Name Game

We haven't played the name game in a while so I thought I would start one.

The way it goes is you have a list from A-Z of names and then you take one out you do not like (sometimes people explain why it can be hilarious - this is not a must) and then in the end we end up with a winner. The last one to take a name out leaving 1 makes the next list. So here it goes (going to try to not use names I remember being discussed here currently if I do it is not intentionally - and also mix it up a bit with well used names and more unusual ones)

Ava
Bella
Carradoc
Daniel
Esmeralda
Francesca
Gabriel
Horrace
Ida
Jessa
Konstantin
Lenny
Melodie
Nonnie
Oscar
Peter
Queenie
Ramona
Sophie
Teddy
Uffe
Victoria
Xante
Yates
Zachary
