Roll the die (http://www.bgfl.org/bgfl/custom/resources_ftp/client_ftp/ks1/maths/dice/twelve.htm) to determine the gender of each child. Roll seven times initially. An odd number signifies a boy, and an even number signifies a girl. If you roll an 11 or 12, you have had twins; roll twice more to decide the genders of the twins.

There are some in Ireland who don’t believe in birth control. Roll the die again – if you roll a 9 or higher, you are part of that population. (If you roll below a 9, you’re in luck – you get to stop at 7.) Roll again to determine the child’s gender/if you are having twins, and use any of the namebanks above to create his or her name. Then, roll once more to determine if you are done having children yet. You won’t be done until you roll a 6 or lower after naming each respective child.
