Observation: There is a mainland sim named "Paw Paw" and another new mainland sim named "Pawpaw."

Similarities among sim names are bound to happen-- but I didn't expect it so soon. Seems like a small but unneccessary confusion for residents. Is LL aware of this? Is it intentional?

Nice observation, Iam!

Someone once pointed out to me about Muir and Muirhead.

Since mainland sims are often (always?) named in themes, the naming is intentional but this collision may not have gone noticed yet... until today, when you brought it up.

"Paw Paw" and "Pawpaw" without the space certainly leaves a lot of room for confusion—the latter is still new, so maybe it will get changed if people supposed to go to one place find themselves at the other frequently.

Heh, that's quite confusing. Maybe they can change it before anyone gets used to it. The most confusing one I noticed previously was Egan versus Eagan. I wonder who names the sims. I've always assumed a programmer didn't name "Rizal|Sports". I'm not too crazy about the names "Sandbox (Combat) - Blue Team's HQ", etc., maybe they can change those too
