I had a fun time with the names & trying to figure out ethnicities and ages.

The reason I was even thinking about it is (1) younger people would not necessarily be able to read cursive and (2) my ESL students have far more trouble reading cursive, or even hand-printed, content that shows up sometimes on bar exams.

I printed most of my cards, but when I needed a break I looked for an older/traditionally spelled name to write an occsional cursive note.
