How about, like I did for my genetics challenge, broadway show characters, or musicians' names (I used to use that for my pets.) Famous artists, or sports stars? Maybe video game characters of some kind?

Might be kind of crazy, but what about food mascots, especially cereal ones? I mean you have 100 generations, so gotta think outside the box a little. You have amphibians and mammals, but what about fish....all kinds of fish in the world

The only reason I haven't started it yet is because one of the achievements is to play ten different household for 10 generations and I haven't quite nailed down how I want to do the rotation gameplay

Mascots is a good idea! And I completely forgot about fish! (probably because I don't eat seafood...)

I think some of these may have been mentioned already but some of the ones I have used in the past are:
Spoiler:
You could also base the generation on some characteristic or trait of the previous heir. For example, back in one of my previous legacies my heir worked as a scientist so all of his kids were named after famous scientists, inventors, etc. Then the next generation heir worked as a chef so all of her kids were named after celebrity chefs from the Food Network or other cooking shows.

Ohh! Good ones! I like the idea of the heir influencing the naming theme like that. thanks for the suggestion!
