This game isn't my idea. Full credit to the person who thought of it first. I'll be posting mine later.
This is my son, Christopher Mark. We call him "Topher" because thats how he used to say his name when he was starting to talk
Christopher says: And now I'm stuck with it for life. I wish people would call me by my proper name.

This is my daughter, Crystal Jade.
Crystal says: I like my first name, but I wish it had a more interesting spelling. I might change it when I'm older, any ideas?
This is my daughter, Elizabeth Grace. She's a tomboy
Elizabeth says: I hate my name, it's too girly. Can you give me an idea for a nickname?

You say: I'll call you Christopher if you want me to.
You think: Boooring. Topher is lousy, though.
This is my son Ashley Dean
Ashley says: There's a lot of girls with the same name as me. I hate girls.
You say: You could have Ash as a nickname.
You think: Nice to see Ashley on a boy.
This is my daughter, Crystal Jade.
Crystal says: I like my first name, but I wish it had a more interesting spelling. I might change it when I'm older, any ideas?
Think: Um, no, sorry.
Say: Please don't.

Elizabeth says: I hate my name, it's too girly. Can you give me an idea for a nickname?
Think: Eh, fine
Say: What about Zabeth?

You say: Hi, Christopher. Look on the bright side, there are a lot worse nn's you could get stuck with, and you can tell people you're just meeting that you prefer Christopher.
You think: Christopher Mark is a nice name, but I don't think I like Topher. Besides, Christopher doesn't need any abbreviation.
This is my son Ashley Dean
Ashley says: There's a lot of girls with the same name as me. I hate girls.
You say: Well, I think Ashley sounds much nicer on a boy than a girl; I'm glad the girls haven't stolen it away completely. You could go by Ash if you don't like Ashley.
You think: I love Ashley on a boy, but I don't like Dean much, and I especially don't like it in this combo.
This is my daughter, Crystal Jade.
Crystal says: I like my first name, but I wish it had a more interesting spelling. I might change it when I'm older, any ideas?
Say: Krystal is nice, though I like Crystal best. Just keep in mind that a lot of people will mispell it if you change it to an unusual spelling, and make sure it's easy to see how it's pronounced. Kreeystaiyhhl is probably a bad idea!
Think: Ditto

You say: I like Topher. You could have people call you Chris.
You think: I like Topher better because most people named Christopher go by Chris
This is my son Ashley Dean
Ashley says: There's a lot of girls with the same name as me. I hate girls.
You say: You could call yourself Ash or Dean
You think: I like Dean . . Not a fan of Ashley for a guy.

I came up with the stuff the kid says, but you can use it, it's not patented. :)

You say: Don't worry, Christopher, I'll call you by your real name. I feel your pain I was stuck with "Kina" until I was like 11 or something!
You think: I like his name! That's awesome.
This is my son Ashley Dean
Ashley says: There's a lot of girls with the same name as me. I hate girls.
You say: Hehe, you remind me of when I was a kid - escept I hated boys because I actually am a girl. By the way, I love your name for a boy, don't let some girls bring you down, buddy.
You think: I really like his name too!
This is my daughter, Crystal Jade.
Crystal says: I like my first name, but I wish it had a more interesting spelling. I might change it when I'm older, any ideas?
You say: You have a great name! You could go for K-R-Y-S-T-A-L or K-R-I-S-T-A-L or C-R-I-S-T-A-L or something like that... there's tons of them!
This is my daughter, Elizabeth Grace. She's a tomboy
Elizabeth says: I hate my name, it's too girly. Can you give me an idea for a nickname?
You say: I've always loved Elsie and Elise, are those too girly for you too? My tomboy friend goes by Izzy, another is Liz and another is Lizzy, and of course there's Beth. There are tons!
You think: Yeah, I like Elizabeth but there are so many great nicknames I'd probably go for one too. Especially to lower the prissy-feminine level.

You say: I really like Topher, but how about you tell people that you want to be called Christopher?
You think: Topher is so much better than Christopher.
This is my son Ashley Dean
Ashley says: There's a lot of girls with the same name as me. I hate girls.
You say: You look like an Ashley. How about you go by Ash, Asher, or Dean? Plus, you won't feel the sam way about girls in about, oh, 10 years... Or maybe you will.
You think: Ashley is great, but Dean is really old fashioned.
This is my daughter, Crystal Jade.
Crystal says: I like my first name, but I wish it had a more interesting spelling. I might change it when I'm older, any ideas?
You say: Christal is nice.
You think: Ick. Ick. Ick.
This is my daughter, Elizabeth Grace. She's a tomboy
Elizabeth says: I hate my name, it's too girly. Can you give me an idea for a nickname?
You say: How about Liz, Liza, Aliza, Grace, Zabeth, or Grace?
You think: How boring. I hope she changes her name to Aliza when she gets older.
