I've never hosted one of these before. I thought it'd be fun to give it a try. :) Here's how it's going to work.
I'm going to give everyone a their own small name bank to choose from for names. I'll randomly generate them using Behind the Name's random name generator which is here:
http://www.behindthename.com/random/
Go to that link and look over the list of categories. When you sign up for this game, you may specify a favorite category. When I generate your namebank, at least four of the names will be guaranteed to come from your favorite category, and the rest will be completely random. I strongly recommend choosing a category that has a lot of different names in BtN's database, or you'll get a lot of redundant names. If you want all the names to be completely random, just indicate that instead.
Genders for children will be randomly selected as well. On the last round for that generation, if someone has all the same gender, I'll give them option for them to adopt an opposite gender child. I have no idea how many generations we'll go altogether.
As this is my first attempt at such a game, I apologize ahead of time if I make any mistakes and ask for some extra patience here. :)
For the sign up round, everyone is going to choose from the same namebank. In the rest of the rounds, everyone will have their own smaller list.
I won't be keeping track of ages, but you're welcome to do that yourself. If you want to make your couple the same gender that's fine too.
