==The [[Specter Family]]==
* '''Specter''': Means "ghost" or "something widely feared as a possible unpleasant or dangerous occurrence."
* '''[[Olive Specter]]''': Means "olive tree." It is associated with the olive branch which is a symbol of peace and victory. Alternatively, it could be a reference to olives which are "a small oval fruits with hard stones and bitter flesh, green when unripe andturn bluish black when ripe." This could be hinting at the decay a human body experiences after death.
* '''[[Ichabod Specter]]''' (Olive's late husband): A Hebrew name meaning "inglorious." It comes from the biblical name of the grandson of Eli the High Priest and son of Phinehas, an evil-intentioned priest. It could also be a reference to Ichabod Crane from ''The Legend of Sleepy Hollow'', a gothic horror story.

The presence of deceased Sims in Olive Specter's garden with names implying suspicious or intentional death is hinting that she murdered them all. Her persistent association with death (including [[WooHoo]] with the [[Grim Reaper]] and implied subsequent mothering of his child) backs this up along with the cryptic family biography you see when you go to play her lot.
* It is a coincidence that all of their names refers to death, because they are all dead, and it is possible that Olive murdered them all (And she did once [[woohoo]] with the [[Grim Reaper]])

* '''[[Zog Nigmos]]''' (Ophelia's paternal grandfather): In Dutch, "zog"''Zog'' comes from the Dutch word ''kielzog'' which means "wake", the white turbulent water behind a boat. This could be a hint at the more grim definition of "wake" meaning "a watch or vigil held beside the body of someone who has died."

The name "Smith" happens to be the commonest name in the United States. This is quite ironic, seeing is the Smiths are anything but "common".
