I was playing a game with some kids today, and it went something like, Person A says a name ([name_m]Ethan[/name_m]). Person B has to come up with a name that starts with the last letter of that name, so in this case, N. I was noticing that most of the names ended with Y (in which case, we went to the next letter, so [name_f]Emily[/name_f] would be Y or L), E, N, or R. H, I, and L were also pretty common. It got me thinking: what are some names that don’t end with these common endings?
