Here's pic of my village. (this is after the power outage debacle that nearly destroyed them. But they are recovering nicely )

I give them titles before they became elders so that they would have a title attached to their totems, such as Mother Kuruk, Elder Kuruk, Master Papu, Koko the Wise.....

i do something wierd
i name them things like "builer" or "farmer" so that when i am checking off their skill preferences or if i need to move more villagetrs somewhere to finish something quick, i know where to change them back to
hehe lol

I am doing the same sort of thing regarding clothing now that all the tech levels are reached and the puzzles are solved. I seem to have a problem with "renaming" when I don't want it too, so clothes seem to work the best for me.
