Eliminate one name for each gender. When possible, indicate the reasons for your elimination.
Here’s the twist: please also pick a favorite from each list to save from elimination. The next poster will not be allowed to eliminate your favorite, and you may not eliminate the favorite of the most recent poster before you. Only the most recent poster’s favorite is safe.
When only 3 names of each gender remain, favorites will no longer be protected from elimination.
Example:
B
[name]Griffin[/name] [name]Isaac[/name]
Save: [name]Nathaniel[/name] [name]Charles[/name]
G
[name]Adeline[/name] [name]Isabel[/name]
Save: [name]Delilah[/name] [name]Ruth[/name]
The next poster may not eliminate [name]Nathaniel[/name] [name]Charles[/name] or [name]Delilah[/name] [name]Ruth[/name] (although other posters can).
Have fun!
B
[name]Griffin[/name] [name]Isaac[/name]
Save: [name]Finn[/name] [name]Alexander[/name]
G
[name]Adeline[/name] [name]Isabel[/name]
Save: [name]Eliza[/name] [name]Charlotte[/name]
