The Nickname Game

Baby Name Games
1

I’m not sure if this is an original game, but I have fun doing this, so here goes…

Basically, the way it works is, one poster prompts a name (preferably long), and the next poster posts all the nicknames they can think of, as well as the next name. Try to keep the prompted names long with lots of sounds, so it is easy to think up nicknames. For example, instead of [name_f]Anne[/name_f], [name_f]Kate[/name_f], or [name_f]Tess[/name_f], post [name_f]Annalise[/name_f], [name_f]Katherine[/name_f], or [name_f]Teresa[/name_f]. I will show you an example -

Prompt - [name_f]Madeleine[/name_f]
Poster 1 - [name_f]Maddie[/name_f], [name_f]Addie[/name_f], [name_u]Del[/name_u], [name_f]Della[/name_f], [name_f]Dellie[/name_f], [name_f]Ellie[/name_f], [name_f]May[/name_f] - The next name is [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f]
Poster 2 - [name_f]Ellie[/name_f], [name_f]Liz[/name_f], [name_f]Lizzie[/name_f], [name_f]Eliza[/name_f], [name_f]Liza[/name_f], [name_f]Beth[/name_f], [name_f]Lissie[/name_f], [name_u]Lisa[/name_u], [name_f]Elisa[/name_f] - the next name is [name_m]Frederick[/name_m]
Poster 3 - [name_m]Fred[/name_m], [name_u]Freddie[/name_u], [name_u]Red[/name_u], [name_m]Derick[/name_m], [name_m]Rick[/name_m], [name_u]Ricky[/name_u], Ferick …

You get the idea. The goal is to think outside the box and come up with some new, unheard of nicknames, or nicknames that wouldn’t normally be associated with that particular name!

I’ll start it off-
