This game has been inspired by the recent @LineSofie & @LittleOwl2308 maternity ward series. I put my own EleanorVintage series on it and decided to do one based on 120 years of names.
Below are the families who welcomed babies over the [name_u]Christmas[/name_u] period during 1900. Choose their surnames and name their new bundles of joy!
All genders and amount of children have been calculated with the help of a dice and the names have been taken from either the Top 100 or Top 1000 of [name_f]England[/name_f] & Wales’s data. Have fun!
