It is pretty self-explanatory so you should probably take out the example and include it in the quiz. Don, Sue, Peter, Summer, Autumn, Winter, Leo...I have a feeling the list is going to get much longer than the 30 you have now. I can't believe how hard this was - I like it.

I'm sure this has nothing to do with my Verb quiz whatsoever.

I went ahead and quit after common names Cliff and Sue didn't show up. This is one of the lamest quizzes in the HISTORY of quizzes!!!

I really like the idea but there must be hundreds of answers you could have. Dale,Buck,Rick,Eddy,Victor,Roger,Dean,Don,Drew,Guy,Glen,Jean,Max?,Jay,Jerry?,Angel,Clay,Randy,Rowan,Paddy?,Junior,Mason,Marshall,John?,Jessie... If you can have Dick surely you should allow Fanny.

In my defense, I found the list to go on and on as well. But I had to draw the line somewhere! I used the 100 Most Popular Names of the 90's (http://www.ssa.gov/OACT/babynames/decades/names1990s.html) and the 100 most popular names of the 2000's (http://www.ssa.gov/OACT/babynames/decades/names2000s.html). I also didn't include any names that are spelled differently than it's english word counterpart (like Matt didn't count even thought mat is a word because the spelling is different). Otherwise it really could be endless. Sorry Sampson. Cut me a break. It was the first quiz I published. Check out the other quiz I just made though about highest grossing 3D movies. I think it's much better than this one.

Sampson, doesn't look like you have ever tried making a quiz so I don't think you have room to criticize.

There are so many names which could be words that this quiz is more difficult than it should be. Maybe a clue column with a definition would help? Basically a good idea, though.

Or, you could reword the instructions to indicate that you're not looking for "the" names that are also words.
