Inspired by this little series I did a while back: Quiz CAF 4 -- Which Name does NOT rank in the top 1000?
how to play
In this quiz caf, select the name you believe is NOT inside the top 1000. For each family member you will have to select the one name you think is NOT in the top 1000. Note that this is from the new 2023 SSA data set from the United States.
The names will rotate between masculine and feminine, so it is important to keep this in mind when making your selection.
You get to name a family member anyways, so don’t sweat it too much!
Feel free to swap around names in the namebanks between masc and fem if you’d like! And if you’d prefer a family member to be non-binary, feel free to do that as well.
Now using the new 2023 data! Namebanks come from the lists on Nameberry of international baby names.
