Help[Games] Kaesy's Through Time NTNB Round 1
I've been thinking about doing an NTNB for awhile, but I wanted to try to do one with some sort of theme. So in this game, every family is coming from a different time period!
I'm planning to have rounds at least 48 hours apart - could be more, if something comes up, but I'll try not to have it be less, so people have time to get entries in.
Year: 1892
DH: [25] Jan Pieter Van Donk
DW: [22] Elsje Gertrude [Hoedemaker] Van Donk
DD: [nb]
Jan and Elsje young couple from the Netherlands who has immigrated to the United States. Afer arriving at Ellis Island, they've made their way to Michigan, where Elsje's brother lives. They'd already made their travel arrangements when Elsje discovered she was pregnant, and have just started settling into America when they welcomed their daughter into their family.
Her FN and MN both Dutch.
Year: 1942
DH: [20] Harry Andrew Carlson
DW: [18] Irene Eleanor [Bancroft] Carlson
D?: [exp]
After America entered World War II, Harry was quick to join the army, and propose to his sweetheart. The two married quickly, and didn't have much time together before Harry left to join the war. Now he's fighting in Europe, and Irene is at home and expecting.
They'll want a boy and a girl name, in the US Top 1000 for 1942.
Year: 1992
DH: [25] Jay Alexander Curtis
DW: [26] Sonya Marie [Langer] Curtis
DD: [exp]
Sonya and Jay met and dated in college, and got engaged when Jay graduated one year after Sony. Both are teachers, and found jobs in the same town before getting married. Now, a couple year later, they're about to welcome their first child - A girl. Sonya just hopes she doesn't come before she can finish up the schoolyear!
Her FN and MN are on the US Top 1000 for 1992.
Year: 2042
DH: [27] Carter Angel Gonzalez
DW: [25] Riley Evelyn Peters
DS: [nb]
Carter and Riley have vastly different interests - she's an artist, he's a software engineer. But both brought them to the same up-and-coming city. In their case it turns out opposites do attract, and they're now happily married, with a newborn son.
Riley kept her last name, since she wants to keep the same name attached to her art, but the baby's surname is Gonzalez.
Pick the sort of name that you think will be popular in 2042

In future rounds, I'll narrow the criteria beyond what it is here - I know Top 1000 is a lot of names. But starting out, I want to really reflect the time period, since that's the theme.
