Name Generator Roulette, Game 1

'
Kottke.org mentioned this random name generator, a useful thing if you're writing a novel and need to come up with a character's name, or if you want to play the game I invented, Name Generator Roulette.

Here are the simple rules: click on the name generator and look up the names in Google. Points if the person exists in real life, no points if not. (Give yourself as many points as you want. If the person is in Google, report on the one who gets the first hit.) Half credit if the man's name turns out to belong to a woman, or vice versa.

So here's the inaugural game:

Men:
Kenton Lavery: Does not appear in Google
Stephen Carroll: The first hit is for a lecturer in English at Santa Clara University

Women:
Sheridan Goble: A man, deceased, a former resident of Floyd County, Kentucky
Kathleen Smith: A professor in the Duke University Department of Biology

Points this round: 1,750

Fun times for all!
