This or That Variation

Baby Name Games
1

This is my first game-hope it’s okay!

You come from a very large family and you and your siblings are ready to start your own families. There is a tradition in which everytime a child is born, starting from A, their first initial must alphabetically follow their last cousin/sibling’s. Their second initial must also, except it goes backwards in the alphabet, starting with Z.

Their first two initials look like this:

  1. AZ 2) BY 3) CX, etc.

It is also family tradition for the parents of the last child born to pick out two names (boy or girl, you choose) using the next initials for the expecting parents to choose from (obviously if the next child were their own, they would just pick, but, since it’s a game I won’t get into that). The parents of the first-born get to choose a name on their own, then select two for the next baby. Keep the style of the first and second name as similar as you can.
After 26 names, it starts over.

Make sense? Please keep the names in a list (c&p) and erase the one you didn’t chose so we don’t get any repeats. Also, if you can keep all of this straight, put (b) or (g) next to the names so there isn’t any gender confusion. I will go first so everyone gets the idea.
