CAF Animal Pedigree Game
These games are interesting. I had an idea for one I that I wanted to put out there, see if anyone wanted to play. I was thinking of a multi-generational naming game like the ones here, only with animals. I don't breed animals, but I am interested in genetics and evolution. Here I was thinking hamsters specifically as I have two, but we can do whichever animal we want. Here's a example of what I mean, and I'll use my two Male Syrians for the example:Panda is a Male Hamster, the first in a line of hamsters who will each have two names plus a surname. So, Panda is Panda Bear Hoarding. One rule is, the surname must have something to do with the specific species of animal we are dealing with. For example, if you wanted to do guinea pigs, their species name is Cavia Porcellus. I would possibly use the name Cavington. In this case, hamsters hoard so they get the surname Hoarding. I don't think Hoarding or Cavington are actually surnames, but with animals we can really use our imaginations and make up some wild and crazy last names. So, here's Panda's first litter with a female...let's call her Dora. They have 3 pups in the litter; 2 male, 1 female. RULE: All the pups must have a name that is similar or related to the name one or both of the parents. It can be a derivative, same letter, or a mix of both parent's names.1st Female - Pandora Hoarding (a mix of Panda and Dora)
1st Male - Panther Hoarding (The prefix Pan)
2nd Male - Pan Hoarding (The first part of Panda)We can start with this. What do you want to do with it? Do you want to continue Panda's line, or do you want to go with a different animal?

--F: Willa (Will- and -a)
--F: Pebby (P from Pandora and -by from Willoughby)
--M: Dorian (PanDORa)
--M: Wilson (Wil-)
--F: Dory (PanDORa and -y)-M: Panther x F: Raffaella
--F: Ella (-ella)
--F: Hera (-her and -a)
--M: Theron (-ther)
--M: Rafe (Raf-)
--F: Paella (Pa- and -ella) lol-M: Pan x F: Bonnie

So my second male hamster is Frodi. Let's say he has a litter with a girl named Zamfir. This one is going to be a little different. Their babies are going to have Norse names, or names relating to anything Scandinavian. The names can relate to each other too, as in this case here. Their surname is Frodisen, literally Frodi's Son, as in some Scandinavian naming traditions. Frodi and Zamfir have 5 pups, 2 female, 3 male.Frodi and Zamfir1st Female: Saga Epic Frodisen
2nd Female: Freya Zamfir Frodisen
1st Male: Viking Legend Frodisen
2nd Male: Ragnar Myth Frodisen
3rd Male: Bjorn Tale FrodisenAll subsequent generations will continue a Scandinavian-like tradition for Surnames, using the name of the parent on Frodi's side with the suffix sen or dottir.Now I want to take one of Panda's and of Frodi's offspring and name THEIR offspring, and so on. Have fun!
