I’ve been looking at a lot of celebrity names lately … not their babies, but their own names. Some of them made me think “Wow, if it wasn’t a celebrity name, I might actually use it” … thus the idea for this game
[i][name]Person[/name] 1: [name]Richard[/name] [name]Ian[/name] (Cox)
[name]Person[/name] 2: Yes; [name]Carly[/name] [name]Maria[/name] (McKillip)
[name]Person[/name] 3: No; … And so on and so on.[/i]
To start off, let’s go with … [name]Channing[/name] [name]Matthew[/name] ([name]Tatum[/name])

No; [name]Channing[/name] is nms, and I don’t like the nn of [name]Chan[/name] either.
[name]Adriana[/name] [name]Francesca[/name] (Lima)
No; they’re both cute names, but not my style for what I would use
[name]Seann[/name] [name]William[/name] ([name]Scott[/name])

No; I can’t stand [name]Seann[/name] spelled with two n’s, and [name]William[/name]'s too common a name for my tastes.
[name]Lucy[/name] [name]Alexis[/name] (Liu)
Very cute, but NMS. Maybe? I m not too bothered by the celebrity connection…
[name]Kate[/name] [name]Elizabeth[/name] ([name]Winslet[/name])
Maybe. I prefer the longer forms of the FN (ie. [name]Katherine[/name], [name]Kathleen[/name], or [name]Katrina[/name]), but I don’t hate [name]Kate[/name]. [name]Love[/name] the classic [name]Elizabeth[/name] as a MN.
[name]Claire[/name] [name]Catherine[/name] (Danes)
No. Too similar and doesn’t really sound right.
[name]Ashley[/name] [name]Victoria[/name] ([name]Benson[/name])
No. I’m not the biggest fan of either name.
[name]Joshua[/name] [name]Ryan[/name] (Hutcherson)
Yes.
[name]Whitney[/name] [name]Elizabeth[/name] ([name]Houston[/name])
No, too mainstream for my taste.
[name]Jada[/name] [name]Koren[/name] (Pinkett [name]Smith[/name])
No, too many negative associations with [name]Jade[/name].
[name]Ewan[/name] [name]Gordon[/name] ([name]McGregor[/name])
No.
[name]Ione[/name] [name]Skye[/name] (Leitch)

maybe, it’s pretty
[name]Anna[/name] [name]Helene[/name] (Paquin)
Yes. Classic.
[name]Jennifer[/name] [name]Lynn[/name] (Lopez)
No. It’s pretty, but not my style.
[name]Ryan[/name] [name]Thomas[/name] (Gosling)
It’s ok, I find it quite boring. But I don’t dislike it.
[name]Rosie[/name] [name]Alice[/name] ([name]Huntington[/name]-Whiteley)
No. Not fond of nicknames as a full name.
[name]Denzel[/name] [name]Hayes[/name] ([name]Washington[/name])
Start with one person giving a celebrity name (first and middle with last name in parentheses), and the next person says “Yes I would use it” or “No I wouldn’t use it” and gives a new name
