Here’s how to play:
The first person (me) says a name and the next person thinks of as many nicknames for it as they can.
Example:
[name]Benjamin[/name] - [name]Ben[/name], [name]Benny[/name], [name]Benji[/name], [name]Jamie[/name], [name]Jimmy[/name], [name]Min[/name]
Then they give a name for the next person to do!
