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
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.
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.
Hey the AMA is above if you didn't get your question asked! I'm curious about this as well...
Parapals sounds awesome!
I really love either Parapals or Parafolks 💕
I’ve always disliked the word Folks so I’m leaning towards Peeps but then again those are the Easter marshmallows
I like “paras” as some others have suggested!
I like Paralings and Parapeeps way more than parafolks, I hate "parafolks"
"Paralings"
I like “Paras” 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!
I like parafolks and parapals
When will you be done just a estimate?
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 😄
I think parapals should be what you call pets.
Parafolx or Parafolks
I love the way Parapals sounds!
I think there should be a re-vote with Para/s and Pally/Pallies
I like the idea of them being Paras or like Marilyn said Paraisms
I like "Paras" and their characteristics can be called "Paraisms"
I’d love Para as the name!
what about Parasons? a play on persons :)
Par. Pars.
Pallies. One pally, two pallies.
I think Pally or pallies would be great. It's kind of like pal but much cuter and more creative.
Paras~
Parapals has nice alliteration and looks right to me. Peeps is my lowest vote because of the sugary treat.
parafolks sounds cute!
no matter what i will always call the parafolks pears <3
Paras sounds cute. But the short one-syllable name reminds me too much of just calling the people in Sims Sims.
Paratrooper??🙈
I like just "Para" or "Para's" suggested by Brandyn
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 :)
I would vote Paras too!
I like Paras!! Para for singular
I really like Parafolks
What about just “Paras”?
Paras sounds really good to me!
I asked my boyfriend this and his suggestion was Parasites 😂
I voted for Parafolk, but I’m loving the sound of Paras even more!
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!
Livs?
Just Paras!
I agree! Paras sounds great for this instead!
I definitely agree just “para” or “paras” sounds the best!
I voted for 'Peeps' but I gotta say "Paras" has a much smoother sound to it.
I like just “Paras” :)
I like "Paras" too
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 “paras”.
I voted for “parapeople”, but I as many others prefer just simply “Para” for short.
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!
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.
I voted for Parapeeps but prefer Paras to all of these.
I like "Lels". (From parallel)
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!
"My Para just had his wedding" "Here's my Parafam" "The Paras next door are annoying"
Parafolk seems to clunky to say out loud, IMO
I love how inclusive "Folks" sounds, but I wonder how players are going to use it for a single character.
That's why I had the idea to have 2 names (see above) :D
Parafolk is amazing!
It's because you're awesome, and your game is fabulous. We love you! 😍♥️
Im stuck between Parapals and Parafolks, as long as it has para in the name then ill be happy
Yesss! Parafolks for the whole of the people and parapals for friends/individuals!
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!
In all honesty, I would be really happy with them just being called Paras. (One Para, many Paras)
I really like parafoks. Paras for short!
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!
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 :)
You are the cutest creator ever 😍😍 it‘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) ?☺️
I love parafolks! That’s so fun. They’re all great options, however I do think they should definitely have para in the word.
Continue making us proud! Much love!!
