Sorry, wasn't trying to be a dck, I just thought I was doing it wrong, lol. DS1: Lazarus Quentin DS2: Gideon Ambrose DS3: Zachary Cyrus DD1: Keziah Theodosia DS4: Emanuel Finnian DD2: Tamar Sophronia DD3: Imogen Beatrix DS5: Zebulon Maxwell DD4: Susannah Verity I like too many of these names too much. EDIT: I made a boy a girl because I was going off the wrong thing and am dopey. You see why I thought it was me, Bel? Jessamy Lucinda is now Emanuel Finnian.

I have grave suspicions that I have made a mistake somewhere because I got some reasonable names out of these lists. Meet my family of seven: Daniel Langdon Olivia Patience Lydia Felicity Rufus Finnian Nicholas Bartholomew William Granville Hamish Oliver

It looks like everyone is getting it but me. Does the 1 or 2 next to the lists mean your first or second boys name comes from that link or what? What if you say had 11 of one gender? It only goes up to 8?

What if you say had 11 of one gender? It only goes up to 8? The numbers are for the number you roll on the dice . So for your first child, you might roll a 5, which means a girl. Then you roll again and get say a 3, so you choose a name from the 3 or 4 list. So you need to roll twice for each child. Sorry I wasn't really clear - that's what happens when I steal from someone else's game in a rush!
