I don’t know if you have ever done this, but there is baby shower game we played at my shower (prior to us announcing our child’s name) where we would give them a list of names we were considering and they had to say the first word(s) that came to mind with that name on the spot. Some of them were real names we were considering and others were “for fun” games.
Anyway, I thought it would be fun to sort of play it on here, but with a twist. You have to do it to your own list first. Choose your top 2-3 names or name combos for each gender from your list and state the first words or associations you think of when you see the name. You can use the names of children you already have if you want.The next person will do the same to the person before them’s chosen names and their own.
I’ll start:
Boys:
Pyrus [name_m]Nikolai[/name_m] - [name_m]Gold[/name_m], glowing, warmth, peace, romance, bookworm, autumn, sunrise.
Bramble [name_m]Gideon[/name_m] - [name_f]Earth[/name_f], messy, making mud pies, deer, crickets, laughter, dreamer, summer morning.
Thistle [name_u]Dorian[/name_u] - Seafoam green, warm sunshine on a cold day, tall grass, sand dollars, rain on a rooftop, climbing trees, early winter.
Girls:
[name_u]Juniper[/name_u] [name_u]Teagan[/name_u] - [name_u]Teal[/name_u], silver, waterfalls, spring, energy, feisty princess, free spirit
Catkin [name_f]Guinevere[/name_f] - Emeralds, butterflies, sunshine through a leaf canopy, archer, warrior princess, dancing, summer, sunset.
Nettle [name_f]Chiyo[/name_f] - Violets, dew, fireflies, stars, night sky, mideval, queen, summer
So the next person will do mine and then their own and so forth.
