This used to be fairly popular on the games board, I thought I would bring it back to break away from all these Generational Congrats and NTNB's. Sure, those games are fun, but when those are the only choices, it's boring.

---

I don't remember exactly how the game used to be played and I don't remember what we called it so the search function wasn't much help, but here is how I am going to set it up. If anyone remembers the old game, let me know.

RULES:
Below is a namebank. I didn't number them, so you will have to keep track on your own.
1.Randomly choose a number, this is your starting point. (You may choose the same number or a different number for boys and girls.)
2.Answer the following questions. The answer you choose will have a number corresponding to it. Note: It is important that you answer one question and continue on to step 3 before answering the next question, as it may become confusing as to which name/number you are on
3.Add this number to your starting point and whichever name you “land” on, will be the name for your child. This is also your new “starting point” for your next child. Continue on to the next question.
4.Your pet can be any pet you wish and any gender you wish.
5.If you reach the end of the namebank, simply cycle back through it.
6.No spelling changes allowed.
7.If you end up with a name like Jane June, you may change one of the names to make it more reasonable, but please use the namebank.

I will reply to this message with my own “family” and try to show explicitly what I did. Hopefully, this will clear up any confusion you may have. I have limited access to the computer for the next week or two so if anyone needs help or thinks they can help, feel free to speak up in my place.

Most importantly, have fun!
