Parapoll!
Added 2019-07-19 13:26:26 +0000 UTCHi 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

2020-08-19 12:00:13 +0000 UTCParafolk/Parafolks for other people and a Paracter for the playable one?
2019-09-25 15:43:12 +0000 UTCI 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.

2019-08-25 04:30:21 +0000 UTCHey the AMA is above if you didn't get your question asked! I'm curious about this as well...
2019-08-02 14:50:12 +0000 UTCHi 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.

2019-08-02 14:03:57 +0000 UTCParapals sounds awesome!

2019-08-01 21:50:42 +0000 UTCI really love either Parapals or Parafolks ๐

2019-07-26 19:43:18 +0000 UTCIโve always disliked the word Folks so Iโm leaning towards Peeps but then again those are the Easter marshmallows

2019-07-26 13:53:53 +0000 UTCSo 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 ๐
Barb Pappalardo
2019-07-26 13:52:43 +0000 UTCI like โparasโ as some others have suggested!
2019-07-26 03:36:59 +0000 UTCI like Paralings and Parapeeps way more than parafolks, I hate "parafolks"
Crystal Diamond
2019-07-26 00:30:44 +0000 UTC"Paralings"
2019-07-25 21:49:33 +0000 UTCI like โParasโ lol
2019-07-24 06:44:16 +0000 UTCparafolks seems cool
2019-07-23 11:21:47 +0000 UTCHow about paras
2019-07-22 15:12:05 +0000 UTCI voted for Parafolks, but I think it sounds better without the s, so just Parafolk. It sounds really cool!
2019-07-22 11:24:18 +0000 UTCMaybe Parafolk without the s?
2019-07-22 04:21:56 +0000 UTCI like parafolks and parapals

2019-07-22 01:26:06 +0000 UTCWhen will you be done just a estimate?
2019-07-22 00:45:23 +0000 UTCI think parapals should be what you call pets.
2019-07-21 17:41:55 +0000 UTCParafolx or Parafolks
2019-07-21 02:29:20 +0000 UTCI love the way Parapals sounds!
greeneyedsims
2019-07-20 22:14:14 +0000 UTCI think there should be a re-vote with Para/s and Pally/Pallies
2019-07-20 21:31:54 +0000 UTCI think Pally or pallies would be great. It's kind of like pal but much cuter and more creative.
2019-07-20 21:30:37 +0000 UTCI like the idea of them being Paras or like Marilyn said Paraisms
2019-07-20 19:30:16 +0000 UTCI like "Paras" and their characteristics can be called "Paraisms"
2019-07-20 18:31:21 +0000 UTCIโd love Para as the name!
2019-07-20 11:45:09 +0000 UTCwhat about Parasons? a play on persons :)
2019-07-20 10:16:31 +0000 UTCPar. Pars.
2019-07-20 06:32:16 +0000 UTCPallies. One pally, two pallies.
2019-07-20 06:19:26 +0000 UTCParas~
2019-07-20 04:31:38 +0000 UTCParapals has nice alliteration and looks right to me. Peeps is my lowest vote because of the sugary treat.
Ann Reinke
2019-07-20 04:31:16 +0000 UTCparafolks sounds cute!
2019-07-20 02:26:32 +0000 UTCno matter what i will always call the parafolks pears <3
fateeeee
2019-07-20 02:08:02 +0000 UTCParas sounds cute. But the short one-syllable name reminds me too much of just calling the people in Sims Sims.
2019-07-20 01:16:19 +0000 UTCParatrooper??๐
sonnavy
2019-07-20 00:26:05 +0000 UTCI like just "Para" or "Para's" suggested by Brandyn
2019-07-19 23:54:36 +0000 UTCI 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
2019-07-19 23:40:59 +0000 UTCI like parafolk but also like. Para and para's. as it sounds better as a plural and singular word. :)
2019-07-19 23:24:09 +0000 UTCParafolks just sounds right to me.
2019-07-19 21:51:02 +0000 UTCParas would be cute too
2019-07-19 21:41:45 +0000 UTCParafolks and folks are my picks
2019-07-19 21:33:30 +0000 UTCParapals is adorable
2019-07-19 21:20:48 +0000 UTCI think maybe we should revote with Paras as an option since so many people seem to like it :)
cubicpoison
2019-07-19 21:18:47 +0000 UTCI would vote Paras too!
2019-07-19 21:12:44 +0000 UTCI like Paras!! Para for singular
2019-07-19 20:32:09 +0000 UTCI really like Parafolks
2019-07-19 19:54:43 +0000 UTCWhat about just โParasโ?
Hestia
2019-07-19 19:48:38 +0000 UTCParas sounds really good to me!
2019-07-19 19:24:30 +0000 UTCI asked my boyfriend this and his suggestion was Parasites ๐
Lisbeth Kirkhorn Melsรฅsen
2019-07-19 19:20:17 +0000 UTCI voted for Parafolk, but Iโm loving the sound of Paras even more!
2019-07-19 19:16:37 +0000 UTCParas! Short and sweet!
2019-07-19 19:10:06 +0000 UTCParas is my vote
2019-07-19 19:10:05 +0000 UTCHej! I voted for "peeps", but I also think that "Paras" is great!
2019-07-19 18:56:57 +0000 UTCI like Paras since it sounds better! Congrats on over 700 paterons!
Nida Kamran
2019-07-19 18:34:47 +0000 UTCLivs?
2019-07-19 18:29:40 +0000 UTCJust Paras!
2019-07-19 18:28:57 +0000 UTCI guess Pariahs sounds really bad
Cathe B- The B is for BIG Art Geek
2019-07-19 18:12:14 +0000 UTCI agree! Paras sounds great for this instead!
2019-07-19 17:35:24 +0000 UTCI definitely agree just โparaโ or โparasโ sounds the best!
2019-07-19 17:30:14 +0000 UTCI voted for 'Peeps' but I gotta say "Paras" has a much smoother sound to it.
2019-07-19 17:17:25 +0000 UTCI like "Paras" too
Brittany Eastep
2019-07-19 16:50:21 +0000 UTCI like just โParasโ :)
Tony
2019-07-19 15:50:19 +0000 UTCParapals and Pals sound weird in Portuguese. "My Pals" sounds like a rude version of "My Penis".
2019-07-19 15:39:40 +0000 UTCI love parafolks or like many people are saying โparasโ.
2019-07-19 15:33:25 +0000 UTCI voted for โparapeopleโ, but I as many others prefer just simply โParaโ for short.
kingchris20
2019-07-19 15:25:39 +0000 UTCI think paras or pars (plural)/ par (singular)
2019-07-19 15:22:50 +0000 UTCThis is the game everyone wants but never been built. Everyone is looking forward to this amazing game!
Sasha Pugliese
2019-07-19 15:11:31 +0000 UTCI 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
2019-07-19 15:01:17 +0000 UTCI voted for Parapeeps but prefer Paras to all of these.
Slippers
2019-07-19 14:52:03 +0000 UTCI like "Lels". (From parallel)
2019-07-19 14:40:20 +0000 UTC"My Para just had his wedding" "Here's my Parafam" "The Paras next door are annoying"
Jojo6716
2019-07-19 14:39:39 +0000 UTCI 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
2019-07-19 14:37:22 +0000 UTCThat would seem like more of a name for players
Alkisim
2019-07-19 14:37:03 +0000 UTCParafolk seems to clunky to say out loud, IMO
2019-07-19 14:23:36 +0000 UTCThat's why I had the idea to have 2 names (see above) :D
2019-07-19 14:13:59 +0000 UTCKinda 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
2019-07-19 14:11:38 +0000 UTCI love how inclusive "Folks" sounds, but I wonder how players are going to use it for a single character.
2019-07-19 14:07:25 +0000 UTCParafolk is amazing!
Simday1
2019-07-19 14:02:29 +0000 UTCIt's because you're awesome, and your game is fabulous. We love you! ๐โฅ๏ธ
Eleanor Mosley
2019-07-19 13:55:47 +0000 UTCIn all honesty, I would be really happy with them just being called Paras. (One Para, many Paras)
2019-07-19 13:55:08 +0000 UTCIm stuck between Parapals and Parafolks, as long as it has para in the name then ill be happy
Mark Coughlan
2019-07-19 13:53:30 +0000 UTCYesss! Parafolks for the whole of the people and parapals for friends/individuals!
Lotus Jayne
2019-07-19 13:47:07 +0000 UTCThis 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!
2019-07-19 13:46:55 +0000 UTCI really like parafoks. Paras for short!
Andrea Digney
2019-07-19 13:45:29 +0000 UTCOmggg, 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
2019-07-19 13:39:45 +0000 UTCIf 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
2019-07-19 13:39:04 +0000 UTCIm really partial to both parafolks and parapals!
2019-07-19 13:37:45 +0000 UTCYou are the cutest creator ever ๐๐ itโs so nice to see how much you care about the community and how excited you are about the support!
2019-07-19 13:29:46 +0000 UTCI 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) ?โบ๏ธ

Isabella Weekes
2019-07-19 13:28:20 +0000 UTCI love parafolks! Thatโs so fun. Theyโre all great options, however I do think they should definitely have para in the word.
