Not really sure if this qualifies as a game, but oh well.
What you do is: write down a list of boy and girl names you love from books, TV shows, movies and video games (had to throw that one in there because there are some names from video games my brothers play that I like). Originally I was going to have a list of ten boy names and ten girl names but there were two more girl names I just loved, so I guess you can make the list as long as you want (within reason).
Now preferably they should be names that you began to love after you watched/read about them, but I guess it doesn’t really matter. After you write a name say what it’s from and why you love it.
Here are mine:
Girls:
[name]Hazel[/name] from ‘A Dolphins Tale’ - I knew about this name before I watched the movie but for some reason it always seemed too adultish, but now I can see this name on someone of any age. The girl in the movie is so cute and spunky so that’s how I imagine the name now.
[name]Arya[/name] from ‘The Inheritance Cycle’ - When I read the book I loved the name, but I didn’t know it was a real name until later on, now I love it even more. Another variation is [name]Aria[/name] which means ‘a melody’. I think it’s so sort and pretty.
[name]Rue[/name] from ‘The Hunger Games’ - The name [name]Rue[/name] is soft, short and cute. At first I wasn’t too crazy about it but by the end of the book I loved it.
[name]Fiona[/name] from ‘Shrek’ - Some people have a problem with this name because it reminds them of an ogre, but I’ve never had that problem. I mean she is a princess some of the time. And I love Celtic names so this is one I love.
[name]Rosanna[/name] from ‘The Hatfields & The McCoys’ - I’ve always love ‘[name]Rose[/name]’ names so as soon as I heard it I though ‘I have to add this to my list!’ And later that night I checked Nameberry and it was one the most seared names that day. I think it’s so SO soft and lovely!
[name]Esme[/name] from ‘Twilight’ - [name]Esme[/name] is a charming French. I love this one it’s short but sophisticated. And I love the character.
[name]Ivy[/name] from ‘The Village’ - I actually didn’t like this name until I watched ‘The Village’, but I just love the character so I fell in love with the name. And I kinda have this love of nature names.
[name]Scarlett[/name] from ‘G.I. [name]Joe[/name] vs. Cobra’ - This is kind of a funny one but when I was younger I would watch the animated movie ‘G.I [name]Joe[/name]’ with my brothers and I thought the character was so cool! I didn’t even know it was a real name until years later and then I just fell in love with the name. I actually forgot about the character in ‘G.I. [name]Joe[/name]’ until a few days ago when I was assembling this list.
[name]Elena[/name] from ‘Uncharted’ - ‘Uncharted’ is a really cool movie-like video game my brothers love and one of the main characters in it is named [name]Elena[/name], as soon as I heard I loved it and added it to my ‘Top Ten’ list.
[name]Rosalie[/name] from ‘Twilight’ - Before I watched the movie I had never heard of this name before and I didn’t really dislike or like it at first, but now I really think it’s lovely.
[name]Chloe[/name] from ‘Uncharted’ - Another name from ‘Uncharted’. I actually began liking this name because of [name]Chloe[/name] Moretz, but ‘Uncharted’ defiantly added to my love for it.
[name]Bellatrix[/name] from ‘[name]Harry[/name] [name]Potter[/name]’ - This one might be unusable for some people because of the character ‘[name]Harry[/name] [name]Potter[/name]’ who is terrifying! But there are tons of names villains have in movies that are lovely, so why should that stop you? I love the name [name]Bella[/name] as in [name]Isabella[/name], and [name]Trix[/name] as in [name]Beatrix[/name] so this name is perfect for me!
Boys:
Eothane from ‘The [name]Lord[/name] of the Rings’ - I know Eothane isn’t a real name and I would never use it but I think it’s a cool name so it’s on my list.
[name]Wesley[/name] from ‘The [name]Princess[/name] [name]Bride[/name]’ - I’ve loved this name for quite a while but I didn’t think of it as modern until I heard it in ‘Wanted’, which I didn’t like but I saw that it could be used these days. It’s also on my ‘Top Ten’ list.
[name]Lucian[/name] from ‘The Village’ - I kinda liked the name [name]Lucian[/name] before I watched the movie but after I watched it I loved it! I love the character and I think the name is really cool.
Tuvia from ‘Defiance’ - The second time I was watching this movie I really payed attention to the names and realized how much I loved this name! I will most likely name one of my kids this.
[name]Conor[/name] from ‘Airman’ - I didn’t like this name at all until I read this book but I fell in love with the character and later on his name. I like this spelling more than [name]Connor[/name], and it’s Irish!
[name]Draco[/name] from ‘[name]Harry[/name] [name]Potter[/name]’ - I’m not crazy about this name but I think it’s pretty cool. And it means Dragon, which is cool.
[name]Edward[/name] from ‘Twilight’ - I’ve always loved the name [name]Edward[/name] but after I watched the movie I liked it even more.
Farimir from ‘The [name]Lord[/name] of the Rings’ - Farimir used to be on my ‘Top Ten’ list but I decided not to name my future kid that because it’s made up. But I still like it.
[name]Carlisle[/name] from ‘Twilight’ - Once again not crazy about this name but it’s really cool and I do really like it.
[name]Ezio[/name] from ‘Assassins [name]Creed[/name]’ - I think this name is so cool and it’s from one of the few video games I like. It was very briefly on my ‘Ton Ten’ list.
Girls:
[name]Hazel[/name] from ‘A Dolphins Tale’ - I have a great aunt named this but I thought it was too old until I saw A Dolphins Tale
[name]Rue[/name] from ‘The Hunger Games’ - it’s cute but I have a cat named Roo who is a boy
[name]Esme[/name] from ‘Twilight’ - Had never heard of it before Twilight
[name]Rosalie[/name] from ‘Twilight’
[name]Juno[/name] from ‘[name]Juno[/name]’ - Never heard it before this
[name]Alba[/name] from 'The Time [name]Traveller[/name]‘s Wife’ - Never heard it before
[name]Bay[/name] from ‘Switched at Birth’ - Never even seen the show but heard about the name and thought it was cool
[name]Antonia[/name] from ‘[name]Andre[/name]’
[name]Bliss[/name] from ‘[name]Blue[/name] Bloods’ - it’s pretty and different and I never considered it as a name before this

[name]Linnea[/name] from '[name]Linnea[/name] in [name]Monet[/name]‘s Garden’ - have loved this name because of this since I was 7
