The Name Elimination Game

[Lilka]

This is quite an interesting game to play - try it!!

You get a list of one name for each letter of the alphabet. Can be either boy or girl names.

The next person to post eliminates the name they like the least, and states why they eliminated it (please no nasty insults here e.g. that name is disgusting). Copy the modified list under you eliminated name so the next poster can follow on.

This then continues until there is only one name left, whuch is the winning name.

Then you can start a new list off with completely different names. Hopefully may give people some new name ideas. After a couple of rounds we may have to eliminate certain letters of the alphabet that are hard to find names for :)

Here is the list:

Adam
Brandon
Caden
Darrell
Elijah
Faith
Genevieve
Harriet
Isla
Jasmine
Katie
Lily
Marcus
Natasha
Oliver
Persephone
Queenie
Rosa

so many truly awful names on this list, but i do think willhelmina needs to go the most......

laughs reading everyones comments I went for names that are fairly unusual

and no Nynne is not pronounced like the german for no it is actually danish for humming and YES I knew a girl named it once
you say it Nuh-Neh

All of the names on there are people I have known whom I have thought Oh thats a bit unusual (apart from 2 or 3 that I just plain dont like myself lol)

"Nun-Neh" - I've heard that as a euphemism for fanjo in the past.
