Your Names, My Rules

A little chaotic game idea :slight_smile:

I feel like everyone has naming preferences and opinions (first names all have to start with the same letter, middle names have to be one syllable, no nature names, etc.)- this game uses them!

Your job is to shape the previous list of names to match one of your personal naming rules, while keeping the names as close to the original list as possible. If you don’t have any, feel free to make one up!

Your rule only lasts for your post, but you can bring it up as many times as you like.

Example:
Poster A:
[name_m]Harrison[/name_m] [name_m]Ford[/name_m] & [name_f]Lea[/name_f] [name_f]Michelle[/name_f]

Poster B:
Sorry, no celebrity names allowed!!

[name_m]Harry[/name_m] [name_m]Ford[/name_m] & [name_f]Mia[/name_f] [name_f]Michelle[/name_f]

Poster C:
Sorry, the first and middle initials have to be different!

[name_m]Harry[/name_m] [name_m]Ford[/name_m] & [name_f]Isla[/name_f] [name_f]Michelle[/name_f]

Poster D:
Sorry, I need to have at least three kids!

[name_m]Harry[/name_m] [name_m]Ford[/name_m] & [name_f]Isla[/name_f] [name_f]Michelle[/name_f] & [name_f]Gemma[/name_f] [name_f]Louise[/name_f]

Poster E:
Sorry, the first names need to have three syllables!

[name_m]Harrison[/name_m] [name_m]Ford[/name_m] & [name_f]Isabel[/name_f] [name_f]Michelle[/name_f] & [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] [name_f]Louise[/name_f]
Note that even though Poster B said no celebrity names are allowed, no one else has to honor that. That rule just applies for their post.

…and so on.

First names:
[name_m]Euan[/name_m] [name_m]Duke[/name_m] & [name_f]Rosalind[/name_f] [name_f]Paige[/name_f]
