Best way to completely nuke unwanted babies?

That's correct behaviour though. It leaves behind enough of a character stump file so that when other sims have memory of the deleted sim, they can still find out its name and what it looked like, and also it reserves the Neighbor ID which could otherwise get reused. You wouldn't want Cassandra Goth to have a memory of her deleted brother and next time you looked it had turned into a memory of the latest newly spawned townie? You'd have more Bad Things if it didn't behave that way.
The entire point of this is to purge the sim from existence utterly and completely, as if it never existed, and yes, reuse the NID as a result. Since the game does not perform this and leaves behind stubs of the sim, like registry turds left in your computer, Deleted 2 is necessary to purge them completely. Deleting from the Simbin is an incomplete process that accumulates turds in your system, creating confusing duplicates of sims much like the Evil That Is Lotbinning Occupied Lots.
