[Games] Re: Name the New Baby - First 15 Judged
in reply to a message by Cera
The Aberdeen Family
Kristen and Joe are expecting their fourth child, a girl. Their first three children have names that begin with M, and they don't want their new daughter to be left out of the tradition, so they want to give her a first name beginning with M, with a nickname that begins with another letter. (The nickname should be derived from the first name, not the middle name.) They don't have any specific criteria for the nickname, as long as it sounds good with the first name and their other children's names.
DW: Kristen Mary
DH: Joseph Rodney "Joe"
DS/DS: Michael Forrest "Forrest" / Maxwell James "Max"
DD: Mary Jacqueline

DH: Luke Alan
DS: Jeremy Luke
DD/DS: Lydia Anne / Lucas Andrew

Small correction
In the first family, the nickname can't begin with M. That's mostly my fault, since I said "no specific criteria for the nickname" when I meant the middle name. I've corrected that.

Sometimes I just feel like smacking people with the dictionary, just to see if they absorb any intelligence through osmosis.
