[Games] EJ's Generational Congrats (Round 1)
Okay, first time I've ever started one of these games...
This starts in 1900 and goes until 2009.
Rules:
-No surnames
-You may do Jrs. and IIIs, etc. if you don't want to use a name from the name bank (see http://www.SSA.gov/OACT/babynames/ ). That goes for both parents, including the mother (the women don't get those titles, though)
-bold new family members, or if you don't know how just put + signs around the name
-include years of birth (1880 is the farthest back allowed)
-include death dates after a while. I don't want to see any people born between 1880 and 1905 still alive in 2009.
-you may start at this any time, however if you start this in a later round, please be sure to give the entire family data.
-limit amount of middle names to 3.
-Middle names do not have to be popular that year.
-If I don't like the way you spell a certain name I'll modify the spelling to my taste.
-No nicknames without a full name and quotation marks around the nickname. Round 1: Year 1900

Create a child. If both parents first names start with vowels, you have twins, with a girl and a boy. Mother's name a consonant: girl. Father's name a consonant: boy. Both parents consonants: identical twins of whatever gender you choose.

I made them young as it was more common then!
vote up1
Okay, but did the father have to be 11 years of age? I don't think it was possible back then for most young men to father children that young...I understand the mother being 15 but don't you think that girls didn't normally have children until they were at least 16, and then with older men or men the same age? 11 is too young.

WHOOPS!WHOPPS! Did I really make him be 11? Geez, I meant to make him 19! I'm sorry!!!!! She can be 16 also

Thanks...that would have been freaky.
Yeah, I made my girl 16 as well, due to the popularity of Parthenia in certain years.

What years were everyone born? I can assign 1900 to the twins, but what about the parents? I asked for the years of their births.

Did you mean to say that James Oscar is a boy? You said James was a girl? I just need clarification there.
