Neat idea! Thanks for also keeping the socioeconomic backgrounds more realistic & less glib than in some other ntnbs.

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.

These names are fine.

Not even rich people name their daughters Henrietta anymore. And the names Samuel, Theodore, and Josephine are not exclusively upper-class.

Again, the stereotype that all young fathers are ignorant and immature.

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.
