Basically, one poster thinks of a name and then describes the rest of the people in the family so the next poster can fill in the blanks. It’s a bit like ‘Name Your Own Family, Choose Their Family’ only with more detail!
For Example:
Eleanor-Victoria [name_f]Judith[/name_f] Wilcox
One parent is a cardiothoracic surgeon and the other is a barrister. She has 6 older brothers and they all have sturdy, traditional names. Their names can all be shortened to a nickname but their parents prefer to call them by their given names. She was given a long double-barrelled first name because she is the last child and only daughter, and her parents could not decide between [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] or [name_f]Victoria[/name_f] so they merged them together.

So then the next person would fill in the blanks based on the information given and then create another family for the next person to fill in.

One parent is a nurse and the other is a primary school teacher. His dad is quite a bit older than his mum and has a name that reflects this. His mum however, has a traditional name but always goes by a nickname. The nickname is a generic one. He has two sisters and they both have names with five letters in them. One starts with an A and the other starts with a J.

The families can be as long/short and young/old as you like. There aren’t any restrictions so you can be as creative as you feel like being
I’ll start:
[name_f]Judith[/name_f] [name_f]Margaret[/name_f] [name_u]Park[/name_u]
Parents both run their own vintage clothing company. One parent has a name that was extremely popular during the 80s and the other has a short but not nickname type name. She has 4 brothers and 2 sisters, and they all have names that were popular from the 1940s-1970. They all go by nicknames. When she was younger everyone called her [name_f]Judy[/name_f] but now she prefers to go by [name_u]Jude[/name_u].
