Return of the CAF to End All CAFs!
Darkbone did “The CAF to End All CAFs” back in 2017. I decided to resurrect it. View the original game here: https://www.behindthename.com/bb/game/4843401So, rules are simple: —Pick a surname that you will use for the entire game. It can be any nationality you want it to be.
—The first husband and wife are both born in 1520. Couples way back then tended to be young when they married (12-14 was the starting age), but all of your couples should be no younger than 18.
—Roll a 10-sided dice, then use the 2-sided dice for the sexes. Even number means it’s a boy, odd number means it’s a girl. Add a son only if you got all daughters. If you have one child and it’s a girl, add a boy. Use this dice roller here: http://www.brockjones.com/dieroller/dice.htm
—Name them whatever you want, though keep in mind families often used the same names
—Take the oldest son, give him a wife, then keep going until you reach 2020
—Middle names are optional. If you want, you can use the wife’s maiden name for the children’s middle names. But if your family is Russian, use patronymic names (ex. Dmitriyevich and Dmitryevna for the children of a man named Dmitri). Asian families don’t use middle names, so you may not have to worry
—Have fun! If this is successful, I may do a royal family version :)DH (b. 1520):

The Martínez de Castilla Family(I just realized how inaccurate the timelines were: Richard Edmund Ashworth was born in 1642 and had his son in 1645... Whoops!)I’ll do a Spanish family this time. I won’t be using the traditional surname custom (ex. Esteban Martínez Velásquez will be just Esteban Martínez).H (1520): Álvaro Martínez

Quite an undertaking! And I'm going to make it harder on myself by creating a Japanese family. Since only nobles or samurai families were allowed surnames in the beginning, assume it's one of those. Also, I won't bother with childhood or boyhood names.Gen 1
