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
Samuel
Tristan
Ursula
Vanessa
Wendy
Xavier
Yarjelis
Zara

No it's not - Freddie went, so it's between:

Elias
Isaiah

Or even!

Elias
Isiah

Dislike both but Isaiah more.

Winners is Elias!

I have had 2 turns so leave the floor open for someone else.

Its getting a bit difficult to think of names now, so I to give people more time I have gone throuh the thread and picked out all the wining names.. so we can play with them and pick the big winner so far!!

We've played 15 games so far which is pretty good going!!

Really dislike Lawrence.

Zoe
Georgie
Vincent

Georgia seems to have morphed into Georgie so just amending.

Zoe
Georgia
Vincent

Georgia
Vincent

Too many Zoes - a bit boring and unobjectionable!

I don't particularly like either of them.

But Vincent is certainly more refreshing than Georgia.

Vincent is the winner!

I very highly doubt if you'd had a poll of this topic before this thread was started anyone would guess that 'Vincent' would be the 'best of the best' on Mumsnet
