Associate & Eliminate CAF

Baby Name Games Create a Family
1

A new game hybrid mixing The CAF AND Elimination Game & Associate & Eliminate!

Idea:

  • Like CAF & Elimination, as a group we’ll be eliminating names from a name bank for each family member.
  • But first, like A&E, each poster will add a name that they associate with the most recent name in the list until there is a certain amount of names (in the original it’s 25, but I think it will be easier to use 8 for this game).
  • Once there are 8 names in each family member’s name bank, posters will eliminate one name from each bank until each family member has 1 first & 1 middle name!
  • Whoever finalizes the names can make a new family and give them starting names.

Names can be associated by anything such as sound, letters, meaning, theme, etc. as long it makes sense to you!

Example

Poster 1
dh: Eleanor / Claire
dw: Arthur / Peter
–dd: Sarah / Opal

Poster 2
dh: Eleanor, Nora / Claire, Blair
dw: Arthur, Merlin / Peter, Gabriel
–dd: Sarah, Sorcha / Opal, Emerald

Let’s start with a small family to get the ball rolling :slight_smile:

dh: Charles / Alexander
dw: Holly / Katherine

dd: Tamsin / Matilda
ds: Joshua / Lucas

I once knew someone who hated both the names [name_f]Jennifer[/name_f] and [name_f]Ellen[/name_f], which made me love both, so they’re linked in my mind.
