Villager Naming:
Villagers do have a First and Last name, however it works a lil differently!
For example, say we have some librarian named Paege -- (By the way, villager first names are as unique and diverse as human names!) -- And she may live in a tundra where there are many polar bears or whatever
So, the villagers may name their village Beartown, or, maybe they name themselves after the snow. So, the village may be called Snowstorm Village.
And, since these villages are often very small, with as little as three buildings, all the villagers born in that particular area will have a last name that is (or is close to) the village name. So our random villager may be named Paege Snow or Page Bear or something.
Just some examples of some last names:
(Any Mob/related word) ex. Pig, Feather, Frogspawn
(Any Color) ex. Green, Black, Red
(Any Food/related words) ex. Sweetberry, Cocoa, Stew
(Any Block) Oak, Honeycomb, Cobble
(Any Weapon/Tool) Shield, Axe, Bow
(Any Plant/related words) Dandelion, Tallgrass, Root
(Any "Man-Made" things) Ink, String, Charcoal
Now, like I said, villagers often have diverse first names like we do. But since this is minecraft and I can do whatever I want, I imagine the villagers have names with lots of "wide" vowels like 'A', 'O', and 'E'.
Using our example villager, I just took an average name, Page, and added an E. So then it turned into Paege. Ill do it again: Owen -> Owein. Charity -> Chaerety. Etc. Etc. This isnt a rule, though. Do whatever you want, thats just my personal preference.
The closest thing to a middle name that I can think of are 'childhood names'.
I believe that villagers focus a lot on whether or not someone has a job or objective more specifically. That's why they kind of shun nitwits and call them that in the first place.
So, getting a work station is probably a very big deal to them! And since baby villagers can't work until they grow up, I imagine its like a 'coming of age' type thing to get a job along with a proper name.
Baby villagers do not have 'actual' names, but they obviously have to call themselves something, so baby villagers will often get a nickname of sorts. The name itself depends on the kids life. Like if they fell off of a pig they might get called Pig, or if they happen to be shorter then normal they'll get called Slab.
So our Paege Bear maybe was once called Fern because she accidentally got lost in a patch of tall ferns when she was little, or something.
Opinions yall?

What are creepers made of? Where does the gunpowder come from?
Heyo- sorry for taking so long to come back. It's the last few weeks of HS before I'm an official adult ._. Busy busy times
Anywho
Creepers can also be harvested for meat and are treated as a delicacy for some players, though most aren't skilled enough to get ahold of them before they either poof into the post-explostion selves or before they dissolve into smoke upon death.

Random thought before I go to bed.
So, we all know how most mobs reproduce in minecraft, from the livestock to the villagers we are made aware of how certain mobs may spawn with our help, mostly with the help of food, which got me thinking back into the "minecraft comes alive mod" where players and villagers could have a family with and among each other, like villagers can have kids eith other villagers and players and same goes to players with players.
Since it's a mod and Minecraft isn't really the sort of game where such a thing would ever be implemented, it got me thinking about how PLAYERS could reproduce In a vanilla world, no mods and all to boot, and comes Alive actually gave me a inspiration on how this could happen.
Here's the theory under "read more"
Inspiration for the theory
So in comes Alive, at least last time I played ir, in order to villagers to have kids, they need to be both married, have appointed spawns, and the village needs to have a certain amount of beds like vanilla villagers.
And the process is simple, the player can marry two villagers with iron rings, and later give them both a cake as a gift in order for a child to appear, which is a nod on how most mobs reproduce in the most simplest way, find the food that the species likes and give it to two mobs and thus a smaller version appears, and it seems that it happens regardless of the "biological gender", cause in some cases, players have given cakes to villagers of the same gender and yet a child appears, this tells me that in minecraft reproduction happens in another way.
Of course this is all a game mechanic and none of what I say is in fact what Jeb or who shall not be named wouldput in, but I thought it was a nice look at the lore of things.
The question of WHY mobs reproduce this way might be answered as it is something more supernatural or even, something only THE PLAYER CAN DO, as we have yet to see a animal breeder villager, and thus it begs the question as to why only the player can do this and could this process happen with OTHER PLAYERS AMONG EACH OTHER.
Well, I present to you a theory I have made, probably around the time I started to watch minecraft gameplays and listen to songs again.
What are players?
I think the PLAYERS are demigods, or even full Gods but I lean more towards demigod, as they might become powerful with time and be unstoppable but they have to earn it, so being able to make more of a species in their world for their own and even other people's sake.
So basically papa God was like "here's a cube world, catch!" And thus the player begins their journey.
Now here's my favorite part, if a player could reproduce with other players, how would it happen?
Well, after some thought I found my answer and it feels like real life made this easier.
How Players could have families in game
A item that, in most reproctuctive processes, in the game occurs because of it food items, but not just any food, it needs to be a food the mob is known for eating or even it's their favorite food, so I think in the same could apply to players, but instead of a favorite food being assigned to all players, the game could calculate which fold have you eaten the most or even a food you and your partner have in common.
So phaze one and two has happened, get two members of the same species of mob and give them the same food, now what?
Well, once you give mobs food they usually make a sort of...kiss animation? Or they are just nuzzling, which i think is more likely cause these are animals, most of them, and i doubt they would engange in a human tradition to display affection.
But now you might be wondering, the process is done, but how would the game determine how many kids two players could have, and that's where the villagers come into play.
Just how many kids are talking here?
In vanilla Minecraft, Villagers will have kids if the room available has enough beds, in other words, if near their spawn point there's enough spawn points availed to be claimed, so if there's a bed nearby left unused, or even multiple, that could determine how many baby players would spawn, so it would be interesting to see a mansion with rooms that were supposed to be for your friends but then you say "so me and my friend accidentally became parents to eight children? sorry, i'll try to be more careful next time"
