HelpRe: Compromise Game
in reply to a message by Emaleigh
I did some quick data gathering from our lists. For each gender, I set both lists next to each other, determined the difference in ratings and the cumulative total from the ratings. I then made lists of names that have the lowest average rating and the names we agreed on the rating for the most (that particular one isn’t particularly helpful, but I did it just for fun). Here goes!
BOYS:
1 Eoin 1 Rafael
2 Caspian 2 Caspian
3 Mathias 3 Peregrine “Pippin”
4 Hugo 4 Evander
5 Patrick 5 Edmund
6 Peregrine “Pippin” 6 Hugo
7 Jonas 7 Benjamin “Ben”
8 Evander 8 Mathias
9 Rory 9 Anthony
10 Diarmad 10 Jonas
11 Rafael 11 Patrick
12 Edmund 12 Eoin
13 Benjamin “Ben” 13 Diarmad

So there’s that. Other than Caspian, which had the highest average and the highest agreement, most of our top names we don’t agree on much. I’m pretty happy with the top overall preferred names though and would be happy to narrow down to those if you would like. Also, I was wondering what your ideas were for Ruth? I'm open to using it however because it's an honoring name, so it's really your preference there.
In terms of genders we originally said we would prefer 2 or 3 children and it seems we should have at least 1 of each gender (it would seem a bit of a waste to spend all this time on names of two genders and use 1 gender). Since we have more girls options we could go with 2 girls, 1 boy, or, since we have slightly more consensus with boys names we could go with 2 boys, 1 girl. Or, of course, we could stick with 2 children or go overboard and name 4 or more. I don’t have much of a preference. Do you?
