 – Jennifer / Jenna / Jenny (distinct from Jessica cluster)
12 – Chloe / Khloe
Interesting stuff - my Sara count is pretty low, and I think it was the same last time we checked. I guess I just tend to avoid games with Sarahs

. Another thing I noticed: your Sophies are twice mine (40 vs 20), and I’ve got the same number of Annas even though my overall list is 1500 names shorter. What really surprised me, though, is how few Nicoles I have. I always had the impression that name was popular - kind of on the same level as Lily, Anna, and Jess, at least in my head, oh well.
Other clusters:
And GPT grouped Kim together with Kimberly, which I found pretty funny. Kim is a pretty common name in Asia, but it also works as a short form of Kimberly, though we all know which Kim exactly I'm referring to
(fuck you Kim)
At the moment there is only 7 on my hate list - (in no particular order):
You've actually a got couple that are in my favorites (
Heidi & Tara)
Well, in a way, we agree on Stephanie (Heart Problems) - I really couldn’t stand that little blackmailer, Casey (Alienated) and Kim (YC) . You kind of reminded me of Hannah (Above the Clouds), indeed, she is unbearable.
Keyla and Rose are also on my “no way” list. I don’t hate them, I just want to ignore them and move on. And like I mentioned in my previous post (added later), Vanessa and Nami from SG are very close to making the list as well.
Tara - I dunno what it is with me and Tara - something about her look puts me off immediately, there is something artificial in it, face in particular, I guess, and what especially caught me off guard is how many people find her very attractive, I can’t put my finger on it, she just rubs me the wrong way. I don't have any problems with her character though.
Heidi - I joke a lot about her look, and we’ve even discussed LIs based on that model, but I didn’t like her as a character either. First off, she’s a predatory type, which I’m not a huge fan of. And her reaction when I made my relationship with Athena official and exclusive was like, "You stole her from me - I loved her". And my thoughts at the time were: "What the hell, girl? You’ve been fooling around for how long? You had plenty of opportunities to make it exclusive, but you kept it casual. In fact, when MC moved in, you kept teasing him and hitting on him while being in a relationship with Athena. If you really loved her that much - why would you do that?"
Basically, I didn’t like anything about her in a game.
Very, very subtle, Milton
Ana is horrible, you probably really did go for her just to get away from Megan. But I didn't mind Megan, and willingly chose her. Not that I'm such a big fan of her, but I just didn't like any other LI in the game except Hedwig, and Hedwig ended up being just a slutty SG.
The reason I dislike Leah isn't just because she's slutty, but also because she's such a bad friend to Danielle, wasting no time to talk shit about her and to steal her guy the moment D. gets ahead in the race.
I couldn’t care less about either Megan or Melissa, to be honest (or any other girls). The only girl I really played that game for was Rena. And during the "fire scene", I had quite an internal debate, but in the end I went with a girl I met 1st - Megan. So yeah, Melissa didn’t make it on my main playthrough.
I haven't actually played last Dreamland's update, Danielle was my favourite but I've been told she started acting weird and took Alex's side, so I decided to restrain until things become more clear
A LI hatelist is also a curious thing. Mine is probably like this:
1. Quinn (BaDIK)
2. Ana (Acting Lessons)
3. Katrina (No More Money)
4. Zarah (Where the Heart Is)
5. Nina (Elmwood University)
6. Wanda (Where the Heart Is)
7. Zoey (BaDIK)
8. Vanessa (Broken Promises)
9. Leah (Dreamland)
10. Kim (Yesterday's Crossroads)
Basically, I dislike criminals, exes, and criminal exes
Well, we definitely agree on Katrina and Kim.
I'm not a huge fan of Leah, Zoey and Quinn too. Also Wanda is one of my favs in WTHI, very interesting
