Help[Games] Re: CN's NTNB 1 – No rules (m)
in reply to a message by CN
Wasn't too thrilled with it. With a couple of exceptions (like Shaniqua, JaQuan, McMadysyn, or Destani), names don't tell a person's social class.
The Walker Family
DH: Anthony Michael (29)
DW: Jennica Grace (26)
DS: Ashton Robert
These names are fine.
___________________________________________________________________________
The Hamilton Family
DH: Samuel Theodore III (32)
DW: Josephine Rose (30)
DD: Henrietta Rose (5)
DD: Margaret Ellen
Not even rich people name their daughters Henrietta anymore. And the names Samuel, Theodore, and Josephine are not exclusively upper-class.

The Nelson-Harris Family
DH: Reuben Alexander Paul (34)
DW: Maria Camilla (24)
DS/DD: Carter Evan / Cassidy Reese
This one was actually funny.

The Linville Family
DH: Jordan Graham (25)
DW: Winter Sky (23)
DS: Travis Randall
These names are good.

The Carrell Family
Dgf: Ashley Tate (16)
Dbf: Matthew Robert Simcek (17)
DD:
Again, the stereotype that all young fathers are ignorant and immature.

The Silva Family
DH: Conrad Patricio (42)
DW: Ruth May (39)
DS: Sarah Ruth
Fair enough, Conrad is pretentious, but Ruth is okay.

I do believe that names to a certain extent reflect social class (or rather socio-economic background) so we obviously have different opinions on the matter. This is just a game and I used ideal/pure type cases. It's just a way to see what names people think these stereotypical families would use.
If you don't like the game, don't reply. There is no need to be rude or lecture me on the use of names.
