Parapoll!

Hi there!

There are now over 700 patrons backing Paralives? What! How?! I can't believe it! Thanks so much everyone for the overwhelming support!

Here's a little poll regarding the name of the people in Paralives. How would you like them to be called?

Cheers!
Alex

Parafolks is such a cute name for them, I love all the uses we can get out of "para". Most people will probably call them Paras for short but I think it'd be cute to have the official name be Parafolks

Scrungler, The

Parafolk/Parafolks for other people and a Paracter for the playable one?

I didn't vote on any of those name choices. I'd like to throw 'Paras' in the mix since that is what I believe most people will end up calling them anyway since it is human nature to use for short refrences.

Hey the AMA is above if you didn't get your question asked! I'm curious about this as well...

Hi Alex. First off I would like to say thank you, for creating what I am sure would be the greatest simulation game yet for all of the gamers. Now my question to you, is when you make the cars drivable will the babies be able to ride as well? I know cars were confirmed already but not who would be able to get in them.

Parapals sounds awesome!

literary_warrior

I really love either Parapals or Parafolks ๐Ÿ’•

Nolan-Sims

Iโ€™ve always disliked the word Folks so Iโ€™m leaning towards Peeps but then again those are the Easter marshmallows

Barb Pappalardo

So fun to see my maiden name Seidel here!! Did you know it is a German word for a large glass for wheat beer? Sorry to be off topic ๐Ÿ˜„

Barb Pappalardo

I like โ€œparasโ€ as some others have suggested!

I like Paralings and Parapeeps way more than parafolks, I hate "parafolks"

Crystal Diamond

"Paralings"

I like โ€œParasโ€ lol

parafolks seems cool

How about paras

I voted for Parafolks, but I think it sounds better without the s, so just Parafolk. It sounds really cool!

Maybe Parafolk without the s?

I like parafolks and parapals

Stephanie Cutler

When will you be done just a estimate?

I think parapals should be what you call pets.

Parafolx or Parafolks

I love the way Parapals sounds!

greeneyedsims

I think there should be a re-vote with Para/s and Pally/Pallies

I think Pally or pallies would be great. It's kind of like pal but much cuter and more creative.

I like the idea of them being Paras or like Marilyn said Paraisms

I like "Paras" and their characteristics can be called "Paraisms"

Iโ€™d love Para as the name!

what about Parasons? a play on persons :)

Par. Pars.

Pallies. One pally, two pallies.

Paras~

Parapals has nice alliteration and looks right to me. Peeps is my lowest vote because of the sugary treat.

Ann Reinke

parafolks sounds cute!

no matter what i will always call the parafolks pears <3

fateeeee

Paras sounds cute. But the short one-syllable name reminds me too much of just calling the people in Sims Sims.

Paratrooper??๐Ÿ™ˆ

I like just "Para" or "Para's" suggested by Brandyn

I think parafolk could be the word for the general people, and a para could be a singular person :)? I just really enjoy the word folk in general, but it's definitely more plural-sounding

I like parafolk but also like. Para and para's. as it sounds better as a plural and singular word. :)

Parafolks just sounds right to me.

Paras would be cute too

Parafolks and folks are my picks

Parapals is adorable

I think maybe we should revote with Paras as an option since so many people seem to like it :)

cubicpoison

I would vote Paras too!

I like Paras!! Para for singular

I really like Parafolks

What about just โ€œParasโ€?

Hestia

Paras sounds really good to me!

I asked my boyfriend this and his suggestion was Parasites ๐Ÿ˜‚

Lisbeth Kirkhorn Melsรฅsen

I voted for Parafolk, but Iโ€™m loving the sound of Paras even more!

Paras! Short and sweet!

Paras is my vote

Hej! I voted for "peeps", but I also think that "Paras" is great!

I like Paras since it sounds better! Congrats on over 700 paterons!

Nida Kamran

Livs?

Just Paras!

I guess Pariahs sounds really bad

Cathe B- The B is for BIG Art Geek

I agree! Paras sounds great for this instead!

I definitely agree just โ€œparaโ€ or โ€œparasโ€ sounds the best!

I voted for 'Peeps' but I gotta say "Paras" has a much smoother sound to it.

I like "Paras" too

Brittany Eastep

I like just โ€œParasโ€ :)

Tony

Parapals and Pals sound weird in Portuguese. "My Pals" sounds like a rude version of "My Penis".

I love parafolks or like many people are saying โ€œparasโ€.

I voted for โ€œparapeopleโ€, but I as many others prefer just simply โ€œParaโ€ for short.

kingchris20

I think paras or pars (plural)/ par (singular)

This is the game everyone wants but never been built. Everyone is looking forward to this amazing game!

Sasha Pugliese

I agree with the people saying "para;" it's so easy to say and can easily be singular or plural, where as parafolk is always plural. I do really love "parafolk" as well so maybe that could be their plural/'full' name? Like human vs. humanity. Para vs. parafolk.

canaggable

I voted for Parapeeps but prefer Paras to all of these.

Slippers

I like "Lels". (From parallel)

"My Para just had his wedding" "Here's my Parafam" "The Paras next door are annoying"

Jojo6716

I love Parafolk... but what about just "Paras?" ... Paras sounds really fluid in sentences I've practiced with... Thanking Wed on discord for the idea!

Jojo6716

That would seem like more of a name for players

Alkisim

Parafolk seems to clunky to say out loud, IMO

That's why I had the idea to have 2 names (see above) :D

Kinda disappointed that paralivers didn't make the list (just rolls off the title for me), but at least the votes aren't too scattered.

eve

I love how inclusive "Folks" sounds, but I wonder how players are going to use it for a single character.

Parafolk is amazing!

Simday1

It's because you're awesome, and your game is fabulous. We love you! ๐Ÿ˜โ™ฅ๏ธ

Eleanor Mosley

In all honesty, I would be really happy with them just being called Paras. (One Para, many Paras)

Im stuck between Parapals and Parafolks, as long as it has para in the name then ill be happy

Mark Coughlan

Yesss! Parafolks for the whole of the people and parapals for friends/individuals!

Lotus Jayne

This is awesome! My concern with Parapals/Pals is that it isn't as neutral of a noun for the characters. If one character is doing something unfriendly (being mean/teasing another character), it feels a little strange to call them a Pal of any kind, especially if you're trying to build a dramatic story with villains etc. The Peeps/Parapeeps feels a little too informal - some characters may have very Type A personality tendencies and to call them a Peep of any sort feels weird too. I hope this all makes sense, and thank you again!

I really like parafoks. Paras for short!

Andrea Digney

Omggg, I'm so torn! I love parapeeps/pals and parafolks, and I think Flo is really onto something with being able to use two names!

astronuggie

If we have a universal language like simlish it will be easier to have a distinct language across all characters in the game, it will be interesting to know what dialogue's you will create :)

h2o Queen

Im really partial to both parafolks and parapals!

You are the cutest creator ever ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜ itโ€˜s so nice to see how much you care about the community and how excited you are about the support!

I would like it to be spoken out easily. And maybe two different names? 1 for the group (parafolks for example) and 1 for 1 person apart (parapal or para for example) ?โ˜บ๏ธ

#ParaPals

Isabella Weekes

I love parafolks! Thatโ€™s so fun. Theyโ€™re all great options, however I do think they should definitely have para in the word.

Emily

Continue making us proud! Much love!!
