This is essentially a NTNB that is done all in one round and you complete the whole family. However, in this game I will have a bank of SO's names/personalities/etc. In families #1 through #3, 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. In family #4, you will chose a single parent (you can duplicate #4 and have a #5 if you want to use all of the SO Name Bank names). Then, using the descriptions from the SO and from the children, you will come up with the names of the children for each family. This is not judged nor are winners selected. Have fun! ☺

SO Name Bank:

DW: Percy Annamaria Brown
Percy is the youngest of three daughters. Her father REALLY wanted a son. And, since Percy was his last, he named her after his little brother who died in childhood. Percy has always loved her name. It's unique enough that she never had to share it in school, and she loved having a name with meaning/heritage. She even loved having a masculine name. However (much to her dad's disappointment), Percy is a very girly-girl. Percy is adamant that she will use family names for her children. However, she wants to find unique ways to use them. (Family Names: Elizabeth Grace, Catherine Jane, Margaret Rose, Stephen Alexander, Edward Henry, Benjamin Thomas)

DW: Tiffany Amber Grimaldi
Tiffany grew up a very spoiled, only-child. She's vain, self-centered, and very beautiful. She was snobby in high school, but learned to reign it in somewhat as she got older. She honestly tries to think about others... but often forgets when it is something that affects her. She spent some time as a professional cheerleader, but has since started her own business. She has her own clothing/design line, and its getting pretty popular with the boutique crowds. She likes the names that are gaining in popularity and notice, and rising fast in the popularity charts, but are no where near the top 200.

DW: Teresa-Ruth Temperance Rayne
Teresa-Ruth grew up in a very religious family. Her parents believed that girls wore long skirts, covered their hair, and were demure at all times. Her father really didn't have a specific religion that he had the family practice, he just picked customs and beliefs that suited him. Teresa-Ruth has a large family, with 4 sisters and 7 brothers. All of the children were home-schooled for their first 10 years. After that, the boys entered public school, but the girls were sent to a private school for girls where they wouldn't be tempted to do wrong. Teresa-Ruth couldn't wait to get away from her father's strict rules and beliefs. As soon as she was able, she went to college. Once there, she broke off all contact with her parents. In college, she majored in religion. She's become a devout catholic, but enjoys learning about many different religions. Her favorite names have religious meanings or heritages, but aren't thought of as JUST religious names.

DW: Betsy Mae Nightingale
Betsy is the youngest child and only girl in her family. She has four older brothers, the youngest of which is almost 9 years older then her. As such, she's the much petted and beloved baby of the family. She loves children, which is why she became a teacher. She'd loved to have a family of at least 6 children after she marries. She dislikes the trendy/kre8tiv names, but is all over the board with her "likes".

DH: Eamon Uilliam McManus
Eamon is a third-generation Irish immigrant. Both sets of grandparents moved to the US at the same time, and settled near each other. They both had children around the same ages, and his father fell in love with his mother. It as a perfect match as far as the grandparents were concerned - and in truth, they were a wonderful couple. Having Seen his parent's happiness, Eamon will settle for nothing less then true love. He loves his Irish heritage, and loves to find Irish names that are just under the radar of most parents.

DH: Kelly "Nick" Leonidas Nicole
Nick is one of the middle of four boys - he has two older brothers and one younger. His brother's names are Austin, Brett and Troy, and he HATES that he has the only unisex name of the bunch. What's even worse is the fact that Kelly turned decidedly, and ONLY, feminine shortly after his mom picked it. It doesn't help that Nick was often referred to as "Nicole" or "Nicole, Kelly" throughout much of high school. After high school, he joined the military. He quickly started having others refer to him as "Nick". So far, he's had a wonderful career with the military. Nick likes names to be strongly masculine or very feminine, and HATES unisex names on either gender.

DH: Harris Gray Alexander
Harris is the eldest and only son - he has a younger sister. His family started off with a lot of money, and turned it into more. Harris has inherited the family business and fortune. Just like his father, he plans on taking the money and turning it into more. However, Harris also plans on enjoying what he has, and also doing good with it too. He loves names that are vintage... and I mean so vintage that most wouldn't think of using them!

DH: Wyatt Beau Cassidy
Wyatt grew up a good-old-southern boy. He believes in holding the door open for women, helping out his neighbors, and just generally being a good guy. Both of Wyatt's parent's died when he was just 8, and he got bounced around foster homes and youth/group homes. However, the experience has made him appreciate family even more. Wyatt loves names that like Rex and Axel for boys and Delia and Scarlett for girls.
