Love, Like, Lose - by meaning of name

LineSofie · March 25, 2021, 5:26pm

So I’ve become obsessed with [name_u]Love[/name_u], Like, Lose games where you are given a list of names that you rank. So for instance you have a list of 9 names, you must then choose 3 that you love, 3 that you like and 3 that you lose. The names you lose you substitute with other names. The twist with this version is that you must pick a new name from the meaning of the name you lost. The names can be both boys and girls names.

Example:
[name_u]August[/name_u], [name_f]Rose[/name_f], [name_u]Brennan[/name_u], [name_f]Cora[/name_f], [name_f]Jane[/name_f], [name_u]Michael[/name_u], [name_u]Scott[/name_u], [name_m]Nicholas[/name_m], [name_f]Briony[/name_f]

My choice:
[name_u]Love[/name_u]: [name_f]Rose[/name_f], [name_m]Nicholas[/name_m], [name_u]August[/name_u]
Like: [name_u]Michael[/name_u], [name_f]Cora[/name_f], [name_f]Jane[/name_f]
Lose: [name_u]Scott[/name_u], [name_u]Brennan[/name_u], [name_f]Briony[/name_f]

New list: [name_f]Rose[/name_f], [name_m]Nicholas[/name_m], [name_u]August[/name_u], [name_u]Michael[/name_u], [name_f]Cora[/name_f], [name_f]Jane[/name_f], Douglas ([name_u]Scott[/name_u] = from [name_u]Scotland[/name_u], [name_u]Douglas[/name_u] = Scottish name), Tristan ([name_u]Brennan[/name_u] = descendant from a sad one, [name_u]Tristan[/name_u] = sorrowful), Chloe ([name_f]Briony[/name_f] = to sprout, [name_f]Chloe[/name_f] = young green shoot)

First poster can now continue with these names
