[Games] A new twist on a CAF
In this game I will have a bank of SO's names/personalities/etc. You will team up two SOs (your choice as to genders - If you chose to use two of the same gender, assume "father" is the top SO and "mother" is the bottom SO) and place them in one of the family groups. Then, using the descriptions from the SO and from the children, you will come up with the names of the children for each family. Have fun :)


SO Name Bank:DW: True Love Valentine
True has a love/hate relationship with her name. She loves that her name is unique, but hates the "tacky" overall feel of the full name. She's determined that her children will have names as unique as her own, but without the tacky feel. She's also determined that her husband will take her last name, as she loves it! (no hyphens, no separate last names)DW: Jenna Rose Jenkins
Jenna has a love for romance and a dream of marrying a foreign prince. Of course, she knows that this is nothing more than her own personal fairy tale. She's got a degree in literature and writes novels to rival Bronte and Austin. Her passion for writing means that she loves using names with a literary reference. Also, she loves to be creative and use places or other references from novels as names, and masculine names as feminine names.DW: Naiara Teresa-Maria Alvarez
Naiara loves popular culture and her heritage in about equal measures. She also has a strong Catholic faith that plays a large part in her life. She went to an all-girls Catholic school, and spent a little time rebelling from that fact. Now, however, she has embraced her religion and intertwined it into the rest of her life. She loves Spanish names and Catholic-Saint names.DH: Rupert "Robin" Alistair Tavish McIntyre IV
Rupert's family is an old, blue-blood family of many ties and much wealth. Rupert is the youngest, but also the only son. Because so much of his life is seeped in the past and in family ties, Rupert finds himself drawn to the present and the popular. He knows that his first son will be named "Rupert Alistair Tavish McIntyre V", but he also knows that he will have a nickname that is a "fresh of breath air" (at least to him). The rest of the children will share very proper first names, two middle names and a "fresh" nickname.DH: Joe John Justice
Joe John grew up a typical red neck. However, he spread his wings and traveled. He went to the University of Chicago, but then transfered to the University of Oregon. Ideas expanded and he ended up being a red neck on the outside and a complex guy once you got to know him. He's a third grade teacher, and his students love him. His teaching has brought him into contact with many names. He loves some of the "born-again" names, but positively hates the trendy names because his worst students (who also have the worst parents!) have the trendiest names.DH: Zayn Nadir Karimi
Zayn grew up in Great Britain, but moved to America when he was a teenager. His father and mother went through a nasty divorce and custody battle. He chose to stay with his father, and was allowed, and his sisters chose to stay with his mother in Great Britain. Zayn's father was a bit of a player and Zayn picked up a number of bad habits when it came to the female species. Luckily, he has a good heart and when the right one came around he settled right down to remain loyal. Zayn loves names that honor his Arabic heritage and popular/trendy names from the US.
