Jane's 129-year Generational Congrats: Sign-ups and round 1
You will start in 1880 with a couple born sometime around 1860 and their first child or twins. I would recommend either timeless and traditional names for the parents or names popular in the 1880s. Children must be from the 1880s top 1000.Rules:
-3 missed consecutive rounds without notification and you're out.
-No nicknames without a full name- what I mean by that is if you want a nickname, "Fred" for example, make sure it's short for something like Frederick or Alfred. No Freds when Fred isn't short for anything.
-You may use as many middle names as you want.
-New arrivals should be either bolded of put in between plus signs; +Mary Elizabeth+.
-As well as the name, age and year of birth should be listed; (age) [year of birth].
-NO LAST NAMES! That would make it too confusing.Namebank: http://www.ssa.gov/OACT/babynames/decades/names1880s.html Format:

DC: (your decision as to the sex of first child and whether or not there are twins)Yes, it is the year 1880 in case that hasn't been clarified.

DD: Helene Maria (nb, b. 1880)I decided to add a little info about the couple:Michael and Salome were both born in Germany, but they moved to America as children. In 1879, they got married. One year later, they had a daughter, Helene. They now live on a farm in Kansas.NOTE: This sounds fun! I should do my own!

Umm...did you use the database? This isn't 2009, it's 1880.I don't understand why Kimberly or Connor would be there. The database is the top 1000 for the 1880s. You can get it on this website or on the Social Security Administration's website.

I decided to let Kimberly and Connor slide as family names.But only this time...I doubt there were any Connors or Kimberlys in the 1880s.
