I’ve been finding the “similar names” games interesting, as to what counts as a similar name. So I did one of my former class at my small high school! You pick a first name and middle name from the namebanks, and choose a last name based on the rules, for each student, and each student will have a gender listed next to them, with g being girl, and b being boy.
Have fun!
