CAF With Twists (First 12 Judged)
This is a traditional CAF-style game with a couple twists:
(1) The sons’ first names must be from the father’s middle name’s origin, with middle names from the origin of the mother’s first name. The opposite should be true for the daughters.
(2) All of the names must have meanings that make sense.
