In each round of this game the host will give the players namebanks to create first name and middle name combos from. The main thing that makes this one unique is that it involves "compromising" on names with another player. The naming rules given will be based on a combination of your and your partner's preferences. Each player will make two combos per round, and in the following round their partner will pick their favorite to have be added to the shared family.
Please signup with the following format:
SO1:
SO2:
10 names you like:
Preference for using non-English names:
Two countries you'd want your family to adopt from ("none" is OK if you'd rather your family not adopt):
Favorite & Least Favorite from List #1:
Favorite & Least Favorite from List #2:
Favorite & Least Favorite from List #3:
Favorite & Least Favorite from List #4:
Further explanations:
♠ SO1 & SO2 are two combos of your choice, one of which will be used as a parent for your family. Using the random renamer (
http://www.behindthename.com/random/) is an option.
♠ 10 names you like are just that :)
♠
On the following scale of 1 to 5, what best describes your prefence for using non-English names in this game?:1: English names only, please
2: Non-English names are OK to use only in a single round in which my family does a foreign adoption
3: I would like most of the names I can choose to use to be usable in English/would at least expect all of our children's FNs to be English names
4: I am comfortable with names that match the usages of my and my partner's SO submissions (and also matching the usages of our favorite names) regularly appearing throughout the game
5: Even if there are 0 English names in my family's namebanks for the entire game, I'll be cool with it
Other: Explain
♠ Two countries are just that :) There will likely be a round that has namebanks based on names popular in one of those countries and/or used in languages spoken in one of those countries
♠
For each of the following groups of ten names, pick your favorite and least favorite:[#1: 2015 U.S. Top 10] Noah, Liam, Mason, Jacob, William, Ethan, James, Alexander, Michael, Benjamin
[#2: 2015 U.S. Top 10] Emma, Olivia, Sophia, Ava, Isabella, Mia, Abigail, Emily, Charlotte, Harper
[#3: 2016 BtN Top 10] Alexander, Daniel, Felix, Oliver, Rowan, James, Ezra, William, Jasper, Gabriel
[#4: 2016 BtN Top 10] Adelaide, Elizabeth, Rose, Alice, Iris, Violet, Aurora, Freya, Luna, Charlotte
I will use the information you gave me to pair off everyone playing with someone whose taste seems compatible. I'll then pick an SO from each signup to form your shared family. Namebanks will be customized based on what is in your signup forms and, eventually, based on your previous children.
Please note that if you miss a round, I will play for you, but you're welcome to rejoin at any time.
