Naming Master: Name-the-Babies!
This Name the Babies game will follow three families. You will have to name the babies using the only profiles of the parents, and in later rounds, the children. You will receive no information on anyone’s naming preferences, and will have to use your Naming Master skills to make an educated guess on their style. After each round, I will add one sentence revealing something new to each person’s profile. The suggested name that matches each family’s naming style the closest will be selected. Winners revealed at the end of each round!
Round 1:
The Bazzoli’s
[name_f]Rosalia[/name_f] [name_f]Mia[/name_f] Bazzoli: [name_f]Rosalia[/name_f] is a quiet woman in her mid-twenties. She has a penchant for writing long, free-verse poetry and is a heavy user of both consonance and assonance.
Doriano [name_u]Armani[/name_u] Bazzoli: Doriano is two years older than his wife. He works as an English professor at the local community college. He loves to read [name_f]Rosalia[/name_f]’s poetry.
The Bazzoli’s have been married for three years now, and haven’t been able to decide at what point in their lives together they want kids. They are both overjoyed when [name_f]Rosalia[/name_f] finds that she is pregnant with a baby girl.
They decide that her name will be:
The Slocums
[name_f]Lori[/name_f] [name_f]Abbigale[/name_f] Slocum: [name_f]Lori[/name_f] is in her early thirties, and has hated her name all her life, and has considered legally changing it to [name_f]Laura[/name_f] or [name_f]Lauren[/name_f] all her life. But that name is just so popular with people her age, and she doesn’t want that either.
[name_u]Curtis[/name_u] [name_m]Henry[/name_m] Slocum, [name_m]Jr[/name_m].: [name_u]Curtis[/name_u] doesn’t understand why [name_f]Lori[/name_f] would want to change her name to [name_f]Laura[/name_f] or [name_f]Lauren[/name_f]. [name_m]Just[/name_m] so she can have a longer name to put on paper? Everyone would still call her [name_f]Lori[/name_f] anyway.
The Slocums have been married for seven years. They’re both nervous when [name_f]Lori[/name_f] finds that she’s pregnant with a girl, but they feel they’re definitely ready for it.
After careful consideration, they decide to name their daughter:
The Hales
[name_m]Sean[/name_m] [name_u]Michael[/name_u] [name_m]Hale[/name_m]: [name_m]Sean[/name_m] is in his mid-twenties. He loves his music, especially music that is older than he is. He could practically teach his own history class on the Beatles.
[name_f]Roxanne[/name_f] [name_u]Reese[/name_u] [name_m]Hale[/name_m]: [name_f]Roxanne[/name_f] shares her husband’s love for music. They met in a band [name_f]Roxanne[/name_f] and her friends created as teenagers – [name_m]Sean[/name_m] was their drummer. Though the band was fairly successful, [name_f]Roxanne[/name_f] quit after just two years. She’s never wanted music to be any more than a hobby for her.
The [name_m]Hale[/name_m]’s have been married for six years when [name_f]Roxanne[/name_f] reveals that she’s pregnant with a little boy! They are elated!
After many disagreements, [name_m]Sean[/name_m] and [name_f]Roxanne[/name_f] decide to name their son:
