Does anyone else get a little bit bored of cookie-cutter family name games? Where everyone is married by 30, no step parents, no single people older than 25, etc. I do so here’s a genuine, multicultural, messy CAF loosely based on my own very messy family, with names inspired by (some) of their names. Enjoy!
(p.s. most of these people only have one name (common in Denmark) so that’s all that’s given but of course, I know we all love name combos on here so feel free to choose middle names from the FN options! :))
(p.p.s most people here are Danish, and still live in Denmark. Only two parents are other nationalities at the end - one English/French mum and one Polish/Greek mum. In case you’re from an English speaking country and wondering why the names are so ‘strange’. But I have tried to include a couple of options for each name where at least one will work in an English language/accent)
(p.p.p.s if you’re thinking "no way - these sibling’s names don’t match at alllll, it makes no sense, no one in real life would go so rogue! I sadly have to tell you it is real, and in real life this is a very messy family lol)
(p.p.p.p.s the small ‘g’ in between DS/DD (like DggD) is “grand” or “great grand” daughter. I include it because there are two brothers - one has kids, no grandkids. The other has kids, grandkids and great-grandkids - even though they’re only 5 years apart!)
Okay I’m done. Have fun!
