Baby Name Games
1

Thats right folks…12, count em…12 kids!
This game has two parts…

Part 1. Choose Family Structure (A B or C)
Option A:They are all yours, but you had mulitple sets of mulitples.
Twins:
B/B
Quints: (thats the word for 5 of them right?)
G/G/G/B/B
Twins:
B/G
Identical Triplets:
G/G/G

Aption B…Half natural/Half Adopted
Six natural: B/B/G/B/G/G. (All single, no mulitples)
Adopted: 2 from [name]Russia[/name], 2 from [name]Africa[/name], 2 from [name]Asia[/name]
(For the adopted children, use a name suitable for thier country of origin (first or middle)

Option C The Blended Family

A widower with 5 kids marries a divorcee with 7.
Mix em however you want B/G, but the names from the groups have to flow together…
Ex: All Biblical names or all French, names all have one letter in common, names all end with the same sound, names all start with the same letter, names all mean similar things.

PART 2 THE NAMES!
Name them whatever you want…
The only rule: If you use 2 middles, give everyone two middle names.

This should be challenging, but fun…feel free to post more than once…you can do all three options if you want, just post em seprately please.

This should be fun. I’m going to do all three, starting with A, the Multiple Family. (I’ve always loved coming up with name sets for multiples!)

Twins:
[name]Nicholas[/name]
[name]Jonathan[/name]

Quints: (yes, that’s the proper term)
[name]Maureen[/name]
[name]Marisa[/name]
[name]Michelle[/name]
[name]Matthew[/name]
[name]Michael[/name]

Twins:
[name]Christian[/name]
[name]Cindy[/name]

Identical Triplets:
Susina
[name]Skye[/name]
[name]Samantha[/name]

Coming up with middle names is just too much for me, when it’s a full dozen kids we’re trying to name here. :slight_smile:

12

Option 2, the Bios & the Adoptees:

6 natural: [name]Christian[/name], [name]Scott[/name], Susina, [name]Adam[/name], [name]Jenny[/name], [name]Cindy[/name]
2 adopted from [name]Russia[/name]: [name]Stefan[/name], [name]Marina[/name]
2 adopted from [name]Africa[/name]: Adeben (male, meaning “twelfth-born”!), [name]Jamila[/name] (female)
2 adopted from [name]Asia[/name]: [name]Liem[/name] (male, Vietnamese), Kannitha (female, Cambodian)

13

Option 3, the Blended Family. I’m going to have fun with this one, since the previous two were sort of “fantasy families” for me.

His five: [name]Miranda[/name], [name]Titania[/name], [name]Oberon[/name], Umbriel, [name]Ariel[/name] (G/G/B/B/G)
Her seven: [name]Estelle[/name], [name]Carina[/name], [name]Sterling[/name], [name]Danica[/name], Hoshiko, Esteri, Aranck (G/G/B/G/G/G/B)

All having to do with outer space. His kids are named after five of Uranus’ moons; her kids have names that all mean “star” in different languages (respectively, French, Swedish [constellation name, in this case], English, Slavic, Japanese, Finnish and Algonquin).

14

Also, his children (except Umbriel) are named after [name]Shakespeare[/name] characters in, respectively, The [name]Tempest[/name], A Midsummer [name]Night[/name]'s [name]Dream[/name], A Midsummer [name]Night[/name]'s [name]Dream[/name], and The [name]Tempest[/name]. I love [name]Sterling[/name], [name]Estelle[/name], and [name]Carina[/name]!

15

I’ll do the multiples!

Twins:
[name]Elias[/name], [name]Caleb[/name]

Quints:
[name]Adelaide[/name], [name]Emmaline[/name], [name]Josephine[/name], [name]Xavier[/name], [name]Zachery[/name]

Twins:
[name]Leo[/name], [name]Naomi[/name]

Triplets:
[name]Gemma[/name], [name]Leila[/name], [name]Malia[/name]

I’m too tired to make up middle names right now

16
