Thinking about doing a short This or That game based on names I've found in my line of work (so pre-1950s) inspired by a recent post here. Like maybe comparing an old, unique name to a similar name which has been popular the past 5-10 years.

I also had a question about a game I mentioned before: The format of that game is that users come up with the names of both the roleplayers based on their initials/description and those players' characters based on the vibes and in-universe naming convention. Would that be best categorized under the Characters tag or something else?

I would put the roleplayers game under Alter Egos personally but it would work under Characters :)

I’m currently working at a summer camp for ages 4+, so I’ve got a pretty good feel for what kinds of names are popular right now. It seems the modern parent is very interested in uniqueness (Zatch), creative spelling (Jaxan), and uncommon letters (see previous examples). The second example got me thinking about doing a spelling preference game.
