YOUR CARD FOR WOMEN'S NAMES:
Madison Rebecca Melissa Zoey Friday
Jocelyn Ashley Priya Mackenzie Amanda
Lisa Chloe Emma Samantha Gertrude
Belinda Bonnie Charline Taylor Bella
Nicole Corrine Natalie Ava Riya

VS ME

Amber Leigh Holly Wiatta Caitlin
Danielle Evelyn Angelica Emily Sherry
Amelia Renee Friend Laura Amy
Zoe Deanna Maria Lenae Helena
Leslie Mallory Ashley Raine Natasha

Bingos: 0-0, tie
Names: 11-16, me

Ya'll were only close to a bingo once and needed Riya to land it, For me, I'm really surprised there wasn't an Amy -- that alone would have landed me two bingos and therefore the card and game. Amber's almost as surprising -- woulda been one bingo for me. Angelica...eh, I'll accept there wasn't one, though there was an Angel named and I wanted to count that. Biggest surprise: no Melissas.

YOUR CARD FOR MEN'S NAMES:
Jack Finn Ronald Wolfgang Cole
Nate Tyler Amir Jayden Reese
James Robert Matthew Dustin Ludwig
Dick Ralph Muhammad Max Ibrahim
David Alexander Hunter Carson Lee

VS ME

Ryan Phillip Miguel Aaron Eric
Alex Joseph Trey Nathan Mario
Peyton Dustin Jason Chris Nicholas
Terry Travis Blake Lucas Brandon
Richard James Joshua Timothy Thomas

Bingos: 3-2, ya'll
Names: 19-18, me

We both got the first column and the \-diagonal. Ya'll just got the bottom row too, which I woulda got too if I have a Timothy -- damn, really? There was a Travis announced which could have given me a bingo, but it was used as a last name so I held back. I was also just a Dustin, Miguel, or Mario away from more bingos. ya'll had several one-aways too though: Wolfgang, Amir, and Ralph (who would have given you two bingos). Dustin is the only name guessed by both sides but was not named. Biggest surprise: Muhammad was in a feminine name for a feminine person so I didn't count it for the men's card -- maybe next time I should just let names count anywhere, but that might game it out for versatile names too much like Stewart. Probably fine really.

YOUR CARD FOR LAST NAMES:
Powell Kelley Deluna Winters Blackthorne
Williams Brookes Patel Kim Clarke
Jameson Franklin Campbell Ramirez Blake
Poots Wiener Smith Robinson Park
Jones Hernandez Collins Lee Gomez.

VS ME

Adams Smith Merriman Strong Johnson
Spencer Thompson Cohen Guiterrez Cooper
Corts Jackson Friend Gibson Barlow
Cage Mitchem Spears Hines Bond
Langford Toledo Hill Lennon Wilson

Bingos: 0-0, tie
Names: 13-9, ya'll

Campbell was the only centerpiece to not land, which would have given ya'll a bingo if that had landed. I thought picking Campbell over Williams was a tough choice on your part...but hey, it worked out anyway with you still getting more names. You needed a Poots! Poots would have given you a bingo! I was only close to a bingo once, and Toledo was more of a longshot than some others that also weren't named. We had a Blake for a first name but not a last name. Biggest surprise was me remembering too late that I only know the last name Cage from movies and video games.

Looks like all my selections landed aw yeah

Can't believe there wasn't a Jocelyn. Maybe they just haven't reached college yet.

Oh wait, no, there was no Bella. So close.

Guess that's too recent of a naming trend still.

I got Chloe, Samantha, Matthew and Ramirez, but missed Dustin and Blake.

My strategy for the first names was to think of first names of young coworkers, who would've been out of college not too long ago. The only exception I made was Corrine, which I got wrong (we may be a couple years away from that one).

Last names are harder, though. Not surprised to see fewer hits there.

My first choices were my son's and daughter's names, and my wife's maiden name. There's very little chance of my last name showing up at a graduation. The others were just names I thought were popular enough to show up.

Not a single Kim, Park, or Lee huh

Guessing there's not a lot of East Asians at this college

For me, Matthew and Samantha are kinda timeless, Chloe and Dustin are kinda "dark horse" names that have never been uber popular but seem to pop up here and there among every age group, and I picked two random last names that came to mind fairly quickly.

Biggest surprises for me:

No Ava, Bella (I guess we're still a few years away from the Twilight babies graduating), Melissa, Eric... I'm not even gonna go there with last names because they're much harder to predict but I'll agree that some of the more common Asian names not coming up is jarring.

Seeing Raine, Sherry, Ronald (thought it was fairly out of style by now; also at first glance I thought it said "Rolland" which would have been even more surprising), Reese, Trey (I've always been under the impression that this is usually a nickname for people with the "III" suffix rather than a given birth name), Mitchem (simply because I've never heard this last name before and it's the only one that either of us got right that that's the case for)

Im glad my shit posting didnt lead to a team L

Only got 1/6 of your names and it cost a potential bingo, but it also got a bingo in a game won by one bingo...so is it shit posting or clutch?

The world may never know.

I picked the names of kids my daughter knew back in high school. My kids all have less common names (except Cole, which I almost seconded.)
