Re: Count Along CAF
in reply to a message by LadyBug
How To Play:
1. In the Male Names namebank below find the first name that starts with your first initial. This will be the name you start counting from.
2. Using the family set below count ahead from your starting name the number indicated to find the first name, then count ahead the next number indicated to find the middle name. Keep counting ahead to find FNs and MNs for the other family members. If you come to the end of the namebank then continue counting at the beginning of the namebank.
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 for Female Names namebank.
4. After you have all the names you can rearrange the family members, give them nicknames and ages if you wish. Even make some of the kids twins or triplets if you want!
I've included other family sets below so you can create more than one family if you wish.
Example: My first name starts with L so I would start counting with Lewis in the Male Names namebank. Then I would count ahead three names from Lewis making my DH's FN Quincy. Then I could count 5 ahead from Quincy making my DH's MN Elias. So DH's name would be Quincy Elias. Then for the first DS I would count ahead 6 names from Elias making his FN Walker, and his MN would be Ethan (Walker Ethan). Make sense? I hope so!
