Let's Get To It

Baby Name Games
1

I read the title of a recent forum topic and thought of a game! It’s like Switcher Machine but instead of taking one name and switching it 5 times to whatever name you want, you have to get from one specific name (the Starter Name) to another specific name (the End Name). Each person gets 5 tries to get as close as possible, and if they succeed, cool! They pick the next Starter Name and End Name. If not, that’s okay! The next poster gets a try.

Try to make the jumps between names as reasonable as possible. Go from [name_m]Thomas[/name_m] to [name_m]Tobias[/name_m], not [name_m]Thomas[/name_m] to [name_m]Theodore[/name_m]. Similarly, you could go from [name_m]Thomas[/name_m] to [name_u]Edison[/name_u], but if you want to go from [name_m]Thomas[/name_m] to [name_u]Parker[/name_u] (since [name_m]Tom[/name_m] [name_u]Holland[/name_u] plays [name_m]Peter[/name_m] Parker), you’d have to go from [name_m]Thomas[/name_m] > [name_m]Tom[/name_m] > [name_u]Holland[/name_u] > [name_u]Parker[/name_u]. Basically, just play fair. Choose names that are similar enough or have strong enough associations that it’s easy to follow along.

For example, let’s get from [name_f]Jessamine[/name_f] to [name_f]Eurydice[/name_f].
