My First Generation CAF!
After years of playing these games on nameberry, I finally decided to make my own!
This took Way longer than I thought it would and it’s completely possible that I’ve doubled up on more names and lists than I meant to. But these are my favorite name games to play- with links and rules and generational names- so I’m excited to post my own. It was a lot of fun to make and I really hope y’all enjoy it : )
