Each player posts a sibset of four to seven (genders are up to you). These can be names from your shortlist, names you’re just curious about, sibsets you know, etc. The next poster will then offer their impression of what that family might be like and offer four to seven new names of their own.
Example:
Poster One - [name_u]Charles[/name_u] [name_m]Heyward[/name_m], [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] [name_f]Bronte[/name_f], [name_f]Julia[/name_f] [name_f]Mary[/name_f], [name_u]William[/name_u] [name_u]Auden[/name_u] & [name_m]Alexander[/name_m] [name_u]Frost[/name_u]
Poster Two - A very traditional, literary family. I imagine the parents would be prolific readers and they would live in a small college town in a sunny little house with a cat and lots of old books and a nice garden for the children to play in.

Children from a very outdoorsy, nature loving family that live on the outskirts of a large town but spend almost every weekend exploring somewhere new. The kids adore being in or around water, and they love when they can paddle in streams. Their house is busy and full, but not messy or cramped and their garden is full of colourful flowers, plants & shrubs.

I would imagine this family lives in the suburbs. White picket fence and all that. They probably have a golden retriever and go on nightly family walks around the block. The kids are close with their cousins and the whole extended family rents out a beach house for a big family vacation each summer.

I imagine this family as a big, loud family living in a big city. the parents are interested in names and tried to be original naming their children. they enjoy art, painting, weekend trips to museums and trying new restaurants every sunday lunch. they have two cats and always dress in colorful clothes.

I imagine a happy family living in a brownstone building near a library. The parents read to their children every night before bed and encourage them to do well in school, but also support their children’s non academic endeavours. The little ones are well dressed and precocious, the kind of kids adults call a delight. Although the younger ones can be a little mischievous.
