Goth Family

{{FamilyPage
 * description    = The Goths sure are an unhappy bunch. Their legacy continues on from the Sims 1. Mortimer has aged to an elder, and his lovely wife, Bella has recently disappeared. Their son, Alexander is a intelligent young boy. Cassandra is now an adult, and is engaged to the Pleasantview 'player', Don Lothario. Cassandra is eager to start a family, but Don isn't.
 * etymology = Goth Relates either to medieval times or means "an uncivilized person" or "a person without culture". The Goth name in general has some resemblance, as well. The family seems to be the oldest (making it "medieval").

Mortimer Goth In French, "mort" means death. Could also mean "still water". Mortimer's name is fitting as he is an elder so technically death is near.

Bella Goth In Italian, "bella" means beautiful. Bella's name seems fitting because---for a Sim---she is supposed to be very beautiful (considering Don Lothario tried to "Make-Out" with her).

Cassandra Goth Of Greek origin it means "One who helps mankind" or "She Who Entangles Men". In Greek myth, Cassandra was a Trojan Princess who had been given the gift of prophecy by Apollo. She spurned his advances, and Apollo cursed her so that nobody would believe her prophecies. Cassandra's name is confusing because she doesn't predict anything that nobody believed. Having two men love her could be considered entangled.

Alexander Goth Means "defending man". Alexander the Great was the leader who created an empire through Greece, Egypt, Persia, and parts of India. Several other rulers and kings bear the name Alexander. Alexander's name seems fitting as well. He is the smart one and the first son; meaning he could have power to take over the family (if Dina Caliente doesn't do so first).

Gunther Goth (Mortimer's father): Means "war" and "army, warrior". Cornelia Goth (Mortimer's mother): From the Latin derivation, cornu, which means "horn". Or possibly, Cornelia is supposed to refer to "corn" because of the rural landscape of Pleasantview's past.

Hecuba Goth (Cornelia's cat, female twin Siamese): Variant on the Greek name 'Hekabe' which itself is a variant of 'Hecate' and can possibly mean "Far-off". From Greek Mythology - the wife of Priam and mother of Hector, Paris, and Cassandra (along with 16 other children) in Homer's Iliad.

Menelaus Goth (Cornelia's cat, male twin Siamese): From Greek origin it means "withstanding the people". From Greek Mythology - the king of Sparta at the time of the Trojan War; husband of Helen and brother of Agamemnon.

Victor Goth (Mortimer's paternal grandfather): One definition is "a person who has overcome, a conqueror". Another definition is "a winner in any struggle or contest".

Gretle Goth (Mortimer's paternal grandmother): Commonly spelled Gretel; Possibly derived from a Greek work meaning "pearl". Also, in a fairy tale, Gretel and her brother Hansel were captured by witches but managed to escape. If there was a witch-like character in the Sims' games that may have kidnapped Gretle Goth, this name would make more sense.

Frida Goth (Mortimer's paternal aunt): Means "peace". culture"
