So, I got an idea for generation CAF series. I went through the list of 1000 most popular names for newborns in USA, looking out for patterns in them. For example, when looking at the list from 1880, I've noticed that there are a lot of male names ending with -ard and -ford, female names starting with marg- and cor-, etc. There were also examples of names with the same theme, for example, floral names, US states names, and historical figures names.

---

I've made a list of names with same patterns, then chose 7 of them to make a namebank (in a few cases there were just 6 names). Names are listed in the same order as in SSA list, meaning that the first name in the namebank was the most used in analyzed year, and the last name was the least used.

---

As a bonus, I've collected the most unusual and weird names. They are used for pets. Names for dogs come from male list, names for cats from female list.

---

For the first game I used name list from 1880. I will continue with names from 1890, 1900, 1910, etc., until I reach the latest list. You can join, drop out, rejoin anytime you want. This is my first series of name games, so bear with me :P I don't know, how often will I post new game, it depends on how much time I'll have. But I'm already working on a new one, so it should be posted in a few days.

Okay, enough explaining (god, that was long), let's move on to the game. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did creating it! :)
